About the Role

Founded in 2017, Obsidian Security was created to close a critical gap: securing the SaaS applications where modern business happens—platforms like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and hundreds more. Backed by top investors including Greylock, Norwest Venture Partners, and IVP, we've built a complete SaaS security platform to reduce risk, detect and respond to threats, and prevent breaches at the source. Our team includes leaders who helped define the categories of endpoint and identity security at CrowdStrike, Okta, Cylance, and Carbon Black. Now, we're transforming how SaaS is secured—in the era of agentic AI. Today, Obsidian is trusted by global enterprises like Snowflake, T-Mobile, and Pure Storage, protecting over 200 organizations worldwide. We are scaling quickly toward long-term growth and IPO readiness, offering an exciting environment for innovative security solutions.
