About the Role

Abnormal AI is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join the Multi-Product Platform division, owning Security & Privacy as a platform capability.

We're looking for a distributed systems expert who has worked closely with security teams — someone who can drive Product Security at scale and translate that into clear, executable technical roadmaps.

Who you are

First-principles thinker – you break complex, ambiguous problems down to fundamentals, then rebuild them into clear, prioritized milestones that deliver real customer value.
Distributed systems expert – you bring deep experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems, and have partnered with security teams to build secure-by-default solutions.
Roadmap-to-reality executor – you transform requirements into actionable technical roadmaps and lead large-scale projects from concept to production.
AI-native innovator – you bring expertise and creativity in applying AI-native approaches to unlock new capabilities.

What you will do

Drive end-to-end delivery of large-scale, cross-functional Security & Privacy initiatives — keeping pace with product expansion while preserving R&D velocity.
Draw the Security & Privacy roadmap for the Multi-Product Platform division across a two year horizon, partnering with engineering, product, and business stakeholders.
Mentor and grow the next generation of Tech Leads, raising the technical bar across the organization.

Must Haves

BS degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or other related engineering field.
8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
Deep expertise in distributed systems, large-scale system design and architectural patterns.
Hands-on experience with product security.
Demonstrated track record of owning end-to-end delivery of complex, cross-functional projects.
Proficiency in Golang and Python.

Nice to Have

Experience across multiple domains — infrastructure, data platform, machine learning, or similar.
Contributions to open-source projects, engineering blogs, or industry standards.
