Senior Software Engineer - App Foundations

About the Role

Abnormal AI is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join the App Foundations team. App Foundations owns the core customer-centric data and platform services that every Abnormal product depends on — our MPP API and customer data model, the Notifications Platform, License Entitlement, Package Management, Large Model Service (LMS, our internal LLM inference platform), and the MPP Go Service that sits behind our Portal. If a product at Abnormal is launching, scaling, or talking to a customer, it's almost certainly running on something we own.

This is a senior IC role for a generalist backend engineer who wants to own systems end-to-end, raise the technical and operational bar, and help shape how a platform team operates in an AI-native company. You'll rotate across our surfaces rather than specializing in one — which means your first year spans API design, distributed systems reliability, LLM inference infrastructure, and the kind of hard, cross-team platform work that determines whether new products ship cleanly.

The ideal candidate is a product-minded, principle-first engineer who takes extreme ownership, communicates crisply, and treats AI tools as a core part of how they build — not a side experiment.

What you will do

• Design, build, and operate high-performance, low-latency services across the App Foundations portfolio — Python/Django, Go, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Kafka, Redis
