Application Security Engineer
Opal · San Francisco, California, USA
Pay
$120k–230k

About Opal Security:
At Opal, we’re building modern identity governance for the AI era—intelligent access management that empowers enterprises to move fast while staying secure. Our mission is to bring clarity, control, and confidence to complex enterprise environments, helping teams govern access without slowing down innovation.
The Role:
Most security engineers spend their careers bolting locks onto doors that were already built. This is not that job.
We're hiring an Application Security Engineer to own security across Opal's product and platform — and yes, own means what it sounds like. You'd be our dedicated security engineer, embedded directly with engineering, writing production code in Go and TypeScript, and building security into the product while it's still being designed. You’ll work closely with a team of engineers that genuinely care about getting this right, and a product that happens to be one of the most security-critical tools in enterprise software.
Oh, and one more thing: Opal is a security company. We sell access control to organizations that take security seriously. That means your work isn't a cost center — it's core to what we do.
This role lives on the Platform team and partners closely with Infrastructure Engineering on cloud security. It is explicitly scoped to application and product security — enterprise IT, compliance, and vendor risk management are handled separately.
What You’ll Do:
Secure Development Lifecycle -
- Own the secure SDLC end-to-end: threat modeling, design reviews, code reviews — you set the bar
- Run and coordinate app pentests (internal and external) and drive findings to closure
- Build and own SAST/DAST/SCA tooling wired into CI/CD so security ships with the code
- Triage and remediate vulnerabilities from every angle — bug bounty, internal scans, the works
Software Security Engineering -
- Build and maintain the security-critical stuff: encryption services, authz enforcement, authn flows
- Own the Auth0 ↔ Opal integration — tokens, sessions, MFA, SSO (SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0)
- Ship production Go and TypeScript to harden APIs, enforce least-privilege, and close vuln classes for good
- Create shared libraries that make the secure path the easy path for every product engineer
Incident Response & Cloud Security -
- Be first on the scene for security incidents: investigate, contain, find the root cause, fix it
- Partner with Infra on cloud hardening — AWS IAM, EKS, KMS, network segmentation
- Level up detection and response by writing detection rules and improving logging and alerting
Security Culture -
- Mentor engineers on secure coding, common vuln patterns, and security architecture — you make the org smarter
- Help set the security roadmap by grounding it in real product risk
- Be the security teammate engineers want to work with — a collaborator, not a bottleneck
You Might Be a Fit If You:
- Have 4+ years in application security or software security engineering
- Actually write production code — findings reports are the floor, not the ceiling
- Know auth cold: OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, session management, token lifecycle
- Are comfortable in AWS and containerized environments (Kubernetes, Docker)
- Bonus points for familiarity with our stack: Go, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, Redis, GraphQL
- Have led complex, cross-functional security initiatives from kickoff to completion
- Have run or participated in external pentests and seen findings through remediation
- Thrive on ownership and ambiguity — you'd rather write the playbook than wait for one

Forward Deployed Engineer
Opal · San Francisco, California, USA

About Opal Security:
At Opal, we’re building modern identity governance for the AI era—intelligent access management that empowers enterprises to move fast while staying secure. Our mission is to bring clarity, control, and confidence to complex enterprise environments, helping teams govern access without slowing down innovation.
About the Role:
Identity is having a moment. Every company is deploying agents, spinning up service accounts, and realizing their IAM stack can't keep up. We're building AI-native security that scales with this chaos and companies like Databricks and Figma are betting on us to get it right.
You will be the technical bridge between Opal and our customers. You'll embed with prospects and customers during critical moments; sales cycles, implementations, expansions, and build whatever it takes to get them across the finish line. That might mean prototyping a custom integration, architecting their deployment, debugging their environment, or writing code that becomes part of our product. You'll own the technical relationship, which means you get to be creative, challenge assumptions, and build trust through deep expertise.
Please note: We've built a team that works exceptionally well together and has fun doing so. We're looking to bring on new teammates who will both add to and grow with what we're building 🙂
Your Responsibilities:
- Lead technical conversations in sales cycles, design solutions that map to customer needs, and remove technical blockers that stand between interest and contract.
- Write code for customer-specific integrations, proof-of-concepts, and implementations. Some of this becomes productized, some stays one-off.
- Contribute your best ideas to the Opal product, scale your solutions for all customers, and leverage your experience in the field to contribute to Opal's product roadmap.
- Drive implementations from kickoff to production, troubleshoot issues in customer environments, and ensure technical stakeholders become champions of Opal.
- Surface patterns from customer conversations that should influence roadmap, document what you learn, and help engineering prioritize what matters most to revenue.
Our Ideal Candidate Loves to:
- You genuinely enjoy being in rooms (virtual or physical) with customers. You ask good questions, listen well, and can read the room to know when to go deep vs. stay high-level.
- You can write production-quality code across the stack, but you also know when duct tape is the right answer. You optimize for unblocking the customer, not architectural purity.
- No two weeks look the same. You might be debugging a Terraform module on Monday, demoing to a CISO on Tuesday, and building a Slack integration on Wednesday.
- You don't need a manager to tell you what to do. You hear a customer problem, figure out what would solve it, and make it happen.
- You can translate "we need to prove ROI to the board" into technical requirements, and explain "we need to refactor our RBAC engine" in terms a VP of Sales understands.
BENEFITS & PERKS
- Competitive Salary
- Early employee equity
- Top-tier Medical, Vision, & Dental coverage
- Company and team bonding trips throughout the year fully covered by Opal Security
- Daily lunch & coffee allowance
- Unlimited PTO
- 11 company holidays
- One Medical Membership
- 401k plan
- Pre-Tax Commuter Benefits
This role is based in San Francisco.
Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds rarely apply unless they meet all the job criteria. We aren’t looking for someone who ticks every single box on a page; we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences. If you think you’d be a great fit, then please get in touch to tell us about yourself. Opal is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.

About Opal Security:
At Opal, we’re building modern identity governance for the AI era—intelligent access management that empowers enterprises to move fast while staying secure. Our mission is to bring clarity, control, and confidence to complex enterprise environments, helping teams govern access without slowing down innovation.
The Role:
Most people seek that 0-1 build experience but the 1-n is a much bigger challenge and we need you to get us to n. We have a team of awesome engineers, we have a product that sells itself, and we are now looking to add an engineering leader to make sure we continue to thread the needle between delivering value, scaling up, and growing our engineers.
What You’ll Do:
- This role is all about balancing: balancing priorities, finding the right balance between structure and speed, knowing when to apply a short-term fix versus something more durable, and balancing those unique engineers personalities
- This role is all about saying yes: yes to speed, yes to crazy ideas, yes to team bonding, yes to coding one day and helping your IC through heartbreak the next day
- This role is also all about saying no: our engineers need to be (appropriately) insulated from the never-ending requests
You Might Be a Fit If You:
- You're technical enough to understand the trade-offs of building a scalable platform
- You’re an excellent engineer that quickly gains the confidence and technical trust from those around them
- You know your team's strengths and how to deploy them against the right problems
- You understand that different people need different things to be effective, and you're good at translating organizational noise into useful signal
- You actively contribute to company culture

You'll own the problem, not just the solution, which means you get to be creative, challenge assumptions, and build things that don't exist yet.
This is a team of people who genuinely like each other and want to work together. We value thoughtful engineering over speed-running tickets. You'll collaborate with people who have wildly different expertise, debate tradeoffs, and ship work you're proud of.
Please note: We've built a team that works exceptionally well together and has fun doing so. We're looking to bring on new teammates who will both add to and grow with what we're building 🙂
Your Responsibilities:
- Own critical product areas from concept to production: design and build features across our full stack, make architectural decisions, work directly with customers to validate solutions, and ensure your systems scale as we grow.
- Multiply the team's impact: write code that other engineers build on top of, establish patterns that improve our velocity, share knowledge that levels up the team, and help shape how we build at Opal.
Our Ideal Candidate Loves to:
- Build end-to-end: you can take a customer problem, design the solution, and ship it across frontend and backend.
- Think creatively: you're not a code monkey or a bot following specs. You question requirements, propose better approaches, and care about the "why" behind what you're building.
- Thrive in undefined spaces: you get energized by ambiguous problems where there's no playbook. You'd rather figure out what to build than be handed a detailed spec.
- Talk to customers: you want to understand who you're building for, what they need, and how Opal enables their growth and success
- Explore a passion or curiosity in IAM / security
