About the Role

Abnormal Security is looking for a Software Engineer to join the Cloud Infrastructure team. This team is responsible for Abnormal’s presence in the public cloud and ensuring our use of the cloud is secure, reliable, and repeatable while meeting the needs of our engineering team.

• Willing to actively mentor and influence others both inside and outside of your team
• Committed to identifying friction in internal processes and reducing/removing it

• Provide guidance and support to internal engineering teams in their use of the public cloud
• Introduce and own new features to existing systems

• Actively seek and incorporate feedback
• Participate in the recruiting process including referrals, recruiting events, and interviews
