Software Engineer, Authorium

• Significant co-op or internship experience — ideally 3+ terms in software engineering roles where you shipped to production, not just internal tooling. Waterloo-style co-op depth is exactly what we're looking for
• Systems Thinker: You've worked with real production codebases and can reason about data models, system boundaries, and tradeoffs — not just implement tickets
• High-Agency: You've operated in fast-moving environments where you had to figure things out without hand-holding. You ask good questions, but you don't wait for perfect clarity before moving
• Security Minded: You have working knowledge of defensive coding practices and authorization models — and you've thought about security as a design constraint, not an afterthought
• Quality Obsessed: Clean code, meaningful tests, readable PRs. You've been in codebases where shortcuts hurt the next person, and you don't want to be that person
• San Francisco Based: Energized by an in-office (Monday–Thursday) collaborative culture

Desirable

• Shipping Real Features from Day One: You won't be on a "new grad track" — you'll deliver complex, high-impact features across our platform, from versioning systems to approval workflows and permission models, with the same ownership expectations as the rest of the team
• Learning Architecture by Doing: Participate in architectural decisions and contribute to ADRs (Architecture Decision Records)
• You'll have senior engineers to learn from, but you'll be expected to form and defend your own technical opinions early
• High-Bandwidth Collaboration: Work in-person (Monday–Thursday) in our SF office to whiteboard solutions, debug production bottlenecks, and move from idea to deployment at high velocity
• This is the fastest learning environment we know how to build
• Engineering Craft: Uphold a high bar for code quality through deep code reviews, comprehensive testing, and contributing to our automated quality gates
• Your co-op or internship experience means you already know what "production-grade" looks like
• AI-Native Workflow: Use Cursor and Claude to offload boilerplate and focus on complex implementation
• You'll help refine our AI-first patterns — including agentic testing and automated reviews — and we expect new grads to push this frontier as much as anyone
