The Dev Accelerator team builds and operates Abnormal’s internal developer platform: the tools, libraries, and infrastructure that help engineers design, build, test, and ship products quickly and safely. The team owns developer CLI tooling, monorepo build and CI workflows, shared Go/Python libraries, and test and release safety systems that form the Golden Path for backend development.
As a Software Engineer on Dev Accelerator, you’ll own scoped problems end-to-end with support from teammates, using good judgment and growing independence to deliver reliable outcomes. You’ll use AI as a core part of how you explore solutions and move quickly, while validating that generated outputs are correct, maintainable, and production-ready.
What you will do- Contribute to the internal developer platform that supports backend development across the company, from local developer workflows to shared services and libraries.
- Build and improve scoped pieces of developer tooling, including CLI and scaffolding workflows that help engineers create and ship new services safely and consistently.
- Help maintain and improve CI/CD, linting, and testing workflows in the monorepo, with a focus on reliability, fast feedback, and keeping main healthy.
- Contribute code to shared Go and Python libraries and services, learning the team’s patterns for safe, maintainable, and consistent usage.
- Use AI to explore approaches, automate repetitive work where appropriate, and iterate on implementations until they meet real production standards.
- Debug issues, write tests, and validate behavior in real environments rather than relying only on generated output or assumptions.
- Improve team documentation, examples, and shared context so both engineers and AI tools can produce better results over time.
- 1+ years of professional development experience or 2+ years of consistent open source contributions
- Relevant software engineering experience through internships, co-ops, research, open-source work, substantial project work, or early-career full-time roles that demonstrate readiness to contribute in a production environment.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and the ability to write, test, debug, and improve production-quality code.
- Experience with Python or Go, plus willingness to learn whichever language is less familiar for the role.
- Familiarity with modern development workflows such as version control, code review, testing, and CI/CD.
- Good judgment when using AI tools for engineering work: you can evaluate outputs, catch incorrect or incomplete solutions, and refine them to fit real system constraints.
- Comfort taking ownership of scoped problems end-to-end, asking for help when needed, and steadily increasing independence.
- Strong learning mindset, adaptability, and openness to feedback in a fast-moving platform environment.
- Clear communication and a collaborative approach to working with teammates and internal customers.
- B.S. degree in computer science or related field
- Internship, co-op, or early-career experience building internal tools, backend services, or developer productivity tooling.
- Exposure to monorepo development, CI/CD pipelines, or build systems.
- Familiarity with Go/Python shared libraries, gRPC/Protobuf APIs, or cloud-based backend systems.
- Interest in developer experience, self-service platforms, or Golden Path tooling.
- Curiosity about AI-native developer workflows and excitement about improving how engineers build software with AI.

What We Do
The Abnormal Security platform protects enterprises from targeted email attacks. Abnormal Behavior Technology (ABX) models the identity of both employees and external senders, profiles relationships and analyzes email content to stop attacks that lead to account takeover, financial damage and organizational mistrust. Though one-click, API-based Office 365 and G Suite integration, Abnormal sets up in minutes and does not disrupt email flow. Abnormal Security was founded in 2018 by CEO Evan Reiser, CTO Sanjay Jeyakumar, Head of Machine Learning Jeshua Bratman, and Founding Engineers Abhijit Bagri and Dmitry Chechik. The team previously built behavioral profiling and machine learning technologies at Twitter, Google and Pinterest that are being applied to solve a problem that costs organizations $1 billion per year, according to the FBI. The Abnormal Security platform stops targeted phishing, business email compromise and account takeover attacks that have never been seen before.
