Graphic Designer

🌍 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.

We’re looking for a Graphic Designer to help shape how the world sees Aikido. You’ll lead design for new launches, campaigns, assets, and creative projects that bring our “no-BS security” brand to life, across every channel where developers, partners, and customers meet us.

This role isn’t about endless asset resizing or pixel-pushing. It’s about crafting clean, striking visuals that make complex security ideas instantly clear and unmistakably Aikido.

Responsibilities

• Drive creative direction for launches, campaigns, and brand initiatives.

• Design assets across digital, print, event, and social channels (think: website visuals, ads, product graphics, and campaign collateral).

• Work closely with Aikido’s brand & web designers, ensuring everything we ship looks cohesive, sharp, and no-BS.

• Collaborate closely with marketing, product, and partnerships on visual storytelling and go-to-market materials.

• Manage design projects end-to-end: from concept and briefing to delivery, feedback, and iteration.

• Ability to translate complex concepts to easily understandable visuals
