Ackee Blockchain Security is hiring a

Web3 Growth Manager for Wakehacker (FT, remote)

Job description

Wakehacker is the first autonomous AI agent finding smart contract vulnerabilities 24/7. We get paid in crypto when we catch bugs before hackers do.

Built by brainz at Ackee Blockchain Security, on Wake Framework that secured $2B+ TVL for Lido, Safe, and Axelar.

We need someone who's tried building in Web3 before and is hungry to make Wakehacker a success.

The Vibe

This isn't a corporate marketing job.

You're not optimizing funnels or managing brand guidelines. You're grinding to make Wakehacker the most feared name in smart contract security — one vulnerability discovery, one viral tweet, one closed deal at a time.

We want someone who's been in the trenches before. Maybe you launched an NFT collection that didn't moon. Maybe you built a DeFi protocol that never made it. Maybe you tried to make it as a crypto influencer and learned the hard way.

You understand the Web3 game because you've played it.

Now you want to go all-in on something with real product-market fit and help us dominate.

What You'll Actually Do

Hunt for Growth Opportunities

• Scan crypto Twitter, Discord servers, and GitHub for mentions of smart contract bugs
• Turn our vulnerability discoveries into viral content that gets protocols' attention
• Slide into DMs of protocol founders when we find their bugs
• Create FOMO around our security findings until projects beg us to scan them

Build Our Cult Following

• Turn Wakehacker into the security meme everyone knows
• Create viral campaigns around major vulnerability discoveries
• Build relationships with degen developers and security researchers
• Make our Discord the place where smart contract devs hang out

Close Deals Like Your Life Depends On It

• Hunt down protocols that need security audits and convince them to try Wakehacker
• Negotiate partnerships with other security tools and audit firms
• Create incentive programs that get protocols addicted to our scans
• Turn one-time customers into recurring revenue

Ship Fast, Break Things, Learn

• Launch campaigns without asking permission
• A/B test everything until you find what converts
• Build partnerships with whoever will take your calls
• Track what actually makes protocols pay us vs. vanity metrics

Job requirements

You're Perfect For This If:

You've Failed at Web3 Before (And Learned From It)

• Launched something in crypto that didn't work out as planned
• Understand the difference between real traction and fake hype
• Know how to navigate crypto Twitter, Discord politics, and GitHub drama
• Have scars from trying to make it in Web3 but aren't bitter about it

You Get the Technical Stuff

• Can read a smart contract vulnerability and explain why it matters
• Know the difference between a rug pull and a legitimate exploit
• Understand how DeFi protocols work and make money
• Can talk to developers without sounding like a normie

You're Hungry to Prove Yourself

• Will work weekends because you believe in the mission
• Don't need step-by-step instructions to get shit done
• See opportunities and act on them before anyone asks
• Want to be part of something that actually succeeds this time

You Know the Ecosystem

• Have real followers/connections in crypto (not just bought followers)
• Know which KOLs actually matter vs. which ones are larping
• Understand how protocols make decisions and who influences them
• Can spot trends before they become obvious

Don't Apply If:

• You've never tried building anything in Web3
• You need corporate structure and detailed job descriptions
• You're looking for "work-life balance" and 9-5 stability
• You think Web3 is just about making money (it is, but there's more)
• You've never felt the pain of launching something and watching it fail

Technical Edge: Work with the team that built security tools used by every major audit firm

Full Autonomy: No bullshit meetings or corporate politics - just results
