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 that 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 Cloud Engineer to help scale Aikido's cloud platform. You build reliable infrastructure, automate everything possible, and make our platform secure, scalable, and easy to operate.

• Build and evolve our cloud infrastructure (AWS) using Infrastructure as Code
• Design, automate, and maintain secure, scalable production environments
• Improve CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows to ship faster with confidence
• Optimize reliability, observability, performance, and cloud costs across the platform
• Partner with engineering to solve infrastructure challenges and enable rapid product development

• Strong experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and modern cloud infrastructure
• Comfortable owning infrastructure decisions and operating production systems
• Really comfortable in a very entrepreneurial environment
• Strong scripting or programming skills (Go, Python, or TypeScript preferred)
• Willing to learn new technologies when the platform requires it
• Willing to experiment and continuously improve existing systems
• Medior to Senior: We are growing fast and need experienced people who can hit the ground running
• Experience with CI/CD, observability, monitoring, and infrastructure automation
• Fluent in English and able to work within the CEST timezone

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
