Requirements
• 4+ years in cybersecurity, with a focus on SaaS platforms, cloud security, identity systems, or application security. • A track record of original thinking — you've found things other people missed, whether in research, red teaming, bug bounty, or product security work. • Strong understanding of how SaaS platforms (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Okta, or similar) work under the hood: API structures, permission models, authentication flows. • Solid SQL and Python skills — you won't be the one building the pipelines, but you need to be able to query large datasets, write detection logic, and prototype ideas end-to-end without leaning on the data engineers to do it for you. • Ability to communicate complex security concepts clearly to an engineering audience. • Experience with AI/LLM platforms (ChatGPT Enterprise, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, etc.) from a security perspective. • Familiarity with dbt, Clickhouse, or Databricks. • Experience working in a product security or security research function at a security vendor. • Published research, CVEs, conference talks, or bug bounty work demonstrating independent security thinking.
Responsibilities
• Develop deep expertise in how major SaaS and AI platforms are structured, how they handle identity and access, and where security risk concentrates — then translate that into detection and posture logic for our product. • Look across the telemetry we collect and identify novel ways to use it: new signals, new correlations, new approaches to catching misconfigurations or risky behaviour that existing tools miss. • Advise the engineering team on what security controls matter and why — acting as the security compass that helps the team prioritise what to build. • Prototype new detection approaches in SQL and Python to validate ideas before they're productised. • Stay close to the attacker perspective — tracking how threats against SaaS and AI platforms evolve and ensuring our coverage stays ahead of them. • Debug security-related issues in customer environments, bringing both data fluency and security judgment to ambiguous problems.
Benefits
• Work on one of the most forward-looking problems in enterprise security — SaaS and AI platform risk is largely unsolved and growing fast. • Have a direct influence on what Obsidian detects and how — your security insight shapes the product roadmap. • Learn from and contribute to a team that includes some of the people who defined endpoint and identity security. • Ideas move fast here — you'll go from concept to customer impact in weeks, not quarters. • Work for a Silicon Valley-headquartered company without leaving Manchester — your security insights will ship into a product protecting some of the world's largest organisations. • Our competitive benefits packages are designed to support our employees' well-being, both at work and at home. Our US based employees enjoy: • Competitive compensation with equity and 401k • Comprehensive healthcare with dental and vision coverage • Flexible paid time off and paid holiday time off • 12 weeks of new parent or family leave • Personal and professional development resources • For more details on our US benefits, or for information on our international benefits, please see here. • Pay Transparancy • Pay Transparancy • Please note that the base pay range is a guideline and for candidates who receive an offer, the base pay will vary based on factors such as work location, as well as the knowledge, skills and experience of the candidate.
