Software Engineer, Abnormal Security

• You are someone who wants to make an impact
• You are passionate about solving customer problems and have built up a base of skills in backend and distributed systems development to do so
• You want to apply those skills on a problem that leaves the world in a better place
• We are also not only a remote team, but a very distributed team, as such you will need to have excellent communication skills across both verbal and written mediums
• You will need to be just as comfortable on a zoom call as writing a 1 pager project proposal to be shared across the team for technical feedback
• Streaming data systems - using Kafka, Spark, Map/Reduce or similar to process large data sets
• Experience with building and operating distributed systems and services at a high scale (~billions of transactions each day)
• Working with external party APIs
• 3-5 years of overall software engineering experience
• Strong sense of best practices in developing software
• This position involves access to technology that is subject to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR). As a result, candidates offered employment must be eligible to access controlled technology under U.S. export control laws. Employment in this position is conditioned on the availability of government authorization

Desirable

• We are a scrappy team: we are building a new product from scratch - this means you should be comfortable with a level of uncertainty beyond what you’d find at a more mature company or even a more mature team at Abnormal
• Not every project will come with a well defined PRD - that’s expected and we expect this engineer to go dig in and figure out what to do
• This also means occasionally we’ll ask you to do things that may not strictly fit the role of a “backend engineer” - it might mean jumping on a customer call, or digging in to help fix a frontend bug
• Build out streaming infrastructure for our data integration platform
• Be able to capture data from slack, teams and other streaming data platforms for processing within our Data Ingestion Platform (DIP)
• Work to integrate customers into the new streaming infrastructure, migrating from the older polling model where necessary
• Work with Product Managers, Designers & Account TakeOver (ATO) detection team on product requirements and frontend implementation
• Partner with our ATO Detection team
• Understand the workflows and processes of the ATO Detection team. Be an effective liaison between ATO Infrastructure <> ATO Detection to understand and represent ATO Detection team needs, and convert those needs into ATO Infrastructure team deliverables
• Help build our group through excellent interview practices
• This engineer must be able to accurately assess candidates technical skills, cultural fit and likelihood of success at Abnormal to ensure we hire the right team
• Be a talent magnet - someone who through the interview process demonstrates their own strengths in a way that attracts candidates to Abnormal and to the ATO team and ensures that we close the candidates we want to close
