Senior Software Engineer - Product Engineering (Identity Security) at Abnormalsecurity

Senior Software Engineer - Identity Security Enterprises are undergoing two simultaneous transformations: moving critical infrastructure to the cloud and adopting AI agents at scale. Both create an identity explosion—humans, service accounts, and AI agents now outnumber traditional users 10-to-1, each with permissions that legacy tools can't govern. Abnormal's Identity Security team is building the platform to secure this new reality: unified visibility across all identity types, behavioral intelligence that understands what's normal, and AI-native automation that operates at cloud speed.
