Customer security engineer (pentest)

🌍 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. Aikido’s pentesting product is now #1 in Europe, and customers need someone who thinks like a hacker. As a Customer Security Engineer (pentest), you’ll be the face customers talk to, owning white-glove delivery before, during and after every white box test. Responsibilities Guide customers end-to-end through their pentests (before, during, and after), helping them get maximum value from the product and ensuring smooth, high-quality engagements. Act as the primary technical point of contact for customers, answering deep technical questions around test setups, scope, results and validating potential false positives. Translate findings into action, advising customers on how to prioritize and effectively remediate discovered vulnerabilities in a way that fits their architecture and development workflows. Collaborate closely with the AI pentesting team, feeding real-world customer insights back into the product to improve accuracy, usability, and impact.

Hands-on pentesting experience Comfortable working directly with customers Strong application or infrastructure security skills Clear communicator, technical but human OSCP, OSWE, CREST, or similar is a plus What you can expect Short decision lines. Big ownership. Shape the projects that matter and ship fast. Grow as fast as we do. Take on more, own more, and carve out your own path. Top-tier tech pay and equity. High trust, strong values, zero corporate BS. Flexibility in working hours. A company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere. We hire for talent, drive, and potential. Everything else is noise.
