What the role involves
Find your maximum velocity.
SafetyKit is group of engineers, designers, and operators committed to deploying AI into the world's largest companies as quickly as possible.
It's going to happen, and we're not going to watch it from the sidelines.
We're obsessive builders. We couldn't stop coding if we tried. We chose SafetyKit over cushy big tech jobs because we're tired of moving at the speed of consensus. We want to know what our maximum velocity is.
We're not afraid of big customers, high scale, and high expectations. We know that impact is denominated in dollars — we care about creating real, visible economic change inside the world's largest companies.
We want to learn from the best. We're former and future founders. Some of us are pedigreed (Stripe, Netflix, MIT, Yale), some of us aren't. Some of us are 14-year staff engineers, some of us are on day one.
It's working — some of the biggest companies in the world depend on the work we do every day. But it's still early. 99.9% of the value we'll ever produce is ahead of us.
If this sounds like the life you want to live, let's talk.
What we care about
Speed up.
The future is waiting on us. Don’t do tomorrow what you can do today. Find the minimum effective dose and move on to the next problem.
Obsess.
Reality has a surprising amount of detail. Go deeper. Love your work — even the stuff that other people find unbearably boring
Decouple and trust.
We are a tightly-bound team of autonomous operators. We maintain a high bar so we can move fast with high trust. We support and teach each other every day.
Some of our past interns
Built AI agents to autonomously investigate signup flows
Built a classifier to determine if marketplace products are drop-shipped
Built a classifier to identify IP violations deployed on some of the world’s largest marketplaces

What they ask for
About SafetyKit
SafetyKit's AI agents do the dirty work for big tech and finance companies so humans don't have to. Today companies rely on armies of low-paid outsourced humans to protect their platforms from fraud, harassment, and crime. It’s super important work, but the jobs are difficult and sometimes traumatizing, and it’s impossible to keep up. Our mission is to end this manual toil. We learned this domain first-hand at Stripe and Airbnb, where first we built software for human reviewers, and then built models to replace them. We’re a group of engineers from Stripe, Meta, Netflix, MIT, and Princeton that love language models and unironically love B2B SaaS. We know the economy is going to be rearranged over the next 4 years and we want to be in the driver’s seat. We build vertical AI that works and have some of the world’s largest companies as paying customers. Patreon, Eventbrite, Upwork, Character.ai, Substack, Faire, along with a $10B+ marketplace, a $100B+ payments company, and more rely on SafetyKit in production.
