The Opportunity

In a cloud software world, where who you are and what you have access to determines the risk associated with your accounts being compromised, Abnormal Security aims to build a comprehensive tool to understand the employees of our customers, and aid security professionals in assessing the risks and threats impacting their employee base. Help us build a new layer of protection that will give enterprises the same level of security for their cloud offerings as Abnormal Security’s industry leading products do in the email security space.

We’re looking to add a Full-Stack Engineer to our team of world class engineers. The individual in this role will shape and elevate our Knowledge Base team while working closely with our customers–internal and external alike. This role straddles the line of velocity and excellence.

As a Full-Stack Engineer of the Knowledge Base team, you will:

• Own and develop data-rich, consumer-grade, user interfaces and APIs showcasing the breadth of Abnormal’s knowledge, compiled from many different sources, about a user’s normal patterns as well as those which might indicate something abnormal is going on.
• Build the user interface that allows customers and internal agents to debug particular attacks
• Build a framework and specification for quickly adding new data sources.
• Obsessively partner with our customers to gather their feedback and quickly iterate to improve our systems - example - help resolve False Positive/False Negative or integration issues.
• Create a magical work environment with colleagues and memorable interview process for candidates

This is a full stack role: expect to move from tasks such as coding the Knowledge Bases UI one day, while spending the next working with the underlying data model. This is a unique opportunity in which engineers from various backgrounds could thrive. Here are just a few examples of profiles we think could be excellent:

• A full stack engineer who has worked at scale and enjoys building products from the ground up
• A customer-focused engineer who loves the idea of getting directly involved with our users to hear what’s working and what isn’t
• A full-stack generalist who has spent time building pieces of something, but who wants more ownership designing a system from end-to-end

Requirements:

• Strong Computer Science fundamentals
• We prefer candidates who have at least 3 years of experience building & operating scalable web applications with modern frontend frameworks

There are a lot of opportunities for growth and career advancement–it’s up to you own your career here. Some potential career paths for this role include:

• Continuing to grow into a senior, staff, and/or tech lead individual contributor role
• Moving from an individual contributor role into an Engineering Management position
• Positioning yourself to learn a ton, build an insanely great network, so you can be a Founder of your own company

We’re a tight-knit group of diverse, boundary-breaking colleagues, where everyone feels welcome and can contribute the best work of their careers. You might be a culture-add if the following describes you:

• You’re a fast learner who moves swiftly and autonomously, iterating on your learnings in real-time. You don’t need knowledge or experience in cyber security, but you should be excited about the mission and eager to learn about the industry quickly. You have a deeply-embedded kinetic drive that propels them to make the impossible possible.
• You are an owner who takes full responsibility for your work. You are not a problem shuffler. You understand how your work impacts the business and proactively seek information to stay informed and act as a business owner, in which there is no task beneath you.
• You are authentic – clear about your opinions, motivations, and intent. You are curious, not judgmental, and always seek to learn more so you can improve your understanding of the world.
• You love building technology solutions that delight customers - internal and external alike. Yes, sometimes that means you are okay working late or rising early.
• You take a principle-based approach to building products/processes. You are intentional about improving 1% better everyday. You have high standards, we do too.

Tech Stack:

• Language: Python, Golang
• Platform: AWS (Azure in the future) through Terraform, Docker, ECS
• Frameworks: Django, Celery
• Storage: MySQL, Postgres, Redis
• Frontend: Typescript, React, javascript

Abnormal Security is committed to creating a diverse work environment. All qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status
