🌍 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.

So we are looking for you, an experienced content writer with a cloud security background. You'll translate security industry slang and acronyms into understandable language.

You will work closely together with our marketing, product & dev team - to make sure you deeply understand the tech & product. Then, you’ll use that knowledge to write valuable content for our users (blogs, guides, tutorials, articles,...).

Our mission is to simplify software security for busy developers. In that sense, we're at the forefront of an "accessible" security industry, and so the work you do will be seen and felt by a huge number of people.

As a Content Writer at Aikido, you will:

• Primarily focus on writing high-quality, original and engaging content for cloud sec engineers/devsecops leads/CISOs. This will be for our academy, which means educational pieces about the industry (Think security checklists, explainers, comparison pieces, guides,...), whitepapers, web pages, etc...

• You'll work closely with our content team and in-house SEO expert to prioritize tasks.

• Work closely with our designers to make sure all content has great visuals that enhance the reader's experience.

• Work with our editor to ensure the copy meets our language, structure, tone of voice.

• Continuously optimize our online content for SEO performance.

• You have a technical understanding of cloud security & can understand our technology & products. You should be able to discuss this on a technical level.

• You have great writing skills & are experienced in writing blogs, articles, tutorials, docs, how-to guides, etc.

• You know SEO and understand what works.

• Exceptional grammar, research, fact-checking, writing, and editing skills.

• You are comfortable in a very entrepreneurial environment.

• Plus: experience with AppSec or other dev tooling

What you can expect:

• High-impact position in a fast-growing company

You will be recruited based on competencies. Qualities of people are decisive, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic origin, age, sexual orientation, or disability.
