AI Model Engineer

🌍 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 Model Engineer to join our AI Pentest team. You’ll evaluate newly released open-source models and adapt the best ones specifically for Aikido’s code auditing and pentesting workflows. Responsibilities Scout and evaluate new open-source AI models. Fine-tune, distill, quantize, or prune models for Aikido’s security agents. Build benchmarks that measure vulnerability discovery, accuracy, tool use, speed, and cost. Optimize and deploy models on our multi-GPU infrastructure. Work with AI engineers and security researchers to bring validated improvements into production.
