**This is an in office role and requires you to be in our London office 3 days a week**

Software is at the very core of our lives and our world. From how we bank, shop, socialize and now even how we work.

In 2021, 1.5 trillion open source components will be downloaded and not every component is secure. At Sonatype, we make sure those open source components are safe to help companies build safer software - fast. Every company in the world builds software this way - the opportunity is huge.
