Access governance platform enforcing least privilege
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 build customer solutions across the entire stack. You'll talk directly to security and eng teams at Fortune 500s and startups alike, understand their messy reality, and architect systems that actually solve their problems. You'll own the problem, not just the solution, which means you get to be creative, challenge assumptions, and build things that don't exist yet.
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 🙂

Opal.dev provides an access management platform for IT and infrastructure teams to enforce the principle of least privilege. The product automates access requests, delegates approvals to system owners, and offers visualization tools with an end-to-end audit trail for Just-In-Time (JIT) access, helping compliance teams meet regulatory requirements. It can be delivered as a cloud service via subscription, with an option for self-hosting to meet data sovereignty needs. Opal generates revenue by charging for its scalable access management platform and related workflows, and has raised funding to accelerate growth. Compared with competitors, Opal emphasizes a clear audit trail, JIT access, least-privilege enforcement, and flexible deployment (including self-hosting), focusing on security plus productivity. The company’s goal is to help IT and security teams manage access to sensitive systems more securely and efficiently while supporting regulatory compliance and scalable governance.
