Jobbeschreibung

Overview

We’re taking on the crusty global cyber market with a no-BS security platform for developers. In the past, only large enterprises needed to worry about security. Today, cybersecurity has become a top concern for CEOs across startups to enterprises. This means more work for developers, who need to become security experts and ensure their platforms are secure. The market is crowded 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 are focused on delivering security for devs. This is a chance to join an all-star team early, take ownership, and push boundaries.
