Job Description
<h1>Old problem, new $25B+ market</h1><p style="min-height:1.5em">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: <strong>authorization</strong>, how you control who has access to what in your app. We intend to change that.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">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."
