Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of experience working on data-intensive applications and distributed systems
- Strong background in building platforms, tools, and systems to serve the needs of engineering teams, empowering them to ship with velocity and reliability
- Depth in one or more types of online data storage systems (relational, key-value, document-oriented, or columnar databases) either as an expertise provider or as a power user, in a high scale environment
- Proven track record of being a change agent, defining and driving engineering initiatives that involve cross-team collaboration
- Expertise in one or more key areas of the Data Platform online storage tech stack - relational DBs, RocksDB, ElasticSearch, Redis, Kafka

What the job involves
- Enterprises of all sizes trust Abnormal Security’s cloud products to stop cybercrime
- These products are data intensive SaaS applications that depend on reliable, scalable, and secure access to data
- This is where our Data Platform team fits in, offering scalable storage systems (PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, Redis, RocksDB, DynamoDB), as well as building services and tools to improve their operational excellence, and offering expertise to engineering and data science teams around usage of these systems at high scale
- The Data Platform team is looking to add a Senior Software Engineer
- The individual in this role will have the opportunity to partner closely with our existing world class team of engineers as we define and build the next generation data platform, and execute on ambitious and challenging technical projects to deliver value to Abnormal and its customers
- There are a lot of opportunities for growth and career advancement – including growing into a Staff technical leadership role
- Define and deliver our data platform offerings across AWS to empower and delight our internal engineering and data science customers
- Build tooling and services for our online storage platforms that will deliver self-serve capabilities for the team’s stakeholders
- Work cross functionally with other engineering teams to identify scalability gaps in their data intensive systems, owning key areas from our charter, building and executing on plans to mitigate them
Our take
Fraud involving impersonation is one of the top causes of online financial crime. Criminal tactics like email account spoofing, where the criminal impersonates an official account to steal personal information or money, are rife. Abnormal AI is a startup aimed at handling these hyper-targeted and personalised email attacks by analysing communications and identifying potential fraud before it can take place.
The fraud detection space is extremely competitive, but Abnormal AI differentiates itself through its focus on the threat of impersonation rather than a spectrum of threats. This has allowed it to amass a wealth of data relating specifically to high-risk impersonation attacks, analyzing over 45,000 signals to detect any anomalies.
Its specialised approach has fuelled rapid growth, leading to a $5B valuation after a Series D Funding round in 2024. Now, Abnormal plans to double down on product development and expand internationally, prioritising markets where data security laws necessitate a local presence. By staying focused on impersonation, Abnormal AI positions itself as a formidable force in the fight against online financial crime.
