Content Engineer

🌍 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.

Turn security jargon into clear, useful content. You’ll partner with our marketing, product, and dev teams to master the tech, then write blogs, guides, and tutorials for developers. Help us simplify software security for the people who build software.

Responsibilities:

• Own technical content end to end: keyword research, ideation, writing, publishing, and optimization. No handoffs.

• Write original, technically deep content for developers, platform engineers, and technical decision-makers. Think comparisons, explainers, integration guides, benchmarks, and long-form tutorials.

• Apply senior-level SEO: programmatic content, topical authority, internal linking, search intent mapping, and winning competitive SERPs.

• Build content workflows and automations that let a small team ship like a large one. Use tools like AirOps, Clay, n8n, or custom scripts for research, briefs, drafts, and distribution.

• Work with design on visuals that help the reader: architecture diagrams, code snippets, comparison tables. No decoration.

• Audit and optimize existing content using performance data. Own the numbers, not just the words.

• Partner with product and engineering to turn technical knowledge into content that ranks, converts, and builds trust.
