4+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, Platform Engineering, or similar.

## Description

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.
As our Site Reliability Engineer, you'll make sure Aikido stays fast, reliable, and scalable as we grow. You'll own critical infrastructure across AWS, databases, observability, and production operations.
Responsibilities
Help us scale our systems as Aikido grows.
Help us stay online and keep production reliable.
Work across many different technologies and parts of our stack.
Find and fix reliability and performance problems before they become problems for customers.
Automate repetitive operational work wherever possible.
Jump in when things break, figure out what happened, and make sure it doesn't happen again.
