About the Role

At Abnormal AI, we safeguard the world’s largest enterprises from cybercrime. We protect our customers against adversaries who constantly evolve their techniques and tactics to outwit and undermine traditional approaches to email security. That’s what makes our novel, behavior-based approach so…Abnormal. We’ve consistently been recognized as one of the top cybersecurity startups, and our behavioral AI system has earned numerous industry accolades. We’ve built our reputation and brand through our industry-leading email security solution, which now protects more than 20% of the Fortune 500.

As Abnormal expands its ambitions beyond email into the broader Identity Security landscape—while also maintaining and scaling our email security products—a scalable, reliable infrastructure foundation is critical to powering our next phase of growth.
