Job Description

About Us:

Obsidian Security was founded in 2017 to solve the unaddressed blindspot of SaaS Security. SaaS applications provide the tools employees need to succeed and hold the business' most critical information. If those tools become unavailable or that data is jeopardized, there is a detrimental impact on the organization.

Obsidian proudly offers the industry's most comprehensive and powerful SaaS defense solution. We are committed to solving the challenge of SaaS Security for our customers as efficiently and effectively as possible.

We're a passionate team optimizing for impact by solving some of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity today.

  • Implement and maintain databases in Postgres, ensuring data integrity and performance.
  • Utilize Dagster for workflow orchestration, ensuring efficient and reliable execution of data pipelines.
  • Develop and maintain APIs using FastAPI, focusing on performance and ease of use.
  • Contribute to DevOps practices, including automation, containerization, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, to improve deployment efficiency and reliability.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, with a proven track record of leading large-scale projects to success.

  • Contributions to open-source projects or public GitHub repositories.
  • Experience in a startup environment, with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced and dynamic setting.
