🌍 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.
The future of testing is autonomous. We are launching a brand new AI pentesting product - Aikido Attack - with huge ambition. This market is multi-billion in size, ripe for disruption, and has the potential to outgrow our existing product lines. We are still in a true zero-to-one phase, where product-market fit needs to be shaped in an innovative and fast environment.
We need a Technical Product Marketer who has run real tests before, understands how attackers think, and can translate that into clean positioning, killer content, and make sure developers see us as their go-to security tool.
What you’ll be doing:
Create compelling content AI x offensive security for developers & security professionals
Craft the Aikido Attack narrative and the stories of our users by launching narrative-rich assets such as customer stories, sales collateral, and videos that showcase Aikido’s value proposition
Working closely with the product team to drive go-to-market for new and existing features
Create and execute marketing campaigns for Aikido’s product initiatives, driving awareness and adoption
You have a strong technical background at a security or developer-focused company
A solid grasp of product positioning and go-to-market strategies, especially around product-led growth

Experience in security, penetration testing, DevOps, or DevSecOps is a plus
