Recruiting Specialist

Doing business today requires trusting a rapidly expanding set of identities to access, use, and share privileged data in the cloud. This distributed web of data, relationships, and access points is difficult to track, let alone secure. To limit the risk of breach and blast radius, large organizations need to manage who has access to what, what they can do with that access, and when they can take action. That's where Opal Security comes in — our identity security platform enables scalable and efficient implementation of least-privilege access. Customers like Figma, ScaleAI, and Databricks say it is the best tool to administer a least privileged access model across all of their data - SaaS, Cloud and on-prem.

We are seeking an experienced and proactive Recruiting Specialist to join our talent & operations team. In this role, you will have the unique opportunity to execute strategies that ensure Opal attracts and hires top talent across technical and non-technical functions such as engineering, product, GTM, and customer success. You’ll work closely with the hiring managers, and cross-functional leaders to deliver a world-class candidate experience and ensure every hire contributes to our vision of building the future of identity security.

In this role, you’ll be joining an experienced team with direct experience building through massive growth at companies like ScaleAI, Datadog, Airtable, and Amplitude. On the back of this experience and our success to date, we’ve raised over $32M from leading investors including Greylock and Battery Ventures. Join us as we build the next-generation identity security platform!
