About the role

aikidosecurity's standard text

🌍 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.

As our Site Reliability Engineer, you’ll make sure Aikido stays fast, reliable, and scalable as we grow. You’ll own critical infrastructure across AWS, databases, observability, and production operations.

Responsibilities

  • Help us scale our systems as Aikido grows.
  • Help us stay online and keep production reliable.
  • Work across many different technologies and parts of our stack.
  • Find and fix reliability and performance problems before they become problems for customers.
  • Automate repetitive operational work wherever possible.
  • Jump in when things break, figure out what happened, and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
  • 4+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, Platform Engineering, or similar.
  • Strong experience running production systems in AWS.
  • Comfortable working with databases, networking, containers, and observability.
  • Able to troubleshoot complex problems across different technologies.
  • Strong automation skills and a bias toward fixing things properly.
  • Pragmatic, hands on, and comfortable owning systems that need to stay up.

What you can expect

  • Short decision lines. Big ownership. Shape the projects that matter and ship fast.
  • Grow as fast as we do. Take on more, own more, and carve out your own path.
  • Top-tier tech pay and equity.
  • High trust, strong values, zero corporate BS.
  • Flexibility in working hours.
  • A company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere.
