Full-Time Developer Content Writer

🌍 We’re taking on the crusty global cyber market, the “no-BS” security platform for devs.

In the past, only large enterprises needed to worry about security. Today, cybersecurity has become the top concern of 75% of all CEOs, from startups to enterprises.

This means more work for developers, who need to become security experts and ensure their platforms are secure. But it’s hard. The market is riddled with overcomplicated, expensive tools that aren’t fit for developers.

So, we founded Aikido.

We are the no-bullsh*t security platform that developers actually like to use. One central platform that shows devs what matters and how to fix it, so they can get back to building.

Why work with us?

Founded in 2022 by third-time serial founders, with $25M funding in the bank, we’re dead set on getting security done for devs. This is a chance to join an all-star team early, take ownership, and push boundaries.

Having done most of our written content with our team & freelancers, we are now looking to hire an experienced writer who can accelerate Aikido’s content.

So we are looking for you, an experienced developer content writer with a development background. (bonus for application security expertise).

You’ll write in “developer speak”, translating security industry slang and acronyms into understandable developer language. No bullshit. TL;DR. That’s what we’re about.

You will work closely together with our marketing, product & dev team – to make sure you deeply understand the tech & product. Then, you’ll use that knowledge to write valuable content for our users (blogs, guides, tutorials, articles, …).

Our mission is to simplify software security for busy developers. In that sense, we’re at the forefront of an “accessible” Application Security industry, and so the work you do will be seen and felt by a huge number of people.

As a Developer Content Writer at Aikido, you will:

• Primarily focus on writing high-quality, original and engaging content for developers. This can be in the form of blogs (Think security checklists, explainers, comparison pieces, guides, …), whitepapers, web pages, docs, emails, etc…
• Research & propose which areas or topics we need to provide content for.
• Work closely with our designers to make sure all content has great visuals that enhance the reader’s experience.
• Work with our editor to ensure the copy meets our language, structure, tone of voice.
• Continuously optimize our online content for SEO performance.

You have a technical understanding of development in general & can understand our technology & products. You should be able to discuss this on a technical level. (Bonus: have an understanding of Application Security.)

You have great writing skills & are experienced in writing blogs, articles, tutorials, docs, how-to guides, etc…

You know SEO and understand what works.

Exceptional grammar, research, fact-checking, writing, and editing skills.

You are comfortable in a very entrepreneurial environment.

Plus: experience with (Application) Security, DevOps or SecOps tools.

Fluent in English – native level.

What you can expect:

• High-impact position in a fast-growing company
• Competitive salary package
• A company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere (see our culture page on the website for more details)
• A diverse and inclusive organization that is proud to be an equal-opportunity employer
• Flexibility in working hours and remote-first culture

You will be recruited based on competencies. Qualities of people are decisive, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic origin, age, sexual orientation, or disability.
