Full Stack Engineer

The Opportunity

Abnormal Security’s Account Takeover team is defining the next generation of security for Software as a Service and cloud offerings.

Enterprises of all sizes have begun to adopt cloud offerings from google docs to box to slack : work that once took place in a single office building or behind a firewall is now happening out on the open internet, and criminals are very aware of the opportunities to steal data, hijack important financial information, and otherwise compromise companies that use these cloud services.

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 Founding Full-Stack Engineer to our new business unit, who will report to our Director of Engineering, David Hagar , work alongside our CTO, Sanjay Jeyakumar , and collaborate with our world-class team.

The individual in this role will shape and elevate our Account Takeover (ATO) team by streamlining the layers of our architecture while working closely with our customers internal and external alike.

This role straddles the line of velocity and excellence.

As a Founding Full-Stack Engineer on this new product team, you will :

• Own and develop data-rich, consumer-grade, user interfaces and APIs for integrating third party solutions into Abnormal’s unified cloud protection product
• Build the user interface that allows customers and internal agents to debug particular attacks
• Build a framework and specification for quickly adding new data sources, and then integrate the first data sources as proof of concept for our customers
• Obsessively partner with our customers to gather their feedback and quickly iterate to improve our systems - example - help resolve FP / FN or integration issues.
• Create a magical work environment with colleagues and memorable interview process for candidates

This is a full stack role : expect to move from tasks such as coding the UI for Cloud Unity one day, while spending the next working on the data integration platform that pulls in logs and events from cloud offerings, or perhaps diving into the ML systems used to detect attacks.

Additionally, we will be building this with heavy customer input and are looking for someone excited to deal with customers, taking their feedback to quickly iterate and improve our systems.

This is a unique opportunity in which engineers from various backgrounds could thrive. Here are just a few examples of profiles we think could be excellent :

• A full stack engineer who has worked at scale and enjoys building products from the ground up
• A customer-focused engineer who loves the idea of getting directly involved with our users to hear what’s working and what isn’t
• An aspiring entrepreneur who wants a rare opportunity to sit alongside our CTO to build a startup within a scale-up.
• A full-stack generalist who has spent time building pieces of something, but who wants more ownership designing a system from end-to-end

Requirements :

• Strong Computer Science fundamentals
• We prefer candidates who have at least 2 years of experience building & operating scalable web applications with modern frontend frameworks.
• We are hiring across various levels, so don't let the job title deter you

There are a lot of opportunities for growth and career advancement it’s up to you own your career here. Some potential career paths for this role include :

• Continuing to grow into a senior, staff, and / or tech lead individual contributor role
• Moving from an individual contributor role into an Engineering Management position
• Positioning yourself to learn a ton, build an insanely great network, so you can be a Founder of your own company

We’re a tight-knit group of diverse, boundary-breaking colleagues, where everyone feels welcome and can contribute the best work of their careers.

You might be a culture-add if the following describes you :

• You’re a fast learner who moves swiftly and autonomously, iterating on your learnings in real-time.
• You don’t need knowledge or experience in cyber security, but you should be excited about the mission and eager to learn about the industry quickly.
• You have a deeply-embedded kinetic drive that propels them to make the impossible possible.
