Sample interview questions
How would you structure a technical discovery call with a prospect evaluating a SaaS security platform?

I would first identify the business drivers, critical SaaS applications, identity model, current controls, and specific risks the customer wants to reduce. I would then map stakeholders, success criteria, integration requirements, and decision timelines before aligning Obsidian capabilities to measurable outcomes.

Describe how you would run a proof-of-value engagement for a security buyer.

I would agree on scope, success metrics, data access, owners, and a timeline before deployment. During the engagement, I would validate integrations, demonstrate prioritized detections and least-privilege findings, document results against the agreed criteria, and present a clear technical and business-value summary.

How do APIs and middleware affect a SaaS security implementation?

APIs enable the platform to collect configuration, identity, activity, and integration data from SaaS applications. Middleware and identity integrations must be assessed for authentication, permissions, data flow, reliability, and least-privilege access so the deployment is secure and produces meaningful coverage.

How would you respond when a prospect says its existing security stack already covers SaaS risk?

I would acknowledge the existing investment and explore its current coverage, blind spots, and operational workflows. I would then position Obsidian based on differentiated visibility into human and non-human identities, SaaS integrations, identity-driven threats, and actionable governance, using evidence from the prospect's environment where possible.

How do you communicate a complex security finding to both technical and executive stakeholders?

For technical stakeholders, I explain the attack path, affected identities or applications, evidence, severity, and remediation steps. For executives, I focus on business exposure, likelihood, affected critical services, risk reduction options, and the expected operational impact of remediation.

Opportunity details

About this role.

Obsidian Security is a global leader in cyber security protecting the SaaS and non-human identity layer modern enterprises run on — from Salesforce and Snowflake to the AI agents now deployed inside them. The Obsidian Security platform gives unified visibility into every human and machine identity, app, and integration across their SaaS estate, detects identity-based and supply chain attacks in real time, and enforces least-privilege access before it’s exploited. Trusted by major Fortune 500 companies T-Mobile, Workday, Snowflake, and S&P Global, Obsidian ranked No. 95 on the 2025 Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, growing nearly 1000% from 2021–2024 — helping CISOs turn an unmonitored attack surface into one they can govern with confidence. Obsidian has also been recognized by Forbes as America’s Best Startup Employers in 2026.

In August 2026, Obsidian raised $85 million in Series D financing led by Crescent Cove Advisors, with participation from existing investors including Greylock Partners, Menlo Ventures, Norwest Venture Partners, IVP, Wing Ventures, and GV — pushing Obsidian’s valuation to $1.1 billion, crossing into unicorn status. Obsidian is using the funding to deepen its R&D in agentic AI security and extend its platform as the standard for governing what AI agents can access and do inside third-party applications.

With global momentum, a growing partner ecosystem including SentinelOne, Databricks, and Google Cloud, and fresh capital from its Series D behind it, Obsidian is scaling rapidly toward long-term growth and IPO readiness.
