AquilaX is a small, mission-driven team building the AppSec platform we wish had existed when we were security engineers. If you're passionate about security and great developer tools β let's talk.
Security engineers building for security engineers
Every line of code we ship makes real software more secure. We're not building yet another CRM β we're protecting the software that runs banks, hospitals, and governments.
Work from anywhere. We're a distributed team and we've built our culture around async-first communication and deep work. No performative office hours.
We're building self-learning security AI that nobody else has built. If you want to work at the intersection of AI and application security, this is it.
We offer meaningful equity. As an early-stage company, the people who join now are the ones who build the foundation β and share in what we create together.
Security moves fast. We invest in your learning β conferences (DEF CON, Black Hat, BSides), courses, certifications, and anything that makes you better at your craft.
No committee approvals for every line of code. No six-month roadmap reviews. We ship, we learn, we iterate. You'll have real ownership over what you build.
What you'll be working with at AquilaX
Join us and help build the future of application security
You'll design and build the core scanning capabilities of AquilaX's platform β writing the detection logic, tuning the analysis engines, and helping define how Securitron AI makes security decisions. This is where AppSec depth meets engineering excellence.
You'll work on Securitron AI β the self-learning engine at the heart of AquilaX. This means building RAG pipelines for security knowledge, fine-tuning LLMs for vulnerability detection, and creating the per-organization learning systems that make AquilaX's false positive rate near-zero.
Security tools fail when developers don't use them. You'll build the interfaces that make AquilaX's findings accessible, actionable, and integrated into developer workflows. Our UI should make security as natural as writing code.
You'll keep AquilaX's own infrastructure secure and help customers integrate AquilaX into their CI/CD pipelines. You're both the security practitioner keeping our platform hardened and the integration expert helping customers get maximum value from AquilaX.
You'll stay ahead of the threat landscape β researching new attack patterns, developing proof-of-concepts for new vulnerability classes, and translating findings into detections that protect AquilaX customers before the community is aware of the threat.
You'll be the technical face of AquilaX for enterprise customers β running demos, answering deep security questions, designing deployment architectures, and ensuring customers get maximum value from their AquilaX investment.
