Role
Who you are
- This is a great role for a strong writer with some SEO foundation who wants to level up in technical storytelling, product-focused content, and fast-paced startup execution
- 2–4 years of experience writing content for dev tools and/or cybersecurity
- Strong writing fundamentals: clarity, tone control, structure, and the ability to simplify the complex
- Understanding of how content impacts SEO (intent, readability, optimization, internal linking)
- Editorial skills: comfortable rewriting, editing, and elevating existing content
- Ability to follow brand voice guidelines and incorporate feedback
- Curiosity and willingness to learn deeper SEO practices and technical subjects
- Collaborative mindset and comfortable working cross-functionally
- We encourage smart use of AI for research, outlining, competitive analysis, technical exploration, and revision - but expect all final language to be human-crafted
Desirable
- Experience working in Webflow
- Experience in a fast-moving startup
- Familiarity with developer workflows, DevSecOps, or cybersecurity concepts
What the job involves
- Aikido is looking for an SEO-driven Content Writer who can turn our technical depth, product insights, and no-BS voice into content that ranks and resonates
- This is a writing-first, editorial-heavy role
- You’ll collaborate closely with our Technical SEO Strategist and Head of Content Marketing - as well as refining work from external writers - to build a high-quality organic content engine
- Your work will span across updating existing content, producing new search-optimized pieces, rewriting weak pages, editing freelancer outputs, and shaping landing pages, guides, comparison pages, and product-led explainers
- Write SEO-informed content for landing pages, blogs, guides, comparison pages, and product explainers
- Refresh, rewrite, and improve existing pages to boost clarity, accuracy, and search performance
- Edit and refine content from external freelancers to match our voice and standards
- Work closely with our Technical SEO Strategist to align content with keyword insights and search intent
- Collaborate with the Head of Content Marketing to keep tone, messaging, and narratives consistent
- Translate technical or security concepts into clear, useful content (with support from product & engineering)
- Suggest new content ideas based on SEO guidance, industry trends, and product gaps
Our take
Startups and mid-sized businesses, in their quest to secure their software, can end up adopting multiple scattered tools, leading to noise and 'false positives' that burden development teams. Alternatively, they might invest in expensive security software solutions that cover only a fraction of application security factors, leaving critical gaps in their software protection.
Aikido has emerged as a solution to the complexities of software security. Its platform is designed to cut through the noise generated by disparate security tools, saving developers valuable time by addressing vulnerabilities based on severity. Interestingly, the company's approach focuses on preventing security issues from entering the code during development, allowing for quick fixes before any breach occurs.
Having secured recent funding, Aikido has become the fastest capitalised startup in Belgian history. Fueled by this, the team is now setting its sight on further growing the platform and making a name for itself on a global level.
