Enterprise Account Executive US

• • United States (United States)

Job description

🌍 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.

We’re building toward self-securing software. Join an all-star team. Take real ownership. Push boundaries. Build things that matter.

We’re expanding internationally and there’s a lot of room to grow with us.

Our Enterprise 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.

Responsibilities

• Own the full enterprise sales cycle across a defined list of target accounts, from first touch to signature.

• Build and deepen relationships with senior engineering, platform, and security leaders.

• Drive expansion within existing enterprise customers in partnership with Customer Success and Product.

• Work closely with the SVP of North America on strategy, negotiation, and executive alignment.

• Deliver tailored presentations and demos that articulate clear technical and business value.

• Align with marketing, alliances, and product to run account-based plays and partner-led motions.

• Maintain disciplined pipeline management and accurate forecasting in HubSpot.

• Represent Aikido in the field at industry and partner events.

Job requirements

• 6-10 years of SaaS sales experience, ideally in cybersecurity, DevSecOps, or developer tools.

• Consistent record of closing complex six and seven-figure deals.

• Experience owning multiple strategic accounts with a long-term, relationship-driven approach.

• Comfortable leading technical product conversations and mapping depth to business outcomes.

• Effective in both direct enterprise sales and partner-assisted deals.

• Strong communicator, detail-oriented, commercially sharp, and able to operate cross-functionally.

• Thrives in a fast-moving, no-BS startup environment.

What you can expect

• Short decision lines. Big ownership. Shape the projects that matter and ship fast.

• Grow as fast as we do. Take on more, own more, and carve out your own path.

• Top-tier tech pay and equity.

• High trust, strong values, zero corporate BS.

• Flexibility in working hours.

• A company that sticks to its values in an open and informal atmosphere.

We hire for talent, drive, and potential. Everything else is noise.
