Backend Developer (Autofix)

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.
