Job description

Location: San Francisco

We’re making security suck less for developers.

Security tools haven’t kept up with how software is built today. They interrupt teams, slow releases, and turn security into a bottleneck instead of a capability. We built Aikido to change that. Aikido builds developer-first security products that reduce real risk without getting in the way of shipping software. We focus on what actually matters and automate the rest.

We’re taking on legacy security tools teams have been stuck with, and we’re winning. If you want to help us take market share and build products developers actually enjoy using, you’re in the right place.

Founded in 2022 by third-time founders, Aikido has $85M in the bank, a long runway ahead, and unicorn status. We’re building toward self-securing software. Join an all-star team. Take real ownership. Push boundaries. Build things that matter.

We’re looking for a Cloud Product Marketeer to help Aikido show up in the cloud and security community in a way that actually resonates. This role sits between product and the community, helping engineers, developers, and security teams understand what we’re building and why it matters. You’ll take complex ideas across code → cloud → runtime security and turn them into content, conversations, and real engagement with the community.

Responsibilities

• Break down Aikido’s platform into clear, useful explanations for developers and security teams
• Turn complex cloud and security concepts (runtime, Kubernetes, etc.) into content people actually understand
• Create demos, walkthroughs, and technical deep dives
• Be active in cloud, DevOps, and security communities (online + in-person), including speaking at events (KubeCon, AWS re:Inforce, fwd:CloudSec, etc.)
• Build relationships with engineers, security practitioners, and creators
• Write blogs, guides, and research-driven content, including real-world security insights and examples
• Help get Aikido in front of the right audiences in a credible way
• Partner with product, growth, and sales to shape how we show up and explain what we do
• Share feedback from the field to help shape product direction and messaging

• You have a strong product marketing background at a developer-focused company

• A solid grasp of product positioning and go-to-market strategies, especially around product-led growth
• Experience crafting compelling narratives and marketing materials for technical audiences
• Exceptional storytelling abilities, both written and verbal
• Experience in security, DevOps, or DevSecOps is a must

What you can expect

• Short decision lines. Big ownership. Shape the projects that matter and ship fast
• Grow as fast as we do. Take on more, own more, and carve out your own path
• Top-tier tech pay and equity
• High trust, strong values, zero corporate BS
• Flexibility in working hours
• A company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere
  

We hire for talent, drive, and potential. Everything else is noise
