Desirable

• We’re looking to add a Backend Engineer to our team of world class engineers
• The individual in this role will shape and elevate our engineering teams within the Behavioral Security Products division. This role straddles the line of velocity and excellence
• Build and maintain high-throughput, low-latency systems that process 100s of millions of events per day to enable detection to identify notable events
• Enhance our frameworks for improving detection efficiency and effectiveness
• Provide operational support to maintain a high level of system uptime and performance
• Create a magical work environment with colleagues and memorable interview process for candidates
• We are a scrappy team: we are building a new product from scratch - this means you should be comfortable with a level of uncertainty beyond what you’d find at a more mature company or even a more mature team at Abnormal
• Not every project will come with a well defined PRD - that’s expected and we expect this engineer to go dig in and figure out what to do
• This also means occasionally we’ll ask you to do things that may not strictly fit the role of a “backend engineer” - it might mean jumping on a customer call, or digging in to help fix a frontend bug
