Job description

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 and a long runway ahead. We’re building toward self-securing software. Join an all-star team. Take real ownership. Push boundaries. Build things that matter.

As part of Professional Services, you’ll own the successful delivery of Aikido for US customers with more complex requirements. You’ll combine technical expertise with strong project management to coordinate all parties involved and get customers live, enabled, and successful.

Responsibilities

• Own projects from kickoff through successful delivery.

• Manage scope, milestones, stakeholders, dependencies, and timelines.

• Coordinate technical delivery across the customer, Aikido, and other stakeholders.

• Coordinate hardware dependencies where relevant.

• Deliver technical training, runbooks, and architecture documentation.

• Identify blockers early and drive them to resolution.

• Strong technical background with enterprise software and APIs.

• Excellent project management skills for complex implementations.

• Able to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Highly organized, pragmatic, and comfortable managing multiple projects.

• Comfortable in a fast-moving environment with high ownership.

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.
