About the Role
This is a Bay Area based role with periodic onsite requirements. You should expect to work onsite in the Bay Area for designated periods throughout the year as required by the business, which may include consecutive weeks or months, totaling approximately 25% of working time annually.
Enterprises are undergoing two simultaneous transformations: moving critical infrastructure to the cloud and adopting AI agents at scale. Both create an identity explosion—humans, service accounts, and AI agents now outnumber traditional users 10-to-1, each with permissions that legacy tools can't govern. Abnormal's Identity Security team is building the platform to secure this new reality: unified visibility across all identity types, behavioral intelligence that understands what's normal, and AI-native automation that operates at cloud speed. We're extending the same behavioral approach that made Abnormal the leader in email security to protect identities across cloud infrastructure and AI systems.
What you will do
- Build discovery, classification, monitoring, and protection for machine identities and their agentic actions.
- Ship guardrails and policy engines that enable safe automation while preventing misuse, escalation, and anomalous behavior.
- Create high‑availability pipelines that ingest and correlate identity, authorization, and behavioral signals from cloud, SaaS, IAM/SSO, and audit logs.
- Drive 0→1 iteration: prototype quickly, test assumptions, learn from usage, and scale simple solutions.
- Collaborate across security, platform, and data teams; write and review technical designs; and participate in core SDLC rituals.
Must Haves
- 1+ years building software applications.
- Experience productionizing large‑scale, data‑intensive systems.
- High velocity and creativity in solving technical challenges.
- Experience & desire to adopt & improve AI-native development workflows.
- Strong debugging with logs, metrics, and signals.
- Ability to translate business requirements into high‑quality software.
- Ability to independently solve complex problems and work cross‑functionally.
