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 Series A company, 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.
As Sr. Developer Advocate you'll collaborate closely with our Lead Developer Advocate to shape advocacy strategy, quarterly priorities, and long-term vision, with a strong focus on the role of authorization in agentic AI. You'll define and track success metrics for advocacy initiatives, iterating based on developer engagement and product outcomes. You'll act as a technical authority for our products and technologies, producing opinionated technical content (e.g. videos, tutorials, sample apps, reference architectures, and integrations). You'll serve as a conduit of feedback to the Product and Engineering teams by turning external observations into actionable recommendations. You'll engage with developers in physical communities (e.g. KubeCon) and on social media (Reddit, LinkedIn, HackerNews, DevTo).
