## Job description

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

## About Opal Security

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Cybersecurity – Identity Security / Access Governance
- **Target customers**: B2B Enterprise (e.g., Databricks, Notion, Cloudflare, Scale AI, CoreWeave, SpaceXAI, Superhuman)
- **Mission or purpose**: “To secure every identity and access path” [opal.dev/about](https://www.opal.dev/about)

## Products & Services
- **Paladin**: AI agent that evaluates every access request, approves safe requests automatically, escalates only what needs a human, and revokes access when no longer needed.
- **OpalScript**: Version-controlled, code-based approval workflows that scale across teams and environments; AI can generate the logic from natural language.
- **OpalQuery**: Query the entire stack in plain English to surface risk, over-provisioned access, separation-of-duties conflicts, and hidden privilege escalation paths.
- **Just-In-Time Access**: Grant privileged access only when needed, auto-revoke when work is done.
- **AI-Guided Access Reviews**: Explainable recommendations that surface the riskiest access, replacing rubber-stamp reviews.
- **Access Intelligence**: Ask who has access to what, and why, in plain English.
- **Security for AI Agents**: Define what AI agents can see, access, and execute before they touch your systems.
- **Programmable Governance**: Build access logic into workflows and approvals as version-controlled, testable code.
- **Platform integrations**: Connects to 250+ systems across cloud, identity, SaaS, databases, and AI platforms (e.g., Okta, AWS, GCP, Snowflake, GitHub, OpenAI, Anthropic, Databricks, ServiceNow, Salesforce).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $59M (latest $23M round announced June 2026); annual revenue not publicly available
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Greylock Partners, Battery Ventures, Box Group, SVCI, Cambium Capital. Advisors include former CTO of JPMorgan Chase, former CSO of Robinhood, CISO of Datadog, CEO of Abnormal Security, CTO of 1Password, CSO of Coinbase, and founder of LDAP.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Named to Notable Capital’s “Rising in Cyber 2026” list (30 most promising private cybersecurity startups).
  - More than 60% of the team has joined since the start of 2026, with hiring accelerating across engineering, product, and go-to-market.
  - Major customers: Databricks runs 86,000 just-in-time access requests through Opal; Mercari governs over 5,000 Okta entitlements via automated reviews.
  - Launched the industry’s first platform to see, encode, and enforce access governance for AI agents (Paladin) in March 2026.

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI-native architecture** that understands CISO context with security engineer precision.
- **Policy-as-code** (OpalScript) enables version-controlled, testable, and scalable access logic.
- **Unified governance** across humans, non-human identities (service accounts, CI/CD pipelines), and AI agents—all in one access graph.
- **Just-in-time by default** reduces standing access and attack surface.
- **Self-hosted or on-prem deployment** option for tightly controlled environments.
- **SOC 2 Type 2 certified**, independent penetration testing annually, TLS 1.2+ in transit, AWS KMS at rest, daily encrypted backups.
- **250+ integrations** with major cloud, identity, SaaS, database, and AI platforms.

## Strategic Focus
- Unify identity governance across all identity types, with a strong emphasis on securing AI agents as they proliferate in enterprise environments.
- Scale the engineering and go-to-market teams (60%+ team growth in 2026).
- Expand leadership: new Chief Product Officer (Sameer Mehta, ex-Veza), Chief Technology Officer (Alex Pien, ex-Meta), VP of Field Engineering (ex-Cisco), VP of Marketing (ex-Clumio), Head of Product & Solutions Marketing (ex-Salesforce).
- Continue to build a self-improving system that ensures resilience and enables faster movement without increasing risk.

## Why Work Here
- **Hybrid work model**: Offices in San Francisco (HQ) and New York; employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work.
- **Fast-growing startup** backed by top-tier VCs (Greylock, Battery Ventures) with significant momentum and market recognition.
- **Mission-driven security work**: Opportunity to solve hard problems in identity security, especially at the intersection of AI and access control.
- **Cutting-edge technology**: Work on AI-native policy engines, large-scale access graphs, and integrations with hundreds of platforms.
- **Strong engineering culture** with leadership from experienced executives (ex-Meta, ex-Veza, ex-Cisco, ex-Palo Alto Networks).
- **Open roles** (as of mid-2026): Software Engineer, Engineering Manager, Product Manager, Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Enterprise Account Executive, Technical Customer Success Manager, Application Security Engineer, and more.
