Incident Response Endpoint Security Organization

Job Specifications

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.

We’re looking for a hands-on IT Operations Manager to own and scale our internal IT operations. You’ll take full responsibility for MDM, laptops, access management, and IT security foundations so our team can move fast without breaking things.

Responsibilities

Own internal IT operations including hardware provisioning and full laptop lifecycle

Manage endpoint security and MDM, enforce baselines, and track patch status

Operate identity and access management including onboarding, offboarding, and access control

Secure our remote workforce across network and email security

Maintain compliance reporting, support ISO27001 or SOC2 controls, and collaborate with the Compliance Manager

5+ years in IT operations or IT security operations in a modern SaaS environment

Strong hands-on MDM and endpoint management experience

Experience operating enterprise IdP and access management systems

Solid knowledge of network and email security

Familiar with incident response processes and compliance frameworks such as ISO27001 or SOC2

What you can expect:

High-impact position in a fast-growing company.

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).

A diverse and inclusive organization that is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer.

Flexibility in working hours

We value competencies above all. The qualities of our people are what count, irrespective of gender, religion, ethnic origin, age, sexual orientation, or disability.

We focus on finding what matters, so you aren’t bothered by what doesn’t. Win customers, grow up-market, and ace compliance. Aikido makes security simple for SMEs and doable for developers without industry jargon, red tape, and frankly, BS. Know more
