Enterprise Key Account Executive US

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

Aikido is rebuilding the software security stack with a consolidated platform developers actually want to use. Most tools in the market are expensive, noisy, and slow. Aikido cuts through the nonsense. One platform, clear signals, real fixes, built for the teams shipping software every day.

This is a chance to join an all-star team early, take ownership, and push boundaries.

Our Enterprise Key Account Executive will drive new enterprise business, expand existing relationships, and secure long-term partnerships across engineering, DevOps, and security teams. This is a hands-on role that requires prospecting, deal leadership, and strategic account management, ensuring Aikido becomes a long-term, trusted security partner for developers and companies that build the internet.
