Obsidian Security delivers complete SaaS security—gain control, stop threats, and ensure compliance across all your business apps. Backed by Greylock, Norwest and GV.
About the role
AI is the fastest-moving attack surface in the enterprise. Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, Gemini, Claude, and a wave of agentic tools are being wired into corporate SaaS faster than security teams can keep up — with broad OAuth scopes, opaque data flows, and non-human identities acting on behalf of employees. Obsidian sits directly in the path of this shift.
What they're looking for
- 1–3 years of software engineering experience shipping and owning production backend systems, with proficiency in a modern language (Python, Go, or similar)
- Experience with — AWS/GCP, containers, CI/CD, observability, and production ownership
- Hands-on experience with LLM APIs and agentic patterns (tool/function calling, MCP, agent frameworks), or a demonstrated ability to ramp up fast
- Hands-on experience with a modern data stack (dbt, and a columnar warehouse or query engine such as ClickHouse, Snowflake, BigQuery, or Databricks)
- Clear communicator across engineers, PMs, and customer security teams
- Comfortable operating with ambiguity in a fast-moving problem space
