Job Location : New York,NY, USA
Doing business today requires trusting a rapidly expanding set of identities to access, use, and share privileged data in the cloud. This distributed web of data, relationships, and access points is difficult to track, let alone secure. To limit the risk of breach and blast radius, large organizations need to manage who has access to what, what they can do with that access, and when they can take action. That's where Opal Security comes in - our identity security platform enables scalable and efficient implementation of least-privilege access. Customers like Figma, ScaleAI, and Databricks say it is the best tool to administer a least privileged access model across all of their data - SaaS, Cloud, and on-prem.
As a Support Engineer, you'll be joining a go to market team with direct experience growing the business at companies like Auth0, Aqua, Sailpoint, Okta, and Laceworks. On the back of this experience and our success to date, we've raised over $32M from leading investors, including Greylock and Battery Ventures. Join us as we build the next-generation identity security platform.
