Careers at LightSource
Join us to make the supply chain transparent and fair for everyone.
Our Core Values
We believe that procurement is the strategic cornerstone of every visionary enterprise shaping tomorrow's world. Yet for too long, this critical function has languished in obscurity—trapped in endless email labyrinths, entombed in static spreadsheets, and fractured across disconnected systems. This fragmented reality doesn't just breed inefficiency—it fosters distrust and creates battlegrounds between essential teams like engineering and procurement, leaving transformative value permanently untapped.
We categorically reject operating in darkness. Our vision is to become the Operating System for global procurement and sourcing, using AI and other technologies to streamline manual processes. We envision a world where AI-powered transparency illuminates every facet of the supply chain. This forges seamless connections between teams, unveils actionable insights, and metamorphoses supplier relationships from adversarial negotiations into strategic alliances built on true collaboration and mutual success.
LightSource is the definitive operating system purpose-built for this enlightened future—systematically dismantling organizational silos to empower teams toward unprecedented efficiency and synergy.

Our story
The idea for LightSource was born from a frustrating truth: even in a highly innovative environment like Tesla, direct materials sourcing was still a chaotic, manual process. Our co-founder, Spencer Penn, faced this firsthand while working on the Model 3, navigating endless email threads and scattered spreadsheets. The insight was clear: procurement teams managing the most critical spend still relied on outdated methods. So, we set out to build the solution.
We are building an AI-native sourcing platform purpose-built for large-scale manufacturing procurement. We've created a modern solution that delivers true digital transformation, and we're just getting started.
