We evaluate AI models for the leading frontier labs along with building real-time threat detection and adaptive adversarial red teaming agents for teams deploying AI.\nWe're a team of approximately 50 people, well-funded, growing quickly. Our work directly influences how the world deploys AI agents and systems at scale..\nLearn more about how we work.\nThe Role\nWe’re looking for a software engineer who wants to build things end to end and doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty. You’ll work across the stack-frontend, backend APIs, and databases-helping us turn ideas into real product and improve what’s already in production.\nYou don’t need to have used every tool we use- what matters is that you have solid full-stack experience, pick up new technologies quickly, and are comfortable owning work without a lot of process or hand-holding. We are still in the early stages of our growth, so if you like autonomy, responsibility, and moving fast, then please apply for this opportunity!\nWhat You’ll Do:\nDesign and develop web applications using modern frontend frameworks like Svelte\n\nBuild intuitive and user-friendly interfaces that delight users\n\nDevelop and maintain backend APIs using tools like FastAPI\n\nManage and optimize database systems like MongoDB\n\nCollaborate with our ML research team to integrate AI experiences into our products\n\nWho You Are:\nProficiency in TypeScript or JavaScript\n\nExperience with frontend frameworks such as React, Vue, or Svelte\n\nSolid understanding of HTML and CSS\n\nHands-on experience building backend APIs\n\nKnowledge of database systems (SQL or NoSQL; MongoDB is a plus)\n\nBonus Points If You Have:\nSvelteKit experience\n\nPython proficiency and AI/ML framework exposure\n\nExperience in creating AI-driven applications\n\nExperience deploying and scaling applications on cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Azure)\n\nFamiliarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices to streamline development workflows\n\nKnowledge of secure coding practices and mitigating vulnerabilities in web applications\n\nContributions to open-source projects or an active GitHub/portfolio showcasing relevant work\n\nExperience with testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, Playwright) to ensure code quality\n\nUnderstanding of AI safety principles or ethical considerations in AI systems\n\nIf you don’t have 100% of these, you should still seriously consider applying. We care more about what you can do than your credentials.\nYou’ll Thrive Here If You:\nYou've learned things about your code only production traffic can teach\n\nYou're comfortable debugging across the stack - from browser devtools to database query plans.\n\nYou've worked in environments where moving fast matters and you know how to balance speed with sustainability.\n\nYou're interested in applying your security mindset to AI, where the threat model is still being written\n\nWhat We Offer:\nWe offer a competitive compensation package designed to reward impact and incentivize growth. Our compensation philosophy is informed by our current valuation and recent industry data.\nSalary: $110k-185k plus performance based bonus\nEquity: Competitive equity package\nBenefits:\n401k with up to 4% matching\n\n28 days annual leave (vacation + holidays)\n\nHealth, dental, and vision coverage\n\nCatered lunches (Pittsburgh office)\n\nFlexible work arrangements\n\nVisa sponsorship available for exceptional candidates\n\nTypical Interview Process\nApplication review. We read everything; we’ll respond within 10 days.\nRecruiter Screen. We learn about you; you learn about us.\nTechnical interview or Hiring Manager Interview.\nRole related assesment\nExperience & culture interview\nReference checks. We’ll reach out to 3-5 references that you provide.\nOffer. If it’s mutual, we move fast.\nHow to Apply:\nSubmit your resume, link to your portfolio, and answer the questions on the application.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3928,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Annual leave","Equity","Flexible schedule","Performance based bonus"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Cybersecurity","LLM & Generative AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T12:24:55Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":34,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.613,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":44,"expected_fill_days":38,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/gray-swan-ai-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/gray-swan-ai-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T22:10:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3597,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":178416},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=178416"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgray-swan-ai-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgray-swan-ai-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgray-swan-ai-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/gray-swan-ai-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgray-swan-ai-software-engineer"}]}
