Obsidian Security is the leading SaaS security platform, trusted by global enterprises like Snowflake, T-Mobile, and Algolia. We protect 200+ organizations across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, including many of the world’s largest Fortune 1000 and Global 2000 companies.
Founded in 2017 and backed by top investors like Greylock, Obsidian was built to close a critical gap: securing SaaS apps where business happens—Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and hundreds more. The company does this by offering a complete SaaS security platform to reduce risk, detect and respond to threats, and prevent breaches at the source. Obsidian was built by leaders who redefined endpoint and identity security at CrowdStrike, Okta, Cylance, and Carbon Black. Now, they’re transforming how SaaS is secured.
With AI driving rapid SaaS growth and complexity, agentic AI tools gain privileged access to sensitive data through integrations, creating new risks most security tools miss. Obsidian uniquely detects anomalous OAuth token activity and manages integration risks. Major announcements are on the horizon. Recognizing that SaaS security needs to evolve, Obsidian enables growing organizations to start with a lightweight, prevention-focused browser extension and expand coverage over time.
With global momentum, a growing partner ecosystem including SentinelOne, Databricks, and Google Cloud, and a major fundraise ahead, Obsidian is scaling rapidly toward long-term growth and IPO readiness.
We're hiring a Lead Analytics Engineer to be the senior technical owner of Obsidian's data warehouse and analytics foundation. You will own the DBT project, the warehouse architecture, and the semantic layer that every executive dashboard, GTM workflow, and internal AI agent will rely on. You will also help lead our use of AI in how we build, using modern AI coding tools to ship dbt models, automated workflows, and reporting pipelines at a pace a small team alone could not.
We are looking for a Senior Technical owner to set the bar for mart design, documentation, AI-augmented development, and for how data flows from our systems of record into the reports and workflows that run the business.
You will report directly to the VP of Business Systems, Data & IT. You will partner closely with Product, Sales, CS, Finance, Marketing, and Security, and you will collaborate with teammates across the Business Systems, Data & IT function.
