Role

Who you are

  • You are a product minded engineer who’s passionate about building the best product for our customers
  • You take a “principle-first” approach to building scalable, customer-centric solutions
  • You’re looking for a “mission-first” company aiming to solve meaningful and pragmatic problems
  • You’re looking to take ownership of your work and your growth
  • You’re self-driven, detail-oriented, and care about code quality, testing, and customer-driven product experience
  • You bring up ambiguities and clarify decisions with leadership instead of improvising solutions on the go
  • You have strong communication skills and proven ability to work autonomously and asynchronously with remote collaborators and stakeholders
  • 4+ years working on relevant tech stacks - Python (Django) and Go, MySQL & PostgreSQL databases, ElasticSearch, Redis, and Kafka
  • 3+ years of production support experience for enterprise-class customers
  • At least 2 years of system design experience
  • Proven experience building and maintaining microservices
  • Proven experience owning testing as well as the development of all software solutions
  • Proven experience working with agile development methodologies (both scrum and kanban)
  • Proven experience collaborating effectively with product managers, designers, and engineers to deliver world class products
  • A Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science or equivalent work experience

What the job involves

  • Abnormal Security is looking for a Backend Engineer to join the Multi-Product Platform (MPP) team. The MPP team owns the product platform which enables scalable product development to support the business to create and launch various enterprise-level products for the customers with consistent experience
  • Work with engineers, designers, PMs, EMs to deliver on the product roadmap and meet company-wide objectives
  • Design, build, and maintain new high performance, low latency products and services
  • Work closely with engineering and product managers to assess trade-offs, develop plans, and build platform and foundations to enable scalable product development
  • Optimize our internal processes with automation such that we can service customers with little to no human intervention
  • Setup and maintain instrumentation, monitoring, and alerting for our services

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 Security is a startup aimed at handling these hyper-targeted and personalized email attacks by analyzing communications and identifying potential fraud before it can take place.

The fraud detection space is extremely competitive but Abnormal Security 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 specialized approach has fueled rapid growth, leading to a $4B valuation after a Serice C Funding round. Now, Abnormal plans to double down on product development and expand internationally, prioritizing markets where data security laws necessitate a local presence. By staying focused on impersonation, Abnormal Security positions itself as a formidable force in the fight against online financial crime.
