Enterprises of all sizes trust Abnormal AI to stop cybercrime. We believe that to stay ahead of attackers, we must fundamentally rebuild our R&D organization to be AI-Native. We are moving toward a future where AI-initiated workflows—where agents write the first draft of designs, code, and remediation—are the standard.
As we scale these agentic workflows, we require a new class of infrastructure designed for autonomous execution. As an Engineer on the AI Accelerator team, you will act as both a technical owner and a force multiplier. You will architect the developer tooling and platform infrastructure that enables hundreds of engineers (and thousands of agents) to build software faster than ever.
You will be expected to build and ship critical AI DevX systems while also influencing Abnormal’s broader AI strategy. You are building the "Operating System" for our engineering team—removing the structural bottlenecks that separate human intent from shipped code for mission-critical systems.
About You- You are a High-Slope Builder. You don't wait for a roadmap. You thrive in the terminal, instinctively crafting reusable tools as you work. You prioritize "unblocking" and velocity, but you never sacrifice quality—you use AI to ship better code, faster.
- You are a Product Engineer for Developers. You are obsessed with your "customers". You don't build technology for technology's sake; you build tools that solve genuine pain points and delight the engineers who use them daily.
- You possess Engineering Breadth. You are a true generalist when wielding AI tools. You are comfortable jumping between architecting cloud infrastructure, writing backend services in Python/Go, and "vibe coding" a frontend dashboard to visualize the data.
- You are an "AI-Native" Engineer. You don't just use AI; you have integrated it into your core workflow to operate with 10x leverage.
- Architect the "Agent-Ready" infrastructure, building the sandboxed environments and headless interfaces that allow AI agents to execute safely without human hand-holding
- Embed with product teams to identify friction in the "Plan → Code → Test" loop, shipping 0-to-1 internal tools that ruthlessly automate bottlenecks
- Replace manual human validation with deterministic proof; you will build the validation frameworks that allow agents to verify their own work
- Act as a technical scout for the organization, critically evaluating emerging agentic frameworks to inform our build-vs-buy strategy
- Typically 4+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Deep familiarity with modern AI coding workflows (Cursor, Claude Code) and the ability to engineer around model limitations
- You are focused on solving user problems and shipping solutions that get adopted, not just building infrastructure in a vacuum
- Uncompromising focus on velocity x excellence; you instinctively write scripts to automate tasks, but ensure they are robust enough for production use
- Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity and ship complex features with minimal oversight
- Production-grade systems expertise spanning Backend services (Python/Go), Cloud Infrastructure, and Data Systems
- Experience with or interest in AI evangelism—sharing knowledge through documentation, workshops, or technical sessions
- Experience building internal developer platforms, CLIs, or CI/CD systems at scale
- History of contributing to open source developer tools or AI frameworks

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.
