This position exists to build and improve the configuration platform owned by the Config Platform team, within the Multi-Product Platform (MPP) division. The role plays a critical part in helping the team deliver on its mission: making configuration easier to access, reuse, and operate across Abnormal, so product teams can spend more time on customer-facing capabilities and less on infrastructure plumbing. You will contribute directly to the backend systems that control how Abnormal products are configured.
Abnormal AI is looking for a driven and growth-oriented Backend Software Engineer to join the Config Platform team. The team builds and maintains the shared systems behind product settings, feature toggles, and tenant configuration. As a member of the team, you will build and scale backend services, help make platform capabilities more reliable, scalable, and observable, and work with engineers across product teams to turn their configuration needs into maintainable software. Youโll work across APIs, backend services, and data workflows, and take part in code reviews, testing, releases, and operational learning as you grow toward owning well-scoped components end to end. Weโre looking for candidates who are eager to learn, excited to work collaboratively, and motivated by building foundations that many engineering teams rely on.
Once you apply, youโll be invited to our AI-powered Development Challenge, where youโll gain hands-on experience with AI-powered tools like Cursor and Copilot to build real-world application features. This challenge is a take-home assignment, requiring 2-4 hours of work to be completed within one week - apply when youโre ready!
