Summary of the Growth Marketing Manager US job at Aikido Security

Location: San Francisco

🌍 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, a long runway ahead, and unicorn status. We’re building toward self-securing software. Join an all-star team. Take real ownership. Push boundaries. Build things that matter.

We’re looking for a Growth Marketing Manager to help accelerate Aikido’s presence in North America. This role is focused on pipeline generation, brand visibility, and experimentation across growth channels. You’ll work closely with marketing, sales, and partnerships to find creative ways to get Aikido in front of developers and security teams.

Think influencer partnerships, unconventional campaigns, events, and out-of-home marketing, anything that drives awareness and pipeline.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll help shape Aikido's growth in the US market.
