Abnormal AI is looking for a Senior Cyber Security Engineer to help build the next generation of security capabilities at scale. This is a senior IC-level role that blends deep security expertise with the judgment to direct AI tools effectively — you'll increasingly rely on AI to scaffold Terraform modules, prototype detection logic, and draft integrations, while you own the architecture decisions, validate what ships, and catch the failure modes AI won't flag on its own (overprivileged roles, missed edge cases, subtle logic gaps).
As a technical lead, you will own the architecture and correctness of systems that enhance both preventative guardrails and detective capabilities across our primarily AWS-based cloud environment, partnering closely with both platform engineering and product teams on security architecture reviews. You'll raise the AI leverage of the engineers around you — not by teaching scripting basics, but by turning your review judgment into reusable standards the team can build on directly. You'll act as a technical liaison across teams and contribute directly to keeping our platforms and customers secure.
This is a role for engineers who are intellectually curious and motivated to bridge security principles, engineering execution, and AI-accelerated delivery.
