Job Description

About the Role

The Opportunity

In a cloud software world, who you are and what you have access to determines the risk associated with your accounts being compromised, Abnormal Security aims to build a comprehensive tool to understand the employees of our customers, and aid security professionals in assessing the risks and threats impacting their employee base. Help us build a new layer of protection that will give enterprises the same level of security for their cloud offerings as Abnormal Security's industry leading products do in the email security space.

We're looking to add a Backend Engineer to our team of world class engineers. The individual in this role will shape and elevate our engineering teams within the Behavioral Event Security Products division. This role straddles the line of velocity and excellence.

You are someone who wants to make an impact. You are passionate about solving complex ambiguous problems by building high scale data platforms and infrastructure. You have built up a set of skills through experience working with distributed systems at high scale in a complex environment. You take pride in your work, ownership of your systems and continually improve the world around you.

We are an ambitious, high-performance team that regularly encounters new problems and challenges – this means you should be comfortable with a level of uncertainty, partially defined problem statements, and a wide range of challenges and potential solutions. Not every project will come with a comprehensive well-defined PRD as you would find as a more mature company. This also means that you will have the opportunity to choose the solution you feel best fit for the situation, balancing velocity and scope to deliver the optimal solution for the scenario. At Abnormal, we expect all engineers to be able to dig into a problem and figure out what the best course of action is, given the information known at the time. Occasionally, you may find yourself doing things that may not strictly fit the role of a "backend engineer" in order to complete the objective.

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.

What You'll Do

  • Build and maintain high-throughput, low-latency systems that process 100s of millions of events per day to enable Abnormal detection teams to identify and stop cyber attacks
  • Enhance data platforms and infrastructure to improve efficiency and efficacy of Behavioral Event Security Products
  • Provide operational support and maintenance to ensure high stability and scalability of data platform systems and services
  • Strive for excellence through iterative improvement, a collaborative environment focused on growth, and camaraderie

Must Have Skills

  • Experience working with building and operating high scale distributed systems and services
  • 3-5 years of overall software engineering experience
  • Experience with tech stack including :
  • Language : Golang (preferred), Python
  • Kubernetes
  • Storage / Data Pipelines : Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, ElasticSearch, Parquet, gRPC, protobuf
  • Observability : Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry, APM
  • Frameworks : Django, Spark
  • Nice to Have Skills
