About Oso

Oso helps companies run agents in production with confidence using monitoring, access controls, and automated least privilege. Backed by Sequoia and Felicis.

About the role

Educate the world on Authorization. This is a new topic for many engineers which grows with complexity as applications become more complex. The developer community needs your guidance on the best approaches to take and the challenges to anticipate. At Oso you’ll become that expert and engage with our users to help them navigate these challenging problems.

What they're looking for

  • You have experience as a professional developer working in more than one programming language
  • You can create clear and creative technical writing, and you can demonstrate this by sharing long-form writing samples upon request
  • You have worked at a startup or in a similar environment
  • A plus for those who have built authorization systems before (and who have lived to tell the tale)
  • You have a track record of delivering great technical talks at small or large conferences, meetups, hackathons or similar
  • Who you are
More about this role

Traction : Oso is used by thousands of companies from startups to the Fortune 500, like Wayfair, ProductBoard, Vanta, Brex, Verizon, ZoomInfo, and Duolingo.

Capital : We're backed by the world’s best investors, including Sequoia, Felicis, and a standout group of infrastructure founders and operators: Olivier Pomel (Founder, Datadog), Dev Ittycheria (CEO, MongoDB), Armon Dadgar (Founder, HashiCorp), Edith Harbaugh (Founder, LaunchDarkly), Guy Podjarny (Founder, Snyk), Paul Copplestone (Founder, Supabase), Christina Cacioppo (Founder, Vanta), and Calvin French-Owen (Founder, Segment).

Team : We've spent 5+ years...
