Office Assistant

Palo Alto

Obsidian Security was founded in 2017 to solve the unaddressed blindspot of SaaS Security. SaaS applications provide the tools employees need to succeed and hold the business’ most critical information. If those tools become unavailable or that data is jeopardized, there is a detrimental impact on the organization. 

Obsidian proudly offers the industry's most comprehensive and powerful SaaS defense solution. We are committed to solving the challenge of SaaS Security for our customers as efficiently and effectively as possible.

We’re a passionate team optimizing for impact by solving some of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity today. We listen closely to our customers, iterate quickly, and (over) deliver to delight them. Working at Obsidian means contributing to an industry-leading cybersecurity product in an environment where customer satisfaction, privacy, and data ethics are paramount.

We’re looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Office Assistant to help keep our fast-paced startup running smoothly. In this role, you’ll be the heartbeat of the office—making sure the space is welcoming, organized, and fully stocked, while supporting team lunches, events, vendor coordination, and new hire setup. You’ll work closely with HR, IT, and Operations to create a great day-to-day experience for our team and guests alike. If you thrive on being helpful, love creating great vibes, and are always two steps ahead of what’s needed, we’d love to meet you.
