Talent Acquisition Partner US

🌍 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, a long runway ahead, and unicorn status. We’re building toward self-securing software. Join an all-star team. Take real ownership. Push boundaries. Build things that matter.

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Partner (GTM) to help us scale our go-to-market teams in the US. You’ll own hiring for roles like Account Executives, SDRs, Customer Success, Partnerships, and Marketing, working closely with leadership to build high-performing teams that drive revenue.

• Support hiring for key engineering roles as needed

• Partner closely with sales and GTM leadership to define hiring needs and ideal profiles

• Build strong outbound pipelines for high-priority roles (especially AEs and BDRs)

• Run structured, high-signal interview processes that move fast without lowering the bar

• Act as a strategic partner on headcount planning, role design, and hiring strategy

• Deliver a strong, no-BS candidate experience aligned with Aikido’s brand

• 5+ years of recruiting experience in a high-growth SaaS or startup environment

• Strong experience hiring GTM roles (AE, SDR, CS, partnerships, marketing)

• Proven ability to source and close competitive candidates

• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments

• Strong stakeholder management, able to push back and influence when needed

• High ownership mindset, you get things done without waiting for direction
