Thousands of developers use Aikido to secure their applications, from early-stage startups to large group companies. As quickly as we’re growing, we’ve barely scratched the surface of what we can achieve in effectively communicating our value, product, and vision: to democratize access to the high-barrier security industry for developers worldwide.

For most, our web presence is the first impression of Aikido. No matter where a visitor lands— aikido.dev, our blog, our open source repos, subsites, documentation—we need to create a cohesive interactive experience that reflects the practical, all-in-one, and “no BS” nature of Aikido Security.

We have both high expectations and a demanding, technically-savvy audience of developers. Our web presence must not only inform and guide but also captivate visually. Most of all, it should meet our visitors at their point of need and provide a seamless transition to immediately connecting their repo and getting secured with Aikido. Aikido is a freemium, product-led-growth product.

We are seeking an experienced Design Engineer - a front-end-focused full stack engineer - who excels at the crossroads of design, code, and content.

As the bridge between marketing and product, you’ll craft impactful campaigns and experiences that seamlessly guide developers into becoming Aikido users.

As a Design Engineer at Aikido, you will:

• Work directly with the marketing team on website development and campaign performance strategies
• Join forces with our marketing and growth team to shape our content infrastructure, ensuring Aikido’s content hits the right notes with our tech-savvy developer audience, and integrate with the tools that power Aikido’s go-to-market plans
• Use your understanding of user behavior, funnels, marketing channels, and mobile to fuel creative design
• Be in the drivers seat for the complete journey of critical marketing initiatives, from scoping to implementation, delivery, and ongoing maintenance
• Bring your technical insights to decision-making with marketing
• Anticipate content publishing needs and integrate desired functionalities into the design
• Manage marketing website, CMS, and all supporting vendors and technologies, ensuring optimal site performance, reliability, and security
• Ensuring website has up-to-date and free flowing analytics, conversions, actions, and events
• Refactor/redesign older experiences
• Stay ahead of the game by keeping up to date with the latest in web development trends and approaches, constantly pushing the boundaries of what's next to set our web presence apart

• Languages: Fullstack JavaScript, CSS (frameworks, animation, layouts), Vue.js
• Strong programming skills, experience with application development, optimizing site performance, SEO best practices, and excellent troubleshooting skills
• Experience with Webflow and Figma
• Experience implementing advanced interaction/animations
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English with a keen eye for detail
• Proven experience working as a Front-End Developer, Web Developer, Design Engineer, or similar role in a SaaS company
• You are someone who loves to experiment, is comfortable in chaos, and will hit the ground sprinting

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.
