Description du poste

Job description

We’re taking on the crusty global cyber market, the "no-BS" security platform for devs.

In the past, only large enterprises needed to worry about security. Today, cybersecurity has become the top concern of all CEOs, from startups to enterprises.

This means more work for developers, who need to become security experts and ensure their platforms are secure. But it’s hard. The market is riddled with overcomplicated, expensive tools that aren’t fit for developers. So, we founded Aikido.

We are the no-bullsh*t security platform that developers actually like to use. One central platform that shows devs what matters and how to fix it, so they can get back to building.

Why work with us? Founded in 2022 by third‑time serial founders, with $25M funding in the bank, we’re dead set on getting security done for devs. This is a chance to join an all‑star team early, take ownership, and push boundaries.

As a Java developer, you’ll be working closely with the Aikido team.

Responsibilities:

• Write modular, testable, and efficient code using Java (and other languages)
• Design and implement high‑availability applications
• Discover, plan, write, document and maintain new features
• Understand the fundamental design principles behind a scalable application
• Understand the nature of asynchronous programming and its quirks and workarounds
• Optimize the product code for speed where required

Job requirements

• Really comfortable in a very entrepreneurial environment
• Can think along with architectural and impactful decisions
• Willing to learn new languages when the product requires it
• Comfortable researching and tackling hard problems and algorithms (eg parsing with ASTs)
• Willing to experiment (and also willing to perhaps throw away some code)
• Medior to Senior:
• We are going fast and need experienced people that can hit the ground running with us.
• You need to be comfortable with the above mentioned languages and tech‑stack.
• No stranger to implementing automated testing platforms and unit tests
• Fluent in English
• Candidates must be located in or able to work within CEST timezone.

What you can expect

• High‑impact position in a fast‑growing company
• Competitive salary package
• A company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere (see our culture page on the website for more details)
• A diverse and inclusive organization that is proud to be an equal opportunity employer
• Flexibility in working hours

You will be recruited based on competencies. The qualities of people are decisive, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic origin, age, sexual orientation, or any disability.
