Staff Software Engineer, Abnormal AI

• You are a High-Slope Builder. You don't wait for a roadmap. You thrive in the terminal, instinctively crafting reusable tools as you work. You prioritize "unblocking" and velocity, but you never sacrifice quality—you use AI to ship better code, faster
• You are a Product Engineer for Developers. You are obsessed with your "customers". You don't build technology for technology's sake; you build tools that solve genuine pain points and delight the engineers who use them daily
• You possess Engineering Breadth. You are a true generalist when wielding AI tools. You are comfortable jumping between architecting cloud infrastructure, writing backend services in Python/Go, and "vibe coding" a frontend dashboard to visualize the data
• You are an "AI-Native" Engineer. You don't just use AI; you have integrated it into your core workflow to operate with 10x leverage
• Typically 4+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Deep familiarity with modern AI coding workflows (Cursor, Claude Code) and the ability to engineer around model limitations
• You are focused on solving user problems and shipping solutions that get adopted, not just building infrastructure in a vacuum
• Uncompromising focus on velocity x excellence; you instinctively write scripts to automate tasks, but ensure they are robust enough for production use
• Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity and ship complex features with minimal oversight

Desirable

• Enterprises of all sizes trust Abnormal AI to stop cybercrime. We believe that to stay ahead of attackers, we must fundamentally rebuild our R&D organization to be AI-Native
• We are moving toward a future where AI-initiated workflows—where agents write the first draft of designs, code, and remediation—are the standard
• As we scale these agentic workflows, we require a new class of infrastructure designed for autonomous execution
• As an Engineer on the AI Accelerator team, you will act as both a technical owner and a force multiplier
• You will architect the developer tooling and platform infrastructure that enables hundreds of engineers (and thousands of agents) to build software faster than ever
• You will be expected to build and ship critical AI DevX systems while also influencing Abnormal’s broader AI strategy
• You are building the "Operating System" for our engineering team—removing the structural bottlenecks that separate human intent from shipped code for mission-critical systems
• Architect the "Agent-Ready" infrastructure, building the sandboxed environments and headless interfaces that allow AI agents to execute safely without human hand-holding
• Embed with product teams to identify friction in the "Plan → Code → Test" loop, shipping 0-to-1 internal tools that ruthlessly automate bottlenecks
• Replace manual human validation with deterministic proof; you will build the validation frameworks that allow agents to verify their own work
• Act as a technical scout for the organization, critically evaluating emerging agentic frameworks to inform our build-vs-buy strategy
