Forward Deployed Engineer

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.

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 forward-deployed engineer to help enterprise customers successfully deploy and operationalize our newly launched AI-powered pentest product into their environments.

What you'll do:

• Own enterprise deployments end-to-end: from first install to a stable, healthy setup
• Debug incidents directly in customer environments (Docker, Postgres, networking, agents, etc.)
• Handle complex enterprise environments: proxies, firewalls, egress rules, internal CAs, air-gapped setups, and custom security requirements
• Build and adapt integrations when needed (SSO, IdP, internal PKI, custom setups)
• Guide customers through implementation and initial usage in complex environments
• React to gaps in our system by engaging in R&D to enhance our agentic workflows
