About FOSSA
What is FOSSA?
FOSSA is building the world's most complete software supply chain management platform. For a decade, FOSSA has pioneered open source risk management while empowering developers to build with confidence. The mission, in their own words: "Join our mission to make open source ubiquitous, secure, and infinitely more valuable."
The product is a SaaS solution providing real-time license and vulnerability management for open source software. "Modern software relies on open source. FOSSA's platform helps engineering and legal teams build on open source at an industrial scale." The product spans three modules — Scan, Binary, Snippets — and addresses six solution areas: OSS License Compliance, Code Security (SCA/BCA), SBOM Management, AI Coding Guardrails, Due Diligence, and Supplier Risk Management.
FOSSA has been recognised twice by Built In as one of the Top 50 Remote Startups to Work For.
Where will I work?
FOSSA is a remote-first company with strong distributed-team culture (Top 50 Remote Startup, Built In, twice). The legal entity is FOSSA Inc., based in San Francisco. Roles span engineering, product, sales, and customer success — with people across the U.S.
What is the FOSSA team like?
FOSSA publishes three values that define the company culture: We are Open, Inclusive, and Transparent ("We foster a low-ego, team-first environment. We cultivate strong relationships with our customers and each other through integrity and accountability"), We Move Fast and Mean It ("We take initiative, execute quickly, and our actions are purposeful. We go beyond identifying the problems and toward implementing effective solutions"), and We are Committed to Exploration ("As our industry rapidly evolves, we continue to innovate our products and processes, embrace fresh ideas and advancements, and seek new opportunities for growth").
The careers page describes the work environment as "a fast-paced environment that is perfect for ambitious people searching for more autonomy in their career." The team also has fun — there's literally a FOSSA Rap video on the careers page about helping customers manage open source software risks.
