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.\nWe’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.\nFounded 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.\nWe are launching a brand new pentesting product with huge ambition. This market is multi-billion in size, ripe for disruption, and has the potential to outgrow our existing product lines. We are still in a true zero-to-one phase.\nAs our first Customer Security Engineer (pentest), you will own the end-to-end delivery of white-glove pentesting services by guiding customers before, during, and after tests and turning findings into clear, actionable next steps.\nResponsibilities\nGuide customers end-to-end through their pentests (before, during, and after), helping them get maximum value from the product and ensuring smooth, high-quality engagements.\n\nAct as the primary technical point of contact for customers, answering deep technical questions around test setups, scope, results and validating potential false positives.\n\nTranslate findings into action, advising customers on how to prioritize and effectively remediate discovered vulnerabilities in a way that fits their architecture and development workflows.\n\nCollaborate closely with the AI pentesting team, feeding real-world customer insights back into the product to improve accuracy, usability, and impact.\n\nRequirements\nHands-on pentesting experience\n\nComfortable working directly with customers\n\nStrong application or infrastructure security skills\n\nClear communicator, technical but human\n\nOSCP, OSWE, CREST, or similar is a plus\n\nWhat you can expect\nShort decision lines. Big ownership. Shape the projects that matter and ship fast.\n\nGrow as fast as we do. Take on more, own more, and carve out your own path.\n\nTop-tier tech pay and equity.\n\nHigh trust, strong values, zero corporate BS.\n\nFlexibility in working hours.\n\nA company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere.\n\nWe hire for talent, drive, and potential. Everything else is noise.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2678,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Belgium","iso":"BE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Penetration Testing","Information Security","Application Security","DevSecOps"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-01-16T18:36:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.187,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":290,"expected_fill_days":50,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/aikido-customer-security-engineer-pentest","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/aikido-customer-security-engineer-pentest.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T14:00:49Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19572,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":14042},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=14042"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Faikido-customer-security-engineer-pentest"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Faikido-customer-security-engineer-pentest"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Faikido-customer-security-engineer-pentest"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/aikido-customer-security-engineer-pentest\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Faikido-customer-security-engineer-pentest"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":90967}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"aikido.dev","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":90967},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
