What's It Like to Work at Oso?

Oso Employee Reviews

Over the past 3 years, I've worked on nearly every layer of our stack, from our compiler to our frontend. It's a pleasure to work with such a smart and kind group of people on something so intellectually rewarding.

What People Are Saying About Oso

  • Autonomy: Broad ownership is expected across roles, with individuals taking end-to-end responsibility for challenges and experimenting to deliver results. Day-to-day practices favor outcomes over hours and give engineers direct influence on product decisions through pairing and practical problem-solving.
  • Leadership Communication: The company maintains structured, frequent touchpoints—daily team check-ins, bi-weekly retros, and regular 1:1s with the CEO/CTO—to keep information flowing. Leadership explicitly emphasizes transparency in recruiting and operations.
  • Mission & Purpose: Work centers on building authorization and security controls for applications and AI agents, positioning the team to solve critical developer and enterprise problems. The stated aim to become a standard for authorization conveys a clear, unifying direction.
