Account Executive (New Product Founding AE)

Hybrid Chicago, United States

馃實 We鈥檙e making security suck less for developers.

Security tools haven鈥檛 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鈥檙e taking on legacy security tools teams have been stuck with, and we鈥檙e winning. If you want to help us take market share and build products developers actually enjoy using, you鈥檙e in the right place.


Founded in 2022 by third-time founders, Aikido has $85M in the bank and a long runway ahead. We鈥檙e building toward self-securing software. Join an all-star team. Take real ownership. Push boundaries. Build things that matter.

We are launching a brand new product with huge ambitions. We're looking for an all-round salesperson to join our fast-growing startup. Since we're still quite small, you'll be wearing multiple hats, and helping out on many commercial initiatives.
