About Opal Security

Opal is the access control plane for every identity. Our AI understands the CISO. Backed by Battery and Greylock.

About the role

Identity is having a moment. Every company is deploying agents, spinning up service accounts, and realizing their IAM stack can't keep up. We're building AI-native security that scales with this chaos and companies like Databricks and Figma are betting on us to get it right.

What they're looking for

  • Familiarity with our tech stack: Kubernetes, Golang, Postgres, Redis, Terraform, GraphQL, TypeScript, and React
  • Experience with cloud providers (e.g., AWS / GCP) and scaling cloud infrastructure
  • Has 4+ years experience as a full-time software engineer or equivalent experience building large distributed systems
  • Thrives in ambiguous environments with significant ownership and with the opportunity to make decisions that have a huge impact on the business

Our mission is to bring clarity, control, and confidence to complex enterprise environments, helping teams govern access without slowing down innovation.

You will build customer solutions across the entire stack. You'll talk directly to security and eng teams at Fortune 500s and startups alike, understand their messy reality, and architect systems that actually solve their problems. You'll own the problem , not just the solution, which means you get to be creative, challenge assumptions, and build things that don't exist yet.

Please note: We've built a team that works exceptionally well together and has fun doing so. We're looking to bring on new teammates who will both add to and grow with what we're building 🙂

Ensure the stability, security, scalability,...
