Senior Cloud Engineer (GovCloud / FedRAMP) at Aikido Security, Boston

Senior Cloud Engineer (GovCloud / FedRAMP) at Aikido Security in Boston. Est. up to $130k. Apply with swipeandhired.

🌍 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.

As a Senior Cloud Engineer at Aikido, you’ll build and operate the cloud systems behind our FedRAMP environment. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who writes application and infrastructure code, understands how production cloud platforms work, and is comfortable operating what they build.
You’ll work across the boundary between software and infrastructure: adapting Aikido’s platform for AWS GovCloud, building automation and services, improving reliability, and troubleshooting real product issues. You’ll collaborate with our broader engineering team while taking practical ownership of the systems that support our federal customers.

We’re looking for a strong general-purpose engineer with roughly 5-7 years of experience, or hands-on ability. You may have come up through software engineering, cloud engineering, or DevOps. What matters most is that you can write code, understand cloud infrastructure, and get things done in production.
