FOSSA is hiring a Senior Software Engineer (Analysis) to scale its SaaS platform that automates license compliance, vulnerability prioritization, SBOM generation, and regulatory workflows. This remote, distributed role offers ownership from ideation to production, a direct line to the roadmap, and the chance to impact revenue while collaborating across time zones. You’ll work with Rust, Go, Typescript and Haskell, own features end to end, and contribute to architecture, observability, and on call readiness. Ideal candidates have 3+ years backend experience, strong SQL, SaaS experience, and a growth mindset; experience with AI coding tools is a plus. To apply, tailor your resume to show measurable product impact, cross functional collaboration, leadership, and a prototype driven approach; provide links to code or projects and demonstrate remote collaboration. The annual CAD 120k-200k range plus equity and unlimited PTO reflects the market and the company’s Best Start-up to work for 2024, 2025 and 2026 recognition.

Modern software runs on open source — and managing the compliance, security, and regulatory complexity that comes with it is one of the biggest problems facing engineering and legal teams today. FOSSA is the platform they use to address these challenges. We help thousands of organizations automate license compliance, prioritize vulnerabilities, generate and operationalize SBOMs, and meet regulatory requirements. Whether it's scanning AI-generated code for IP risks or helping a company through M&A due diligence, FOSSA gives teams the confidence to ship software they trust. 

FOSSA is a rapidly growing series-B company with a truly distributed team. While our roots are in San Francisco, our growing team has members in several countries across many time zones. We’re always working to find the perfect balance of effective approaches to distributed work, while maintaining the direct personal connections that help us work better together and love our jobs.

As a senior software engineer on our team, you'll be working closely with the whole company to bring features from ideation to implementation. Your participation will have a significant impact on our company roadmap, and you'll be able to see the outsized impact that your work has on our revenue. Your day-to-day will be largely determined by what you want to work on: in a team of our size, our engineering team also helps own our product, customer success, and growth functions.

In this role you will:

  • Work closely with the whole company to plan, design, build, and refine core product features.
  • Own user-impacting features from conception to completion.
  • Have significant ownership in our technical architecture and product roadmap.
  • Work in a variety of languages including Rust, Go, Typescript, and Haskell.

About you:

  • Experience building and supporting scalable SaaS products and features.
  • Experience as a full-stack software engineer owning and building features end-to-end.
  • Experience with relational databases and writing performant SQL queries.
  • Ability to break down complex problems, drive towards a solution, and communicate it with the team and other stakeholders (both verbally and written).
  • Experience with AI coding tools in production environments.
  • You thrive in an environment that prefers prototypes over proposals.
  • Proactive in sharing ideas and informed opinions with others
  • Attention to detail and quality to anticipate edge cases ahead of time
  • A growth mindset and willingness to learn new things
  • You have 3+ years of experience working as a backend engineer.
  • Willingness to take part in an on-call rotation.
  • Ability to mentor and be mentored by others.
  • Experience with observability tooling

Why you'll love working at FOSSA:

  • Amazing team culture and environment
  • Named by Built In as Best Start-up to work for 2024, 2025 and 2026
  • Competitive salary and equity package
  • Unlimited PTO
