Responsibilities

  • Help developers discover Oso. Get the word out on Oso, inspire users and help them adopt it with demos and sample apps, blog posts, tutorials, and videos, plus talks at meetups, conferences and on podcasts.
  • Be a strong supportive force in the developer community: You are helpful and supportive by nature, and get energy from helping developers solve problems. You’ll engage with users through various channels (e.g., Slack) to help them with their problems. Capture feedback and feed it back to our engineers.
  • Acquire new users: Help developers learn about authorization and create compelling reasons to try Oso.
  • Engage with members of our community: Help us build deeper relationships with the developers using Oso, meet with and educate new developers on authorization best practices.
