Security & Compliance Lead
Opal · San Francisco, California, USA
Pay
$120k–200k
Setting
On-site
About Opal Security:
The best security and engineering teams use Opal Security, the AI-native access platform, for real-time visibility, policy-as-code, and control over every identity, from employees to service accounts to AI agents. Companies like Databricks, Notion, CoreWeave, and Superhuman rely on Opal. Based in San Francisco, we've raised $59M from Greylock, Battery Ventures, and SVCI, and were named to Notable Capital's Rising in Cyber 2026 list by 150 leading CISOs. Our leadership brings deep security pedigree: CEO Howard Ting (previously CEO of Cyberhaven, CMO at Nutanix), CPO Sameer Mehta (Veza, Citrix), and CTO Alex Pien (Meta), among others who've built category-defining products.
THE ROLE
We're hiring a Security Manager to own Opal's internal security program. This person will be responsible for our security operations, compliance posture, vendor risk, incident response, and security tooling.
This is a hands-on, security-first role for someone who can operate independently, work well with external partners, and keep a fast-moving startup secure without slowing it down. You'll manage our security vendor and partner closely with engineering, operations, and leadership. You'll also oversee IT operations through our managed service provider (MSP), making sure onboarding/offboarding, devices, access, and office infrastructure meet our security and compliance needs.
This is not primarily an AppSec role. Product security and AppSec will remain closely partnered with Engineering, though this person will help coordinate security intake, bug bounty operations, vulnerability management, and remediation tracking.
We are building Opal together, in person. This role is 3+ days in office in downtown San Francisco.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
SECURITY OPERATIONS
- Own Opal's internal security program across people, systems, devices, vendors, and office environments
- Manage security tooling for endpoint protection, SSO, MFA, access reviews, logging, monitoring, and alerting
- Lead security incident response, including triage, investigation, remediation, communications, and follow-up
- Run internal access reviews and improve least-privilege practices across company systems
- Manage physical and digital access controls for the office and internal tools
COMPLIANCE & RISK
- Drive SOC 2 compliance work, including control ownership, evidence collection, audit readiness, and auditor coordination
- Maintain security policies, procedures, exceptions, control documentation, and audit evidence
- Track security risks and drive practical remediation based on business impact
- Help turn security and compliance requirements into repeatable operating processes
VENDOR SECURITY & VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT
- Own vendor security reviews as part of Opal's procurement process
- Manage ongoing third-party risk, including review cycles, evidence collection, and remediation follow-up
- Manage Opal's security vendor: set priorities, review deliverables, escalate issues, and hold them accountable
- Own bug bounty / vulnerability disclosure program operations, including intake, triage coordination, SLA tracking, and reporting
- Coordinate vulnerability remediation across security vendors, engineering, legal, and business stakeholders
IT OVERSIGHT VIA MSP
- Manage Opal's IT MSP relationship and ensure IT execution supports security and compliance requirements
- Coordinate secure onboarding/offboarding across accounts, hardware, access, and device posture
- Hold the MSP accountable for device management, helpdesk, network support, and office infrastructure
- Oversee office network and A/V decisions, including UniFi networking with VLAN segmentation
- Evaluate whether MSP scope needs to change as Opal grows
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 5+ years of experience in security operations, GRC, IT security, or a similar security-focused role
- Experience owning or materially driving a company security program
- Strong familiarity with SOC 2; FedRAMP, ISO 27001, or similar frameworks are a plus
- Experience with incident response, endpoint security, access reviews, logging/monitoring, and remediation tracking
- Strong understanding of identity and access concepts: SSO, MFA, least privilege, access reviews, and joiner/mover/leaver processes
- Experience managing security vendors, consultants, auditors, or other external partners
- Comfort managing IT operations through an MSP or similar external provider
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to operate independently, prioritize risk, and drive cross-functional follow-through in a startup environment
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience at a security, identity, or access management company
- Experience running or coordinating bug bounty / vulnerability disclosure programs
- Security certifications such as Security+, CISSP, CISM, or similar
- Experience building or maturing a security program from an early stage

Product Marketing & Content Associate
Opal · San Francisco, California, USA
Pay

About Opal Security:
The best security and engineering teams use Opal Security, the AI-native access platform, for real-time visibility, policy-as-code, and control over every identity, from employees to service accounts to AI agents. Companies like Databricks, Notion, CoreWeave, and Superhuman rely on Opal. Based in San Francisco, we've raised $59M from Greylock, Battery Ventures, and SVCI, and were named to Notable Capital's Rising in Cyber 2026 list by 150 leading CISOs. Our leadership brings deep security pedigree: CEO Howard Ting (previously CEO of Cyberhaven, CMO at Nutanix), CPO Sameer Mehta (Veza, Citrix), and CTO Alex Pien (Meta), among others who've built category-defining products.
The Role:
Governing who can access what, and revoking it the moment it's no longer needed, is one of the hardest problems in enterprise security, and it starts with people. Now AI agents are entering the same systems at machine speed, inheriting the same over-scoped access, and the problem is compounding fast. Opal is the control plane for all of it, and telling that story is what this role is about. We're hiring a Product Marketing & Content Associate to amplify Opal’s voice, using AI and automation to give one person the reach of a much larger team. About two-thirds is content and channels you'll own outright; the rest supports senior functions like PR, analyst relations, and sales enablement. You'll report into the Head of Product & Solutions Marketing, and the ideal candidate is a strong writer who is fluent with AI tools.
- Build the AI-powered content engine, including automations and workflows
- Own Opal's social presence end to end: daily posts, real-time engagement, and inventive campaigns (polls, bracket-style games) that make a technical category feel alive
- Create short-form video for LinkedIn, X, and YouTube, product clips, C-suite cuts, event moments, with a creator's instinct for hooks and platform-native formats
- Translate what's new into stories, turning product updates and launches into blogs, posts, and screen recording walkthroughs alongside PM and Engineering
- Shape thought leadership with our marketing leadership and C-suite, ghostwriting and producing the ideas that position Opal at the front of a new category
- Run the monthly newsletter start to finish, plus web updates and copy, including SEO/AEO
- Drive integration and partnership announcements, webinar and CTA promotion, and event recaps
- Support PR: contributed articles (about one per month) and pitches for launches and news moments
- Support customer story capture (video and written) and analyst relations outreach and management
- Help manage our podcast, newsletter sponsorships, and influencer relationships
- Lead one-pagers, click-through demos, and other sales plays (including competitive), and support the first-call deck
FYI - we are building Opal together, in person. This role is 3+ days in office in downtown San Francisco :)
You Might Be a Fit If You:
- Are a genuinely strong writer who can adapt voice: yours and the brand's
- Can create short-form video that earns attention, comfortable on camera or behind it, with instinct for what works on each platform
- Have real AI fluency: you use AI tools daily and reach for automation rather than grinding through things manually
- Are comfortable with an always-on pace and concurrent deliverable
Tools We Use:
We're always adding to this as new AI-native tools prove themselves. Fluency with the category matters more than any one name below.
- Design and demos: Figma, Arcade, Framer
- Screen recording and video: Screen Studio, Descript, CapCut
- AI and automation: Claude, Claude Code, Perplexity
- Meetings and content ops: Granola, Notion
- Video and podcast editing: Descript

Product Manager

$135k–220k

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:
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, Cloudflare, and Figma are betting on us to get it right.
You will own Opal's product direction and execution as our sole product manager. You'll work directly with security and engineering teams at Fortune 500s and startups alike, understand their messy reality, and determine our position as a leader in IAM. You’ll report directly into our CPO and work hand in hand with our engineering team.
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 product strategy from insight to execution. Own what we build and where we expand, work directly with customers to validate direction, partner with engineering on technical strategy, and ensure our roadmap positions us to win in IAM.
- Architect our platform to unify human and non-human identity governance across hybrid environments by making sense of on-prem AD, cloud IAM, SaaS apps, and AI agents.
- Lead our evolution from fast and flexible to enterprise-grade at scale without losing what developers love about us.
- Drive category creation and position Opal as the authorization intelligence layer, not just another point solution in a crowded IAM landscape.
- Define the future for Opal and for Identity
Our Ideal Candidate Loves to:
- Think strategically: you can look at market dynamics, customer feedback, and technical constraints to determine the right direction forward.
- Build platforms, not just features: you understand API strategy, developer experience, and how to create extensible systems that others build on.
- Thrive in undefined spaces: you get energized by ambiguous problems where there's no playbook. You'd rather figure out what to build than refine an existing roadmap.
- Work across the stack: you're comfortable talking technical architecture with engineers, doing the boring admin work, and owning business outcomes with customers.
- Most importantly - shape a category: you're excited about defining what AI-native IAM means and building the product that becomes the standard.
What You Bring:
- 6+ years in product management, owning a highly technical product or solution in the security space
- Track record building 1-to-n products and scaling them
- Ability to drive high performant engineering output
- Either a degree in computer science or you categorize yourself as a pseudo/honorary engineer

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.

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.

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.

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.

- 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
