Not really - if you aren't authorized to do that as a developer, it's likely because of IP issues, etc; IOW, you have access to privileged info (the code and IP) - and you are supplying it to an outside 3rd party without permission from your employer.
If all that happens is you get fired - you are lucky. A very expensive lawsuit would be a more likely outcome, depending on the company and their resources, and whether they want to "make an example". It's not much different than taking their code and handing it to a competitor.
