Requirements
  • 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
Responsibilities
  • Educate the world on authorization. This is a new topic for many engineers and building authorization services becomes more challenges as applications get 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 at conferences, meetups and virtual events to help them navigate these challenging problems.
  • 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

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Oso's recent $8.2M Series A funding round indicates strong investor confidence and provides resources for further innovation.
  • The company's focus on simplifying authorization can significantly reduce development time and costs for clients, making it an attractive solution for software developers.
  • Backed by prominent investors like Felicis, Harpoon, and Sequoia Capital, Oso is well-positioned for growth and market penetration.

What critics are saying

  • The niche focus on authorization may limit market opportunities compared to broader cybersecurity firms.
  • Dependence on subscription fees means that any downturn in client acquisition or retention could impact revenue stability.

What makes Oso Security unique

  • Oso Security focuses exclusively on authorization solutions, unlike broader cybersecurity firms that cover multiple aspects of security.
  • Their platform offers both cloud and on-premises solutions, providing flexibility that many competitors lack.
  • Oso's open-source library allows developers to integrate authorization features easily, setting it apart from proprietary, closed systems.
