Employment: full time

About the Role At Abnormal AI, we are on a thrilling mission to safeguard the world's largest enterprises against a vast range of relentless email and collaboration application cyber security attacks. Our relentless pursuit involves crafting an exceptional suite of products that empowers customers to seamlessly visualize, expertly control, and fearlessly combat cyber-security threats. The Multi-Product Platform (MPP) organization owns the product platform that enables scalable product development, helping the business build and launch enterprise-grade products with a consistent customer experience. This is a chance to build the data backbone that every Abnormal product depends on. As a Software Engineer on MPP, you'll create the standardised data layer that becomes our single source of truth — the one governed path through which any system, agent, or interface can reach data from across every product, from a single record to cross-product aggregates, online or offline, in whatever shape it needs. It's a genuinely hard, high-leverage problem: the layer has to serve the entire platform at high throughput and low latency without ever becoming the bottleneck, while enforcing tenant isolation, authentication, and fine-grained access control so every team inherits strong security and reliability for free. You won't be maintaining someone else's system — you'll be defining the foundation every product is built on, where getting it right compounds across the whole company. If you're energized by 0→1 platform work, driving cross-team standards, and owning a system end-to-end, this role is built for you.
