Software Engineer 2

At Abnormal AI, we are on a thrilling mission to safeguard the world's largest enterprises against relentless email and collaboration application cyber security attacks. Our suite of products empowers organizations to seamlessly visualize, expertly control, and fearlessly combat threats.

The Security Posture Management (SPM) team is a critical element of this mission. SPM provides enterprises with deep visibility and control over their security environment, detecting, surfacing, and helping resolve misconfigurations and risks—enabling proactive threat prevention and compliance at scale.

SPM is not a single surface but a multi-vertical pillar—encompassing SaaS security, cloud security, identity configurations, automation workflows, reporting, and integrations. As threats evolve, we are expanding SPM across to deliver broader coverage, richer insights, and actionable workflows that strengthen customer resilience.

• Tech-Savvy: Proactive in using modern developer productivity tools, including GenAI assistants.
  
  

• 4+ years of industry experience as a Backend Engineer building production-grade applications.
• Strong backend proficiency in Go, with experience designing scalable APIs and services.
• Proficiency in SQL and strong understanding of database systems (e.g., PostgreSQL).
• Knowledge of AWS services (e.g., S3, RDS) and cloud deployment practices.
• Experience with service-to-service communication (e.g., gRPC, Kafka) and caching (Redis).
• Demonstrated ability to write test-driven code in production environments.
  
  

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience with monitoring and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Envoy..).
• Familiarity with GenAI productivity tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude) to accelerate development.
• Familiarity with OAuth/OIDC, RBAC/feature gating.
• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm).

Why Join the SPM Team?

• Be part of a critical product pillar at the forefront of enterprise security.
