Abnormal AI

Abnormal AI provides advanced email security solutions designed to block malicious email attacks, including credential phishing, business email compromise, and account takeover.

Internet Software & Services
Founded 2018

Description

  • Own detection performance outcomes for 3–5 strategic customer accounts, tracking and improving measurable detection KPIs (e.g., precision/recall, false positives/negatives).
  • Serve as a reliable technical partner for customer detection issues, handling high-priority false positive and false negative escalations in collaboration with Customer Success and Sales.
  • Monitor and analyze misclassification patterns using internal detection analysis dashboards and tools to identify root causes.
  • Perform incident triage and alert correlation using IOCs and TTPs to systematically diagnose why detections produce false positives or miss threats.
  • Design and implement detection tuning strategies and adjust thresholds/configurations to optimize precision while maintaining coverage against emerging threats.
  • Generate and present impact reports that demonstrate measurable detection improvements to customers and internal stakeholders.
  • Document investigation findings, tuning approaches, and reusable playbook content to enable team learning and program scaling.
  • Provide feedback to tooling teams on analysis gaps and automation opportunities and support training of other team members by sharing methodologies and investigation insights.

Requirements

  • 2–5 years of experience in SOC operations, detection engineering, incident response, email security analysis, or a related cybersecurity role.
  • Experience with security monitoring/detection platforms (SIEM, EDR, email security tools) — experience with Abnormal Security is a plus.
  • Proven experience triaging security alerts, performing root cause analysis, and tuning detection logic to reduce false positives while maintaining coverage.
  • Practical experience in email attack analysis with the ability to identify and leverage IOCs and TTPs to remediate threats.
  • Deep understanding of precision/recall metrics and their business impact on security operations and customer experience.
  • Demonstrated proficiency with AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) to enhance productivity, automate tasks, and accelerate investigations.
  • Strong technical writing and communication skills with the ability to explain complex issues to both technical and non-technical audiences and to produce customer-facing reports.
  • Ability to remain calm and responsive during high-pressure situations, including customer escalations and active incidents, with a strong ownership mindset.
  • Basic SQL knowledge and familiarity with Python or data analysis scripting/notebook environments (Databricks, Jupyter, Splunk) (nice to have).
  • Familiarity with threat intelligence concepts, MITRE ATT&CK, common email attack vectors, and relevant security certifications (Security+, Network+, GIAC, CISSP, CEH) is preferred.
