What are the responsibilities and job description for the Engineering Manager position at Oso Security, Inc?
Old problem, new $25B market
Companies like AWS, Stripe, and Twilio have shown that if a technology isn't core to your value proposition, you should offload it. Still, every engineering team builds and rebuilds one piece : authorization , how you control who has access to what in your app. We intend to change that.
We see a world where developers never roll their own authorization again, and instead say, "Just use Oso" - the same way you might say, "Oh, you should just use Postgres for that." In doing so, we're creating the $25B authorization market.
Why Oso?
We have the lead - in traction, capital, and team.
- Traction : Oso is used by thousands of companies from startups to the Fortune 500, like Wayfair, Arc, Intercom, Visa, Oxide, Codecademy, Verizon, Productboard, Duolingo, and Jasper.
- Capital : We're the best-capitalized, with 4 years of runway from the world's best investors, including Sequoia, Felicis, and infrastructure entrepreneurs like Olivier Pomel (Founder, Datadog), Dev Ittycheria (CEO, MongoDB), Arman Dadgar (Founder, Hashicorp), Edith Harbaugh (Founder, LaunchDarkly), Guy Podjarny (Founder, Snyk), Paul Copplestone, (Founder, Supabase), Christina Cacioppo (Founder, Vanta), and Calvin French-Owen (Founder, Segment).
- Team : We've spent 5 years going deep on the domain. We've met with thousands of engineering teams and know more about this problem than anyone. And we have two of the best developer go-to-market leaders on earth who have done it before at MongoDB and Snyk.
Why now?
We're at an inflection point. What it takes to get from where we are today to a world where developers say "Just use Oso" is going to be different. And we see that.
The opportunity is for you to join at this inflection point, in a role that's bigger and different than usual.
What you'll do
You have the opportunity to make a career-defining impact while still having the fundamentals of the business de-risked (e.g., market, funding, traction).

Requirements
Benefits

The starting salary for this role is between $175,000-$500,000 / year. Your exact offer will vary based on a number of factors including experience level, skillset, market location, and balancing internal equity relative to peers at the company.
A note on titles :
We could have called this role "VP of Engineering" but chose not to. Our rationale is that titles should be descriptive so that folks internally and externally know who is who and what their scope is. While we expect you to operate at the most senior levels in the company, we also expect that your scope and a simple "Head of" title will speak for itself. For more background, read this blog post.
Oso is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran or disability status.
Salary : $175,000 - $500,000
