Effortlessly comply with open source licenses
FOSSA provides the technology to help organizations understand what’s in their code and automate license tracking/compliance without slowing development. Replacing manual systems, FOSSA automatically scans code to analyze license data, generates disclosures/attribution and surfaces issues all on a continuous basis. This allows companies to automate compliance in the background, letting developers write software safely, quickly and in real-time without introducing layers of people and process.
FOSSA is solving urgent and deeply technical problems around open source. Our mission is to make open source ubiquitous, risk-free, and exponentially more valuable. With FOSSA, engineering teams identify, control, and remediate compliance and security risk across their open source software supply chain.
We recently raised our Series B and are expanding our team to address the next wave of challenges companies face in their open source. We are looking for driven people ready to take ownership of projects that deliver real impact. Join us in building the world's most complete open source management platform.
Our team is human. We recognize that even the best people make mistakes, and we deliberately foster a culture of psychological safety. We act in good faith, and we trust that our teammates act in good faith. We are open, transparent, and honest about all things. Internally, we talk openly about our financials, the state of our business, and our business and engineering decisions. We collaborate closely on hard engineering tasks. When we make mistakes or miss estimates, we own up to our actions and work together to become better engineers and teammates. We improve our team rather than blaming our team members.
Our team is scrappy. We don't let perfect be the enemy of done. We focus on iterating with customer feedback rather than getting everything right the first time. We prefer prototypes over speculation. We experiment with engineering and product strategies to help us build the best possible product. We experiment with our culture and processes to help us move as quickly and efficiently as we can.
Our team is deliberate. We use data and metrics to focus our engineering efforts on the areas of greatest impact. We make well thought-out trade-offs between delivery time, technical debt, and risk. We think hard about when to be customer-driven and when to follow our roadmap. We optimize for engineering impact on revenue. We build our engineering culture intentionally to help us meet these goals.
Engineers have a lot of autonomy. Many product decisions are engineering-driven. Day-to-day work generally involves resolving time-sensitive strategic customer requests, and then focusing on product and infrastructure work. Generally, interrupt-ish work (e.g. customer requests) doesn't take more than a couple hours per sprint.
