About the role
About AuthZed:
We are the creators and maintainers of SpiceDB and the authorization infrastructure that companies around the world depend on to keep their engineering teams focused on what matters most - their own product.
We are a team focused on fixing broken access control with products that eliminate complex permission management while delivering enterprise-scale performance and consistent access control.
AuthZed is a fully remote company with employees across the US, Canada, and Europe. We’re a hardworking and close-knit group with a software-driven culture (yep, even our GTM team understands and loves this technology)! We bring integrity to all our interactions, fostering confidence in decision making - trusting and respecting each voice on our team, every day.
Company Values:
-
Agency: Everyone should have the capability, freedom, and confidence to bring about changes to our business and product. Organizational processes exist to clearly define our goals, but not restrict how progress is made.
-
Collaboration: Success is defined in various dimensions and no single person can be an expert in all of them. Without valuing the opinions of others, finding compromises, and sharing mutual trust and respect, you cannot arrive at the best possible solution.
-
Open-mindedness: Without asking questions, testing assumptions, and questioning our pre-existing biases we risk operating within an echo-chamber. We celebrate the representation of diverse perspectives and backgrounds as a catalyst for creating an inclusive work environment that everyone can appreciate.
About the Role:
As a Site Reliability Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring the reliability, availability, and performance of our systems. You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining scalable infrastructure solutions to support our growing customer base. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced environment and contribute to the success of a company bringing a Google-inspired authorization system to companies around the globe.
What you’ll own:
-
Design, implement, and maintain highly available and scalable infrastructure solutions for our projects, products, and customers.
-
Monitor and analyze system performance, identifying and resolving bottlenecks and issues to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
-
Automate infrastructure deployment and configuration management processes.
-
Continuously improve system reliability, security, and efficiency through proactive monitoring, capacity planning, and performance tuning.
-
Troubleshoot and resolve complex infrastructure and application issues in production and test environments.
-
Collaborate with software engineering teams to design and implement systems that are resilient, scalable, and secure.
