Thousands of developers use Aikido to secure their applications. 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 take on the crusty cyber industry and bring 'no bullshit' security developers worldwide.

For most, our web presence is the first impression of Aikido. We are almost 100% inbound led — developers find us via marketing efforts, landing on aikido.dev, our blog, our open source repos, sub-sites, documentation and jumping right into our product. 

We need to create a cohesive inbound experience that reflects the practical, all-in-one, and “no BS” nature of Aikido.

We have both high expectations and a demanding, technically-savvy audience of developers. Our content must not only inform and guide but also captivate visually. Most of all, it should meet our users at their point of need and provide them a delightful, helpful, or no-bullshit experience. 

Having done most of our written content with our team & freelancers, we are now looking to hire a seasoned professional 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 anbd acronyms into understandable developer language. No bullshit. TL;DR. That's what we're about.
