About this role

Authorium is hiring for a Head of Engineering role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • 7+ years building software, with at least 2–3 years leading engineers directly — and you are still writing and reviewing code today
  • Strong fundamentals in distributed systems and cloud architecture
  • Demonstrable recent technical depth: you can walk us through an architecture you designed, a production incident you personally diagnosed, and a technical decision you got wrong and corrected
  • Track record of maintaining predictable quality and delivery, with specifics on how you managed it and what it cost
  • Experience leading a distributed team, holding quality and communication together across time zones
  • Fluency with modern AI-assisted development, plus a real point of view on where agent-generated code needs human scrutiny and where it does not
  • Comfortable in a growing startup environment where capacity and capabilities are being defined, refined, and operationalized.
  • Strong internal and external communication skills; written, calls, in-person engagements.
