Developer Content Writer (SEO-Driven)

🌍 We’re taking on the crusty global cyber market, the "no-BS" security platform for devs.

In the past, only large enterprises needed to worry about security. Today,cybersecurity has become the top concern of 75% of all CEOs, from startups to enterprises.

This means more work for developers, who need to become security experts and ensure their platforms are secure. But it’s hard. The market is riddled with overcomplicated, expensive tools that aren’t fit for developers. So, we founded Aikido.

We are the no-bullsh*t security platform that developers actually like to use. One central platform that shows devs what matters and how to fix it, so they can get back to building.

Why work with us? Founded in 2022 by third-time serial founders, with $25M funding in the bank, we're dead set on getting security done for devs. This is a chance to join an all-star team early, take ownership, and push boundaries.

Aikido is looking for an SEO-driven Content Writer who can turn our technical depth, product insights, and no-BS voice into content that ranks and resonates.

This is a writing-first, editorial-heavy role. You’ll collaborate closely with our Technical SEO Strategist and Head of Content Marketing - as well as refining work from external writers - to build a high-quality organic content engine.

Your work will span across updating existing content, producing new search-optimized pieces, rewriting weak pages, editing freelancer outputs, and shaping landing pages, guides, comparison pages, and product-led explainers.

This is a great role for a strong writer with some SEO foundation who wants to level up in technical storytelling, product-focused content, and fast-paced startup execution.

Responsibilities

• Write SEO-informed content for landing pages, blogs, guides, comparison pages, and product explainers.

• Refresh, rewrite, and improve existing pages to boost clarity, accuracy, and search performance.

• Edit and refine content from external freelancers to match our voice and standards.

• Work closely with our Technical SEO Strategist to align content with keyword insights and search intent.

• Collaborate with the Head of Content Marketing to keep tone, messaging, and narratives consistent.

• Translate technical or security concepts into clear, useful content (with support from product & engineering).

• Suggest new content ideas based on SEO guidance, industry trends, and product gaps.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of experience writing content for dev tools and/or cybersecurity

• Strong writing fundamentals: clarity, tone control, structure, and the ability to simplify the complex.

• Understanding of how content impacts SEO (intent, readability, optimization, internal linking).

• Editorial skills: comfortable rewriting, editing, and elevating existing content.

• Ability to follow brand voice guidelines and incorporate feedback.

• Curiosity and willingness to learn deeper SEO practices and technical subjects.

• Collaborative mindset and comfortable working cross-functionally.

• We encourage smart use of AI for research, outlining, competitive analysis, technical exploration, and revision - but expect all final language to be human-crafted.

Nice to Have

• Experience working in Webflow.

• Experience in a fast-moving startup.

• Familiarity with developer workflows, DevSecOps, or cybersecurity concepts

What you can expect:

• High-impact position in a fast-growing company.

• Fast growth of responsibility.

• 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).

• Flexibility in working hours.

You will be recruited based on competencies. Qualities of people are decisive, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic origin, age, sexual orientation, or disability.
