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 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.
  • Build things that matter.
  • As our Site Reliability Engineer , you’ll make sure Aikido stays fast, reliable, and scalable as we grow.
  • You’ll own critical infrastructure across AWS, databases, observability, and production operations.

  • Find and fix reliability and performance problems before they become problems for customers.
  • Automate repetitive operational work wherever possible.
  • Jump in when things break, figure out what happened, and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
  • Able to troubleshoot complex problems across different technologies.
  • Strong automation skills and a bias toward fixing things properly.
  • 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.
