Cloud Security Engineer

We're looking for a Cloud Security Engineer. You'll build new security capabilities for Kubernetes, Linux hosts and cloud environments, research emerging technologies and attack techniques, and ship end-to-end product features together with the product and engineering teams.

About Aikido Security

• 🌍 We’re making security suck less for developers.
• 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 that 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.

Responsibilities

• Take real ownership.
• Push boundaries.
• Build things that matter.
• Build end-to-end features across Aikido's cloud security products (CSPM, Kubernetes Security, Cloud Inventory, Reachability and more) Cover Kubernetes, containers, and IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation, and similar).
• Ship production-ready user-facing functionality across the entire stack
• Research AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Kubernetes to turn complex cloud concepts into intuitive security features
• Work directly with customers to understand real-world cloud security problems and help solve them Collaborate with the rest of engineering to integrate cloud capabilities into the core
• Aikido platform Take ownership of features from idea to production, including testing, documentation and maintenance
• Strong software engineering experience with Go (or another backend language and willingness to learn Go) Experience building production software, not just operating infrastructure

What you can expect

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

Requirements

• Security tools haven’t kept up with how software is built today.
• Comfortable working across the stack when a feature requires it Solid understanding of at least one public cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) Experience with Kubernetes and modern cloud-native architectures
• Curious enough to research unfamiliar cloud services and quickly turn that knowledge into product features
• Comfortable discussing technical problems directly with customers

Really comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment

• Willing to experiment, iterate quickly, and occasionally throw code away Mid-level to Senior: we're growing fast and need people who can own features independently
• Fluent in English and able to work within the CEST timezone
• Short decision lines.
• Flexibility in working hours.
• A company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere.

Benefits

• Top-tier tech pay and equity.
• High trust, strong values, zero corporate BS.
