Abstract

OSE's social capital warrants Linux.org-scale contribution volume, yet this potential is almost entirely untapped (.1℅ at most). To address this, OSE is developing its HR towards a professional organizational level, without a budget, based on learnings from the Rare Genomics Institute's HR department. OSE's first step is hiring an HR Generalist, with promotion track to VP of HR. Current stable recruiting goals include an Engineering Team and Documentation Team. We are inviting people to apply for our OSE Developer positions.
