SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER - IDENTITY SECURITY POSTURE MANAGEMENT (ISPM) With identity now serving as the main attack vector for modern enterprises, having complete visibility to understand every identity in your environment 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 using React/TypeScript — focusing on policy dashboards, identity visualization, and mitigation workflows. * Design, model, and optimize database schemas capable of handling large-scale multi-tenant identity workloads. * Implement event-driven architectures using Kafka as a message queue to manage asynchronous workflows and ensure continuous evaluation of identity postures. * Maintain operational reliability and service health through standard runbooks, feature flags, and robust monitoring setups. TEAM COLLABORATION & DELIVERY * Support, mentor, and guide a distributed team of 3-4 engineers located across India and Singapore. * Collaborate closely with Product Managers and EM to align on technical strategy, prioritize roadmaps, and deliver quarterly key results and milestones. * Own operational health for all services — on-call rotation, incident response, and SLO management * Serve as the team representative during organizational alignment, review sessions, and client interactions. MUST-HAVE QUALIFICATIONS * 7+ years of software development experience, including at least 2+ years in a tech lead or senior technical leadership role * Proven track record of mentoring engineers and elevating the overall technical standards of the team * Exceptional system architecture skills—experienced in designing and running scalable, multi-tenant, event-driven distributed systems at scale * Deep hands-on experience with Kafka or similar high-throughput event-streaming technologies * Extensive backend production experience with Go—writing idiomatic services with clean design patterns, thorough testing, and robust error handling * Production-level React and TypeScript skills, with the capability to drive and own user-facing features end-to-end * Strong proficiency in SQL and PostgreSQL—including schema design, query optimization, and data modeling for multi-tenant workloads * Superb communication abilities—expert at detailing technical trade-offs to PMs, presenting architecture to leadership, and writing comprehensive design documents * High tolerance for ambiguity—adept at making decisions with partial data and iterating quickly NICE-TO-HAVE QUALIFICATIONS * Experience in identity security, IAM, or security posture management - familiarity will be good.  * Background in cybersecurity products  * Experience with gRPC/Protobuf API design * Familiarity with AI-assisted software development workflows and tools   #LI-MZ1 A note on AI in our process:  Abnormal AI uses AI-assisted tools to help our recruiting team prepare for candidate interviews.
