Foxpass (YCS15) | San Francisco, CA | FULL-TIME | REMOTE | Senior Software Engineer (Backend)

Foxpass, a seed-stage YCombinator (S15) company, is looking for early employees who wish to create software to help companies implement good security practices in their infrastructure. Doing security "the right way" should be easy. Our first product offers SSH key management, LDAP, and RADIUS in the cloud to ensure that engineers and employees use their own accounts to log into servers and wireless networks. Furthermore, we're encouraging companies to make access control API-based, so that access can be given and then rescinded as soon as possible (on-call shift over, JIRA ticket closed, etc.).

We are looking for:

1) A senior back-end engineer who has significant experience with building and operating high-uptime, high-performance systems in the cloud. See https://angel.co/company/foxpass/jobs/79642-senior-software-...

2) Account Executives with SaaS security sales experience

We (Foxpass, https://www.foxpass.com/) are a YCS15 company offering a SaaS (or on-prem) service to handle SSH key management & rotation, plus user and group management.

With our API, some customers are creating dynamic access rules (for example, an on-caller might have 'sudo' during their on-call week, but not at other times).

Like a hosted FreeIPA, but more powerful.

My company Foxpass (YC S15) has a product to manage SSH keys. It serves as access control too -- the keys are only available on the hosts where a user should have access.

https://www.foxpass.com/


We've been using Foxpass for more than a year now and can definitely recommend. We have Amazon Machine Images with the required packages installed and configured; we use the web interface to grant/revoke access to users and add SSH keys. So each user logs in as themselves.

Aren has been awesome with responding to emails and helping us set it up too.


How does it handle sudoers?


I didn't mention it in the original post, but Foxpass also has an LDAP endpoint so it can manage users and groups on your linux machines.

This means you can set up a linux group with sudo capabilities (sudo or wheel, usually) in /etc/sudoers. Then using Foxpass you can manage the membership of that group by adding users on a permanent or temporary basis.


Hey HN -- Foxpass founder here. We built this to make it really simple to set up a VPN in your AWS infrastructure with the best security practices (directory integration and two-factor auth) built right in. Would love your feedback and pull requests! (https://github.com/foxpass/foxpass-ipsec-vpn)


Congrats to the Gravitational team on teleport! LDAP/RADIUS/etc are often useful only for internal employee access. Teleport brings (among other things) a new level of flexibility for secure remote management (say, by a vendor perhaps), so I don't see it as a replacement for the traditional auth protocols.

In terms of making LDAP/RADIUS easier, well, we're a YC company that does just that! Foxpass (S15) https://www.foxpass.com/.


Great tool. Key rotation is so often overlooked but really important.

For anyone who wants to enforce ssh key rotation, consider using our product Foxpass (YC S15), which (effectively) automatically removes keys after a set amount of time (e.g. 90 days).
