## About the role

Abnormal AI is looking for an Application Security Engineer II to secure the AI-powered systems at the core of our AWS-based platform (LLM-integrated features, agentic workflows, MCP connectors, and the model supply chain) against threats like prompt injection at production scale. This is an individual contributor role that blends deep application security expertise with strong engineering fundamentals.

## What they're looking for

- Experience securing AI/ML-powered systems, or a clear ability to ramp fast on prompt injection, model supply chain, and agentic-workflow risks
- Strong programming skills in Python, Go, Java, or JavaScript/TypeScript. You write and read production code, not just review it
- Expertise in web application security including OWASP Top 10, authentication/authorization, cryptography, and secure API design, including securing modern architectures (microservices, containers, cloud-native)
- Hands-on experience threat modeling and running security architecture reviews
- Proven ability to influence and collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, DevOps, and product teams, with strong written communication
