Head of Engineering
Authorium, United States
What you will do
What you'll own
Hands-On Technical Contribution: You are comfortable in the codebase. You are able to take work yourself rather vs. only routing it. You personally investigate complex, ambiguous problems before deciding how to tackle them with the team. You are a technical mentor to the engineering teams you work with.
Team Leadership: Lead, coach, and grow a small blended team of full-time engineers, contractors, and an offshore agency partner across multiple time zones. Run 1:1s and career coaching, set clear expectations, manage capacity, and build a culture of collaboration and ownership and excitement around delivery.
Delivery Accountability: Own what engineering commits to and whether it lands. Set priorities, unblock the team, set realistic dates, surface slippage before it becomes a customer conversation, and course-correct in the open. Delivery predictability is the metric that matters most in your first year.
Technical Execution & Architecture: Own architecture and technical-debt decisions inside the platform and interface with security and compliance leaders. Create documented plans that acknowledge tradeoffs and guide executive decisionmaking. Be a critical member of the leadership team driving Authorium’s platform vision forward.
