Job Specifications

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 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.

As a full-stack developer, you'll be working closely with the Aikido team.

Main responsibilities:

Write modular, testable, and efficient code using Vue.js, JavaScript, Node.js, Python & PHP and other languages.
Managing AWS and lambda deployments
Design and implement high-availability applications
Discover, plan, write, document and maintain new features
Understand the fundamental design principles behind a scalable application
Understand the nature of asynchronous programming and its quirks and workarounds
Optimize the product code for speed where required

We're looking for someone who is:

Really comfortable in a very entrepreneurial environment
Can think along with architectural and impactful decisions
Willing to learn new languages when the product requires it
Comfortable researching and tackling hard problems and algorithms (eg parsing with ASTs)
Willing to experiment (and also willing to perhaps throw away some code)
Medior to Senior
Fluent in English
Candidates must be located in or able to work within CEST timezone.

What you can expect

High-impact position in a fast-growing company
Competitive salary package
A company that sticks to their values in an open and informal atmosphere (see our culture-page on the website for more details)
A diverse and inclusive organization that is proud to be an equal opportunity employer
Flexibility in working hours

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