Key skills for this role
You will own all of AIWI's technology: architecture, implementation, deployment, security, and maintenance. Delivery will be hands-on and you will manage a budget for executing items defined on your roadmap.
You will work closely with the founders, Head of Security, and translate requirements from our operations, research, and advocacy teams into working systems. The work is demanding, sensitive, and consequential; conviction in our mission is essential.
We support individuals working at the frontier of AI. Most high-stakes moments in AI over the coming years will involve frontier company insiders having and raising concerns: within companies, to regulators, or through other pathways.
Those insiders tell us they face enormous barriers along the “concern raising” path -- from detecting concerns to whether and how to voice them with maximum impact and minimal risk, which even legally protected whistleblowing can carry.
These barriers mean that critical disclosures may not occur at all or sub-optimally. This could be catastrophic. As these moments may be critically high-leverage, making them “go well” has dramatically outsized impact.
We believe we can increase the likelihood of those moments "going well": AIWI is an independent non-profit that exists to ensure that insiders at frontier AI companies can speak up safely and effectively when they see something that should be addressed.
We urgently require stronger technological capacity. Your work will directly contribute to improving the safety of whistleblowers and the impact of their disclosures in frontier AI that may move our joint trajectory.

Internal tooling. We operate in a highly sensitive environment. Many commercial SaaS products, and hosted AI models in particular, do not meet our security and data sovereignty requirements. You will build and operate our self-hosted, primarily OSS stack end to end: A secure CRM tailored to our needs, state-of-the-art self-hosted AI models and agent systems integrated into knowledge management, call recording, communication tooling, other OSS software we self host, and in-house development of news tracking solutions. If you are excited about designing architecture that allows air-gapping and decentralized access, this role is for you.
External-facing technology. You take offerings from prototype to production end-to-end: Zero-knowledge proof solutions for anonymous coordination, interactive scenario simulators, or automated legislation trackers. Projects can span months or require rapid 3-day delivery. You will also oversee the tech-side of our website. Your solutions will directly drive the impact and safety of AI whistleblowers.
This means you will frequently handle multiple projects simultaneously. You will be the first non-volunteer engineer working on AIWI dedicated technology. Across all areas, security is foundational. You will work closely here with our Head of Security.
