With identity now serving as the main attack vector for modern enterprises,
having complete visibility to understand every identity in your setting and
proactively eliminate risk before it's exploited is more essential than ever. As
one of Abnormal's fastest-growing divisions, ISPM is seeking a Senior Software
Engineer to drive the technical roadmap and guide an engineering team in
developing the next generation of identity security defenses.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a hands-on technical leadership role at the intersection of identity
security and distributed systems engineering. You'll write code, design systems,
set technical standards, and mentor engineers — while partnering closely with
Product Management to define what we build next.
You'll own the full stack: backend services that continuously evaluate millions
of identity configurations, a frontend used daily by enterprise security teams,
and the data infrastructure that powers posture scoring and proactive risk
remediation.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
TECHNICAL STRATEGY & LEADERSHIP
* Direct the ISPM technical roadmap by converting product requirements into
robust system designs, mapping out implementation phases, and making
strategic build-vs-extend decisions.
* Architect, design, and scale core identity security posture systems.
* Cultivate and drive cross-functional technical alliances with platform teams
across the security and identity stack.
* Author, review, and evaluate technical design documents while facilitating
architectural discussions and design reviews.
* Establish, promote, and uphold engineering best practices across the
sub-team, focusing on testing, code quality, API design, and observability.
SOFTWARE ENGINEERING & ARCHITECTURE
* Construct and scale high-performance backend services using Go — including
event-driven systems, REST/gRPC APIs, cron jobs, and integration layers.
* Build and maintain user-facing interfaces us
