Authzed

Sr. Software Engineer - Distributed Databases

Account Executive

Authzed is seeking a Senior Software Engineer, experienced in distributed databases, to enhance SpiceDB, their open-source permissions database inspired by Google’s Zanzibar. This role involves optimizing performance, scalability, and efficiency for both OSS and Enterprise versions. Key responsibilities include low-latency query optimization, refining database architecture, and ensuring system robustness for large-scale, mission-critical applications. The engineer will research, design, implement, and test new features, troubleshoot issues, and drive optimization efforts through statistics, query planning, and materialized views.

<p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">About authzed</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">We’re pioneering open-source authorization solutions for scaling businesses tackling complex end-user permissions in zero-trust architectures. Our focus is on providing SpiceDB—the most mature open-source permissions database inspired by Google’s Zanzibar system—and building managed services that enable planet-scale production authorization services.</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">Our strategic approach to capital-raising has empowered us to efficiently utilize our $3.9M seed fund and recently secure a $12M Series A.
