Senior Software Engineer (Go)

🌍 We're making security suck less for developers.

Security tools haven't kept pace with modern software development. They interrupt teams, slow releases, and turn security into a bottleneck. Aikido is changing that. We build developer-first security products that reduce real risk without getting in the way of shipping software. We focus on what matters, automate the rest, and make security a capability, not a blocker.

Founded in 2022 by third-time founders, Aikido has $85M in the bank and the runway to build for the long term.

Following our acquisition of Root.io in June 2026, the team formed Agentic Factory : the business unit moving beyond vulnerability detection to automated remediation.

We are looking for an Backend Engineer to build and own the systems that drive this.
