## Job description

## About the Team

Abnormal AI is looking for a Software Engineer II to join the Dev Accelerator Team. The Dev Accelerator team builds and operates our internal developer platform: the tools, libraries, and infrastructure that let 100+ engineers design, build, test, and ship products quickly and safely.

Some of the pieces we’ve been working on recently

- Autonomous PR generators for rolling out migrations and linter rule enforcement
- Testing frameworks for enabling clear end to end test support with data generation and coverage tooling
- Optimizing CI execution speeds
- Developer CLI tooling: a “Prompt-to-Product” style CLI that scaffolds services end to end, environment and credentials tooling, and a broad set of internal developer scripts
- Large scale code migrations to improve the shape of the codebase for AI efficacy

Our goal is to make the easy path the right path for product teams and AI agents building on the platform.

## What You’ll Do

As a Software Engineer II, Dev Accelerator, you will:

- Develop and evolve the internal developer platforms that supports development across Abnormal
- Own high-leverage projects across CLI tooling, CI/CD, shared libraries, and test infrastructure.
- Work across Python, Go, Bazel, Kubernetes, AWS, and CI systems to make our Golden Path fast, reliable, and intuitive.
- Shape abstractions and workflows that are AI-native, consumable by both humans and AI agents.

This is an individual-contributor role with ownership of multi-quarter initiatives. Success requires close collaboration with product engineering, Infrastructure, SRE, Security, and other partner teams.

Must Haves

- 3+ years of experience as a software engineer or in a similar role
- Proficiency leveraging AI tools to accelerate engineering outcomes through discovery, design, implementation, and rollout of software systems.
- Experience or strong interest in using LLMs to improve developer workflows (e.g., failure summarization, smart code generation, AI-native CLIs).

## Nice to Have

- Familiarity with our stack: Python, Golang, Bazel, AWS, Kubernetes, Github Actions
- Built or maintained CLI tools, scaffolding systems, or internal frameworks used by other engineers.
- Experience with test data management, integration/E2E test infrastructure, or bad-test detection.
- Hands on experience in
- CLI development
- YAML/Jinja2-style templating.
- Modern type hints and typing discipline (e.g., typing, dataclasses / attrs, Pydantic-style patterns).
- Testing with standard frameworks like pytest/Ginkgo or similar.
- Shared library and service development (gRPC/HTTP).
- Authoring reusable workflows
- #LI-NT1

- **Mission statement**: "Stop crime with AI and bring cybersecurity from the future to defenders today."

## Products & Services
- **Abnormal Behavioral Security Platform**: An AI-native, cloud-based platform that builds behavioral baselines for every user and entity in an organization to detect anomalies that indicate attacks.
  - **Email Security**: Autonomous detection and remediation of BEC, phishing, and account takeover attacks via API-based, cloud-native architecture. Deploys in 60 seconds with no MX changes.

## Market Standing

## Competitive Advantages
- **Behavioral AI Moat**: Unlike signature-based or rules-based security tools, Abnormal builds a unique behavioral baseline for every organization and user. This allows it to detect novel attacks that no other vendor sees.
- **AI-Native Operations**: The company doesn't just build AI products—it runs its entire business (product, CS, finance, HR) with AI agents, compounding its speed of innovation.
- **Deep Enterprise Trust**: Over 25% of the Fortune 500 give Abnormal the authority to autonomously make security decisions, a level of trust very few vendors achieve.
- **Founding Team Origins**: Founders came from adtech (building anomaly-detection AI at scale) rather than traditional cybersecurity, giving them an outsider's perspective that led to the behavioral AI approach.

- **AI-First Product Development**: Using AI agents to compress product development cycles from quarters to weeks, rapidly launching new products.

- **Market Leadership**: Capitalizing on the wave of AI-generated attacks to position behavioral AI as the only viable defense.

## Why Work Here
- **Remote-First Culture**: From day one, Abnormal has been remote-first. Employees have the choice to work from home, from hub offices, or from co-working spaces (WeWork). Async work is the default, with deliberate synchronous overlap time. [abnormal.ai](https://abnormal.ai/careers/culture)
- **High Autonomy, High Accountability**: No micromanagement. Clear expectations. Growth is based on impact, not tenure or title. "You don't wait your turn." [abnormal.ai](https://abnormal.ai/careers/culture)
- **AI-Native Work Environment**: Every employee, regardless of role, gets access to the best AI tools and is expected to use them. The company rebuilds work processes around what AI makes possible—not by bolting AI onto old workflows. [abnormal.ai](https://abnormal.ai/careers/culture)
- **Compressed Growth Timeline**: Because everything moves fast with AI, impact that would take quarters elsewhere happens in weeks. One person can do what used to take a team. Outsized impact is rewarded proportionally. [abnormal.ai](https://abnormal.ai/careers/culture)
- **Transparent and Direct Culture**: "We say what's true, even when it's uncomfortable." Leaders are accessible, teams share learnings openly, and new hires get real ownership immediately. [abnormal.ai](https://abnormal.ai/about)
- **Notable Perks**: Compensation is tied to impact, not role. The company offers flexibility as infrastructure, not a benefit. Employees see direct results from their work in a fast-growing, mission-driven company.
