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 75% 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.

Founded in 2022 by third-time serial founders, we're set on getting security done for devs. This is a chance to join an all-star team early, take ownership, and push boundaries. We’re growing fast, expanding globally and looking for people who can help us keep that going.

We’re looking for an entrepreneurial Account Executive to kickstart our presence in Australia and New Zealand.
