🌍 We’re taking on the crusty global cyber market, the "no-BS" security platform for devs.

In the past, only large enterprises needed to worry about security. Today, cybersecurity has become the top concern of 75% of all CEOs, from startups to enterprises.

This means more work for developers, who need to become security experts and ensure their platforms are secure. But it’s hard. The market is riddled with overcomplicated, expensive tools that aren’t fit for developers. So, we founded Aikido.

We are the no-bullsh*t security platform that developers actually like to use. One central platform that shows devs what matters and how to fix it, so they can get back to building.

Why work with us? Founded in 2022 by third-time serial founders, with $25M funding in the bank, we're dead set on getting security done for devs. This is a chance to join an all-star team early, take ownership, and push boundaries.

We need a Security Researcher to identify threats, analyze malware & code, and improve platform security.

Responsibilities

• Analyze code to identify vulnerabilities and assess risks.

• Write rules to detect vulnerable code in our tools.

• Research and analyze malware samples to improve detection.

• Clearly communicate findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Assist with small programming tasks when needed.

• Broad knowledge of programming languages.

• Strong understanding of security principles, standards, and best practices.

• Nice to have: experience with hacking or penetration testing.

• Quick learner, flexible, and eager to grow.

What can you expect

• A high-impact role in a fast-growing startup.

• Fast-tracked growth opportunities and increasing responsibilities.

• A competitive salary package.

• A company culture that values openness, informality, and getting sh*t done (see our culture page).

• Flexible working hours and a hybrid work setup.

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