About the Company
- 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.
- 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.
Equal Opportunity
- A diverse and inclusive organization that is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
- You will be recruited based on competencies. Qualities of people are decisive, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic origin, age, sexual orientation or any disability.
