Full Stack Developer @ aikido in Ghent

Aikido Security is building a developer-centric security product for cloud companies. The focus is on application security testing and vulnerability scanning.

We’re looking to fill a gap in the current landscape, by offering a product that combines insights from both your code, dependencies & cloud, resulting in a set of unique and high-value security features. We’re going to package this in an easy-to-use product that is helpful as well as educational.

As a full-stack developer, you’ll be working closely with the Aikido team.

The beta-version of the product is almost ready and there’s a whole set of features and functionalities that still needs to be built to get to full feature-completeness. 

Main responsibilities:

• Write modular, testable, and efficient code using Vue.js, Node.js & PHP and other languages.

• Managing AWS and lambda deployments

• Design and implement high-availability applications

• Discover, plan, write, document and maintain new features

• Understand the fundamental design principles behind a scalable application

• Understand the nature of asynchronous programming and its quirks and workarounds

• Optimize the product code for speed where required

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Really comfortable in a very entrepreneurial environment

• Can think along with architectural and impactful decisions 

• Willing to learn new languages when the product requires it

• Comfortable researching and tackling hard problems and algorithms (eg parsing with ASTs)

• Willing to experiment (and also willing to perhaps throw away some code)

• Medior to Senior: 

  • We are going fast and need experienced people that can hit the ground running with us. 

  • You need to be comfortable with the above mentioned languages and tech-stack.

  • No stranger to implementing automated testing platforms and unit tests

• Fluent in English

Legal-wise:

• You need to be eligible to be on a Belgian payroll (and you are actively residing in Belgium) OR you can act as a freelancer

What you can expect

• High-impact position in a fast-growing company

• Competitive salary package

  • Stock-options discussable

• A company that sticks to their values in an open and informal atmosphere (see our culture-page on the website for more details)

• A diverse and inclusive organization that is proud to be an equal opportunity employer

• Flexibility in working hours and remote-first culture

You will be recruited based on competencies. Qualities of people are decisive, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic origin, age, sexual orientation or any disability.
