Job Specifications

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

In the past, only large enterprises needed to worry about security. Today, every startup holds significant customer data, and cybersecurity has become the top concern of 75% of all CEOs.

This means all developers need to ensure their platforms are secure, but the market is riddled with overcomplicated, expensive tools that aren’t fit for purpose. We are a no-BS, open-source, intuitive security platform that developers actually like to use.

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 our first Security Engineer, PCI & ASV, you will shape our PCI and ASV offering, work directly with customers, and become certified with our support.

Responsibilities

Lead the setup and ongoing operation of Aikido’s PCI DSS ASV program

Drive our own ASV certification and keep it compliant year over year

Work directly with customers to help them pass PCI DSS requirements

Coordinate and manage vulnerability scans, reports, and remediation guidance

Act as the main point of contact for PCI-related customer questions

Collaborate with auditors and external compliance partners

Translate PCI requirements into practical steps for the product and customers

Minimum three years of information security experience

At least one year of hands-on experience with vulnerability scanning, pentesting, or application security

Familiarity with PCI DSS and compliance-driven security work

Willingness and ability to obtain PCI SSC ASV-related certifications with our support

Comfortable working directly with customers in a consultative role

Structured, detail-oriented, and able to run long-lived compliance processes

Certifications like CISSP, CISM, or CISA are a plus but not required.

What you can expect:

High-impact position in a fast-growing company.

Fast growth of responsibility.

Competitive salary package.

A company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere (see our culture page on the website for more details).

Flexibility in working hours

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