🌍 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 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. Take real ownership. Push boundaries. Build things that matter.

We are entering a major growth phase. As we scale, our footprint in the enterprise market is expanding rapidly. We are looking for our first Product Manager (Enterprise) to build our enterprise product function from the ground up, bridge the gap between heavy-hitting enterprise clients and our engineering teams, and ensure we scale without losing our product-led soul.

Responsibilities:

• Prioritize key customer problems.

• Incorporate customer insights into the roadmap

• Ensure quality and drive improvements.

• Establish and scale Aikido’s enterprise function from scratch, managing relationships

• Masterfully negotiate customer requests.

• Align enterprise partners with our core product vision

• Support high-stakes enterprise sales cycles (including $1M+ target deals by year-end) by delivering heavy-hitting roadmap presentations to enterprise stakeholders.

• Translate enterprise requirements into actionable product feedback, maintaining a tight loop with our Head of Product, sales, and dev teams.

• You have a proven track record of building or scaling an enterprise arm at a fast-growing software company.

• A solid background in cybersecurity or security software is a must.

• You are a master at managing expectations. You know exactly how to say "no" to a high-value customer while leaving them feeling heard and valued.

• Deep product curiosity to learn the entire Aikido platform rapidly. A background in Sales Engineering or as a tech lead with commercial exposure is a massive plus.

• Ready to operate autonomously across time zones (especially handling US-based enterprise clients) and thrive under direct accountability.

• Preferably lives in Belgium or Chicago

What you can expect

• Short decision lines. 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.

• Top-tier tech pay and equity.

• High trust, strong values, zero corporate BS.

• Flexibility in working hours.

• A company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere.

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