Authority Partners is seeking a Senior Developer to serve as the primary agent orchestrator and hands-on technical leader on a greenfield digital media platform engagement. You will own the AI agent pipeline, personally lead implementation of the most security-critical EPICs, hold final code review authority across the engineering team, and sit on the 3-person security review panel that gates all AI-generated code on identity, payments, and video authentication.

7+ years of professional backend development, with at least 2 years in a tech lead or principal engineer role
Hands-on production Keycloak experience: multi-realm configuration, custom FreeMarker themes, RBAC fine-grained authorisation, high-availability Kubernetes cluster, Keycloak event listener SPI, and the ability to review agent-generated Keycloak code for correctness and security vulnerabilities
Stripe Subscriptions API at implementation depth: subscription lifecycle, trial-to-paid conversion, multi-country VAT handling, idempotent webhook event processing, entitlement state machine design
Senior-level TypeScript/Node.js with the ability to review AI-generated backend code for type safety violations, missing error handling, async misuse, SQL injection via ORM, broken object-level authorisation, and missing idempotency
Direct experience directing AI agent code generation workstreams (Claude Code, Cursor Agent, or GitHub Copilot Workspace) in a production delivery context
OWASP Top 10 at code review depth: practical identification of injection vulnerabilities, authentication flaws, CSRF, SSRF, and security misconfiguration in TypeScript/Node.js and Next.js
Nice to Have:
RTBF (Right-to-Be-Forgotten) orchestration implementation across PostgreSQL, Redis, OpenSearch, and external systems in a GDPR-compliant event-driven workflow
PostgreSQL production expertise: complex schema design, query optimisation with EXPLAIN ANALYSE, transaction design for multi-step subscription lifecycle operations
Redis production expertise: session storage with correct TTL and eviction policy, entitlement cache invalidation strategy, rate limiting with sliding window counters
Prior work on B2B2C platforms with IP-range-based corporate access, named user bulk subscriptions, or multi-tier entitlement enforcement
