🌍 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.
Turn security jargon into clear, useful content. You’ll partner with our marketing, product, and dev teams to master the tech, then write blogs, guides, and tutorials for developers. Help us simplify software security for the people who build software.
Responsibilities:
Own technical content end to end: keyword research, ideation, writing, publishing, and optimization. No handoffs.
Write original, technically deep content for developers, platform engineers, and technical decision-makers. Think comparisons, explainers, integration guides, benchmarks, and long-form tutorials.
Apply senior-level SEO: programmatic content, topical authority, internal linking, search intent mapping, and winning competitive SERPs.
Build content workflows and automations that let a small team ship like a large one. Use tools like AirOps, Clay, n8n, or custom scripts for research, briefs, drafts, and distribution.
Work with design on visuals that help the reader: architecture diagrams, code snippets, comparison tables. No decoration.
Audit and optimize existing content using performance data. Own the numbers, not just the words.
Partner with product and engineering to turn technical knowledge into content that ranks, converts, and builds trust.
Real technical chops. You can read code, understand APIs, and discuss infrastructure without leaning on an SME for every paragraph. Ideally you’ve shipped software or worked in a technical role. Technical writer first, content marketer second.
Proven senior-level SEO skills. A track record of content programs that drove measurable organic growth in technical or B2B markets.
A portfolio of writing for developers or engineers: blog posts, tutorials, docs, technical guides.
Experience building content workflows with automation tools, AI-assisted pipelines, or custom scripts. You see a repetitive process and systematize it.
Exceptional grammar, research, fact-checking, and editing. You self-edit to a publishable standard.
Comfortable in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment. You figure things out without waiting to be told.
Native-level English.
Nice to have
Experience with AI/ML tooling, developer tools, cloud infrastructure, or security.
