With strong global traction, an expanding partner ecosystem including SentinelOne, Databricks, and Google Cloud, and a major funding round on the horizon, we are rapidly scaling towards sustainable growth and IPO readiness. Join us in defining the future of SaaS security!

Role Overview

As the SRE Tech Lead at Obsidian, you will play a key role in establishing and building the reliability framework for our complex, multi-tenant SaaS platform that serves enterprise and financial clients. You will collaborate with the DevOps and Platform Engineering leads to drive a cohesive reliability strategy across the organization.

Your primary objective is to ensure that Obsidian identifies every system failure before our customers do and communicates proactively when issues arise.

This hands-on technical leadership position comes with significant ownership and visibility, reporting directly to the CTO.

  • Develop connector health models to classify issues:
    • Internal defects (“our bug”)
    • Upstream SaaS outages
    • Anticipated sparse/low-signal scenarios
  • Establish tiered incident communication:
    • Public signals
    • Current issues and updates
