Our Message Security Detection team at Abnormal operates at massive scale, powering critical security infrastructure that processes 10B+ emails per week (~35 TB of data daily), while also building a new real-time Threat Intelligence platform from the ground up.
What makes this opportunity unique is the combination of zero-to-one product development and enterprise-scale engineering challenges from day one, involving real-time data streaming, low-latency backend systems, and large-scale search and indexing. This is a zero-to-one initiative focused on streaming critical security data to enterprise teams at scale. As an SWE-2 on this team, you won't just be executing on a roadmap, you'll be helping us find the problems that aren't on it yet. We are looking for a backend engineer with a builder mindset who thrives in an environment where they can take ownership and help define the technical path forward.
Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, Applied Sciences, Information Systems, or a closely related engineering field.
