The world runs on open source, and projects need more than a version or source control system to scale. The Linux Foundation has evolved a proven methodology to transform projects into category leaders. LFX operationalizes this approach, providing a suite of tools built to facilitate every aspect of open source development. Critical projects must have their finger on the pulse of their entire developer ecosystem, with tools tailored to key stakeholders driving project development, including maintainers, contributors, community managers, marketers, and more.

We have an exciting opportunity for Sr. Product Manager to join our LFX platform team. Open source powers more than 80% of the technology we all use every day, yet many open source developers and projects face barriers, from generating funding to improving security to growing diverse, sustainable communities. LFX is a platform created by the Linux Foundation to empower developers — and the individuals and organizations who support them to advance sustainability, security, and diversity in open source technology. LFX brings together maintainers, contributors, aspiring developers, and enterprises to help solve these critical challenges and drive innovation.
