Role
Who you are
- 2+ years building software applications
- Experience productionizing large‑scale, data‑intensive systems
- High velocity and creativity in solving technical challenges
- Experience & desire to adopt & improve AI-native development workflows
- Strong debugging with logs, metrics, and signals
- Ability to translate business requirements into high‑quality software
- Ability to independently solve complex problems and work cross‑functionally
- BS in CS/SE/IS or related field
Desirable
- Experience with Go and Python
- Experience in IAM, non‑human/machine identities, secrets management, workload identities, OAuth/OIDC, SCIM, SSO, or policy engines
- Experience in cybersecurity or related industries
- Experience with big data, statistics, and ML for identity/behavioral risk modeling
What the job involves
- Abnormal's Identity Security team is building the platform to secure this new reality: unified visibility across all identity types, behavioral intelligence that understands what's normal, and AI-native automation that operates at cloud speed
- We're extending the same behavioral approach that made Abnormal the leader in email security to protect identities across cloud infrastructure and AI systems
- Build discovery, classification, monitoring, and protection for machine identities and their agentic actions
- Ship guardrails and policy engines that enable safe automation while preventing misuse, escalation, and anomalous behavior
- Create high‑availability pipelines that ingest and correlate identity, authorization, and behavioral signals from cloud, SaaS, IAM/SSO, and audit logs
- Drive 0→1 iteration: prototype quickly, test assumptions, learn from usage, and scale simple solutions
- Collaborate across security, platform, and data teams; write and review technical designs; and participate in core SDLC rituals
Application process
- As part of Abnormal AI's secure hiring practices, we conduct video interviews and validate applicant identity at various stages through our recruitment process
- Further, if your application is successful and Abnormal AI makes a conditional offer of employment, we will carry out pre-employment checks which must be successfully completed to progress to a final offer
- All processes and pre-employment checks are in line with prevailing legislation and Abnormal AI's policies relevant to our security and privacy standards
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 personalised email attacks by analysing 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 specialised approach has fuelled rapid growth, leading to a $5B valuation after a Series D Funding round. 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 Security positions itself as a formidable force in the fight against online financial crime.
