Senior Security Engineer

About this role

About the Role Abnormal AI is hiring a Senior Cloud Security Engineer to build and operate the security systems that protect our FedRAMP authorized environment. You will own secure delivery pipelines, infrastructure as code security, patch automation, identity controls, security telemetry, and incident response across a growing federal platform. You will design and build the capabilities that allow this environment to scale safely.

Your work will include creating policy gates for cloud deployments, automating patch and access workflows, strengthening identity controls, improving security telemetry, and generating audit evidence directly from engineering systems. You will have meaningful ownership of both architecture and operational results, with the opportunity to replace repetitive work with reliable automation across the environment. You will work closely with DevInfra, FedOps, Product Security, Detection and Response, and Compliance to solve cloud security problems that cross traditional team boundaries.

You will also use approved AI coding tools, such as Claude Code, to accelerate scripting, testing, documentation, and security automation. What you will do Build and improve secure delivery workflows for applications and infrastructure deployed into the federal environment. Create policy gates that evaluate infrastructure changes, security requirements, test results, and required approvals before deployment. Integrate security scanning and control validation into delivery workflows so issues are identified early in the development process.

Review infrastructure as code changes that affect the federal boundary and help engineering teams resolve security risks before those changes reach production. Design automation that produces change records, approval history, test results, and required evidence directly from engineering workflows. Build and maintain hardened system image pipelines that consistently apply approved configurations, security controls, and operating system updates.

Automate patch deployment across the environment, including testing, scheduling, rollout, validation, exception management, and compliance reporting. Improve fleet visibility so teams can quickly identify systems that are missing patches, running unsupported software, or operating outside approved configurations. Design and enforce identity and access controls across a complex cloud environment. Strengthen cloud security through organization policies, identity controls, resource policies, and automated configuration checks.
