Full Stack Engineer

Aegis AI Security; New York (NY); On-site; USD 140,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Aegis AI is seeking engineers to join a team of ex-Google engineers building a defensive AI infrastructure. You will architect systems that detect threats in real-time, scale data pipelines ingesting billions of events, and orchestrate a constellation of AI agents across GPU clusters.

You will work across backend Python/Go and frontend React/TypeScript, contributing to high-signal dashboards and live threat intelligence in a fast-paced, experiment-driven environment.

Qualifications

• 2–10 years of professional software engineering experience.
• Full-stack capability: backend using Python/Go and frontend with React/TypeScript.
• AI/ML infrastructure experience: MLOps, scaling AI workloads or data pipelines at internet scale.
• Mindset: thrive in relentless environments and ship high-quality code fast.

Responsibilities

• Architect the Human AI Interface to run analytics and investigations.
• Scale the Data Engine to ingest massive data streams and monitor events in real-time.
• Orchestrate AI Agents to manage distributed workers for performance and cost balance.

Job description

We are a team of ex-Google engineers who built the defensive infrastructure that guards the modern web—Safe Browsing (5B+ users) and reCAPTCHA (5M+ sites). Now, we are striking out on our own to solve the next existential threat: Adversarial AI.

The $5B+ security market is at a breaking point. Old-school, rules-based systems are defenseless against AI-powered attacks that evolve in real-time.

At Aegis AI, we aren't just \"using AI\"—we are building a distributed network of high-precision AI Agents designed to outpace and outthink attackers.

Your Mission: Architect the Fight

• Build the Human AI Interface: Create engaging interfaces for users to run analytics, drive deep with investigations and understand the threats facing their business.
• Scale the Data Engine: Architect the infrastructure to ingest massive data streams from partners, scan the internet for emerging threats, and monitor billions of events in real-time.
• Orchestrate AI Agents: Design the systems that manage a constellation of distributed agents—balancing performance, cost, and high-precision detection.
• Bridge the Stack: Build everything from the high-performance backend pipelines that fine-tune models with fresh threat data to the intuitive, high-signal dashboards our customers rely on.
• Operationalize Intelligence: Manage GPU workloads across dynamic clusters and implement real-time feedback loops that allow our models to learn \"in the wild\" from live adversarial payloads.

Why This is the Ultimate Engineering Challenge

• Zero Playbook: We are creating new detection paradigms as the threats evolve. If you like \"solved problems\", this isn't for you.
• The Ultimate Arms Race: Our adversaries are smart and get better every day. We move in days and weeks, not quarters.
• Elite Peer Group: Our team consists of top 1% engineers. We maintain a flat, high-intensity culture where the best idea—and the fastest execution—always wins.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 2–10 years of professional software engineering experience.
• Full-Stack Capability: Comfort moving between complex backend infrastructure (Python and Go) and sleek, functional frontends (React/TypeScript).
• AI/ML Infrastructure: Experience with MLOps, scaling AI workloads, or managing data pipelines at internet scale.
• Mindset: You thrive in relentless environments. You care about \"complete thinking\" and shipping high-quality code fast.

Bonus Points For

• Background in Security, Trust & Safety, or Fraud detection.
• Experience working in adversarial environments or \"Red Teaming.\"
• Experience orchestrating distributed systems or Kubernetes-based GPU clusters.

Our Culture

• High Agency: You own your tech stack and your decisions.
• Flat & Fast: Zero politics. Direct communication. Development cycles measured in days.
• Impact-Driven: Clear KPIs for success, with the freedom to determine how you reach them.
