Sr Staff Product Manager - Platform

Palo Alto, CA
Founded in 2017, Obsidian Security was created to close a critical gap: securing the SaaS applications where modern business happens—platforms like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and hundreds more. 
 
Backed by top investors including Greylock, Norwest Venture Partners, and IVP, we’ve built a complete SaaS security platform to reduce risk, detect and respond to threats, and prevent breaches at the source. Our team includes leaders who helped define the categories of endpoint and identity security at CrowdStrike, Okta, Cylance, and Carbon Black. 
 
Now, we’re transforming how SaaS is secured—in the era of agentic AI. 
 
Today, Obsidian is trusted by global enterprises like Snowflake, T-Mobile, and Pure Storage. We protect more than 200 organizations across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand—including many of the world’s largest Fortune 1000 and Global 2000 companies.
 
With strong global momentum, a growing partner ecosystem including SentinelOne, Databricks, and Google Cloud, and a major fundraise on the horizon, we’re scaling quickly toward long-term growth and IPO readiness. Join us as we define the future of SaaS security!

Obsidian Security is looking for a Senior Staff Platform Product Manager to lead the strategy and execution of core platform capabilities that power multiple products. You’ll work closely with engineering and the PM team to design, scope and deliver shared services, data foundations, and integration patterns that help product teams ship faster and unlock cross-product value.

This role is technical and hands-on: you’ll drive the platform roadmap, define APIs and contracts, evaluate build vs. buy, and ensure platform components are reliable, scalable, and secure. You’ll also lead OEM and partner integrations that extend the platform.

Examples of what you’ll work with Engineering to build and own

1) Identity Graph (Human + Non-Human Identities)

  • Partner with Engineering to shape the identity model and core services (human + non-human identities, apps, auth artifacts, entitlements, relationships).
  • Turn product needs into platform requirements that power access understanding, SaaS exposure insights, and risk assessment.
  • Work closely with PMs to identify dependencies and manage overlapping delivery timelines
  • Prioritize and validate capabilities like identity resolution/enrichment, relationship mapping, and change tracking for broad product adoption.

2) Workflow Automation (OEM + Integration)

  • Partner with Engineering to evaluate and select an OEM workflow automation engine for remediation.
  • Define requirements for one-click and policy-driven auto-remediation, and drive adoption/rollout.
  • Collaborate with Engineering to ensure a secure, reusable integration and run a structured evaluation.

3) Sensitive Data Context via Integrations (DSPM/DLP)

  • Define platform approach for integrating with DSPM and/or DLP tools.
  • Ingest and normalize signals such as: where sensitive data resides, who has access, and who actually accessed it.
  • Partner with product stakeholders to ensure integrations deliver actionable context for risk scoring and remediation.

4) Aggregated Customer Intelligence Platform

  • Partner with Engineering/Architecture to establish a secure approach for aggregating and analyzing customer signals to generate intelligence that improves our products.
  • Define the product requirements and use cases, plus the governance expectations and success metrics.
  • Work with Engineering to make the outputs usable by product teams through consistent schemas, APIs, reusable datasets, and clear onboarding/documentation.

5) Applying AI to make the platform differentiated

  • Identify high-impact places to apply AI across identity, risk, workflows, and intelligence focused on real customer outcomes.
  • Partner with Eng/Data/ML to define AI features like identity inference, smarter risk prioritization, workflow creation/recommendations, and insights from aggregated signals.
  • Define data needs, success metrics, and guardrails (security, privacy, auditability, reliability) to ship AI responsibly.

Responsibilities

  • Own the platform roadmap for shared components used by multiple product lines; drive alignment across engineering and product stakeholders.
  • Translate complex customer and business problems into platform requirements, services, and APIs.
  • Partner deeply with engineering on architecture, tradeoffs, sequencing, and technical debt management.
  • Lead OEM/vendor selection and integration execution.

Required qualifications

  • 5+ years experience in Product Management, with significant work on platform, security, or data products.
  • Strong technical fluency: able to work effectively with engineering on APIs, data models, access control systems, reporting, event systems, integration patterns, and distributed systems tradeoffs.
  • Experience shipping shared platform components used by multiple teams/products.
  • Confidence and familiarity with the  cybersecurity space.

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience with identity and access concepts: IAM, OAuth/OIDC, SCIM, RBAC/ABAC, service principals/non-human identities, audit logs.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
