Careers
Obsidian is for engineers who value depth, precision, and intellectual honesty, and who want responsibility for what they ship. We hire people who go deep, and trust them with hard problems.
How we work
Our process emphasizes careful scoping, short execution cycles, and proactive risk communication, with a strict line on AI tooling: the engineer using the tool owns the result.
Everyone owns their piece of the work completely, and looks out for the people working alongside them. We don't pass the buck or quietly absorb each other's jobs: the more clearly each person owns their part, the more the team accomplishes.
We work to understand each problem, its constraints, and our solution deeply, and to make the gaps explicit. Treating symptoms instead of root causes can feel sufficient under pressure, but it creates more problems than it solves.
We raise risks and problems early and directly, even when it's uncomfortable. A risk surfaced while it can still be managed is worth far more than one discovered too late.
Clients bring us problems that have never been solved before. We get moving on them, inventing the answer one concrete step at a time, rather than waiting for a certainty that isn't coming.
