Job Description
Modern software runs on open source — and managing the compliance, security, and regulatory complexity that comes with it is one of the biggest problems facing engineering and legal teams today. FOSSA is the platform they use to address these challenges. We help thousands of organizations automate license compliance, prioritize vulnerabilities, generate and operationalize SBOMs, and meet regulatory requirements. Whether it's scanning AI-generated code for IP risks or helping a company through M&A due diligence, FOSSA gives teams the confidence to ship software they trust. FOSSA is a rapidly growing series-B company with a truly distributed team. While our roots are in San Francisco, our growing team has members in several countries across many time zones. We’re always working to find the perfect balance of effective approaches to distributed work, while maintaining the direct personal connections that help us work better together and love our jobs.
About the Role The Core team owns the heart of the FOSSA product: the application our customers log into every day, the APIs and integrations they build on, and the data model everything else depends on. It is where the majority of customer-facing work lands, which means you will see the impact of what you build almost immediately. This is a full-stack role. You will work across the product, from the database up through the API to the interface, and you will own features end to end rather than handing them off at a boundary. We are looking for someone who cares about the whole outcome: the design, the code, the rollout, and what happens after it ships.
