Job description

We’re making security suck less for developers.

Security tools haven’t kept up with how software is built today. They interrupt teams, slow releases, and turn security into a bottleneck instead of a capability. We built Aikido to change that. Aikido builds developer-first security products that reduce real risk without getting in the way of shipping software. We focus on what actually matters and automate the rest.

We’re taking on legacy security tools teams have been stuck with, and we’re winning. If you want to help us take market share and build products developers actually enjoy using, you’re in the right place.

Founded in 2022 by third-time founders, Aikido has $85M in the bank and a long runway ahead. We’re building toward self-securing software. Join an all-star team. Take real ownership. Push boundaries. Build things that matter.

We're looking for an AI Engineer to join our AI Pentest team and build the infrastructure agents powering our next-generation offensive security platform.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the new AI Infrastructure Pentest product (a new product you will build from scratch): building agents to perform internal+external infrastructure, network, and cloud security assessments.
• Build the LLM and network integrations of the agents, as well as the pipeline used by our AI hacking agents.
• Launch MVP and quickly iterate based on feedback from clients.
• Work with the Product team in understanding what specifications are most important for Aikido's customers.

Job requirements

• Strong Python or TypeScript skills.
• Internal/network penetration testing background, such as Active Directory penetration testing.
• Experience with AI workflows and agentic architectures.
• Self-starter who works well without a rigid structure.
• Strong engineering skills and an experiment-driven approach focused on shipping ideas.
• Nice to have: experience building security tools

What you can expect:

• High-impact position in a fast-growing company.
• Fast growth of responsibility.
• Competitive salary package.
• A company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere (see our culture page on the website for more details).
• Flexibility in working hours.

You will be recruited based on competencies. Qualities of people are decisive, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic origin, age, sexual orientation, or disability.
