SaaS security platform protecting against threats, insider risks, and data exposure
Obsidian Security builds threat detection and response tools for SaaS environments, with a tech stack spanning Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Databricks for real-time visibility and automated threat intelligence. The company is shifting hiring velocity upward—63 open roles with 30 posted in the last 30 days—driven primarily by sales expansion (32 roles) rather than engineering, indicating a sales-led scaling phase as they build out channel partnerships and pursue new customer logos at Series funding stage.
Obsidian Security provides a comprehensive security platform designed to protect business-critical SaaS applications against external threats, insider risks, and data exfiltration. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Newport Beach, California, the company operates across threat detection, incident response, and automated threat intelligence. The product connects to SaaS environments (Office 365, Salesforce, and others) to monitor user behavior, detect anomalies, and coordinate response workflows. The team is building out go-to-market infrastructure around partner channels, particularly in EMEA, while scaling internal detection capabilities and backend processing systems to support larger deployments.
Obsidian uses Kafka, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, and Databricks for data streaming and analysis; Snowflake and BigQuery for warehousing; Kubernetes and Terraform for infrastructure; Python, Go, and Scala for application code; and SentinelOne, GCP, and AWS for security and cloud services.
Obsidian Security is headquartered in Newport Beach, California, and is currently hiring in the United States and United Kingdom.
