About Status
Status is building the tools and infrastructure for the advancement of a secure, private, and open web3.
With the high level goals of preserving the right to privacy, mitigating the risk of censorship, and promoting economic trade in a transparent, open manner, Status is building a community where anyone is welcome to join and contribute.
As an organization, Status seeks to push the web3 ecosystem forward through research, creation of developer tools, and support of the open source community.
As a product, Status is an open source, Ethereum-based app that gives users the power to chat, transact, and access a revolutionary world of Apps on the decentralized web. But Status is also building foundational infrastructure for the whole Ethereum ecosystem, including the Nimbus ETH 1.0 and 2.0 clients, the Keycard hardware wallet, and the Waku messaging protocol, the p2p communication layer for Web3.
As a team, Status has been completely distributed since inception. Our team is currently 200+ core contributors strong, and welcomes a growing number of community members from all walks of life, scattered all around the globe.
We care deeply about open source, and our organizational structure has minimal hierarchy and no fixed work hours. We believe in working with a high degree of autonomy while supporting the organization's priorities.
<h4>Weâre looking for a hands-on, self-driven Social Media Manager to grow the Status movement (users, followers, contributors, and supporters), spark engagement, and build <strong>crypto twitter culture</strong> around the Status App and ecosystem.</h4>
At Status, weâre building a privacy-preserving Super App for secure and confidential communication and financial coordination with friends, communities, and business partners. Status app brings together:
- an anonymous, peer-to-peer privacy messenger making it easy to communicate and coordinate your financial transactions and interactions with friends and business partners in one place;
- a secure, self-custodial multi-chain crypto wallet to manage your crypto asset portfolio without giving up your privacy;
- censorship-resistant, decentralized communities for people that value privacy, freedom, and autonomy in their digital interactions.
Weâre expanding into chat/social, financial, and life>
This is not a âcorporate social mediaâ role. We need someone to truly own our media channels and make them human, authentic, and exciting. Someone who gets meme culture, loves real conversations on social media, and knows how to spark engagement that feels alive. Youâll listen, share stories, and start conversations that matter â helping grow the Status community of people building tools to take back real control over their digital lives. Our comms should be playful yet purposeful: grounded in privacy, freedom, and open source. That means showing why decentralization matters, reminding the world that privacy is a right (not a feature), and proving that open source is how we win.
You should be a driver and self-starter â ready to roll up your sleeves and take care of both the creativity and execution of our social media efforts, while working in tandem with the Program Lead on strategic planning. Your execution and strategy wonât exist in isolation â theyâll be an expansion of our Status product strategy and roadmap.
What youâll do:
Run our social channels (X, Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn, Farcaster, etc.)
-
- Posting, listening, engaging, and learning from the community
- Share real content â memes, videos, hot takes, threads, deep dives â whatever works to spark conversation and engagement
- Celebrate Status ecosystem wins, highlight user stories/posts, and amplify builders, privacy advocates, and open source contributors
Bring crypto twitter and meme culture into our comms
- Stay on top of crypto narratives to weave timely, relevant narratives and memes into posts and campaigns
- Create and remix basic meme images, GIFs, and short videos; remix existing assets. Youâll have illustrator/video creator support when needed
- Keep the voice right â rebellious, grounded, and human â never polished or corporate
Social listening & trend spotting & reporting/insights
- Monitor crypto channels (X, Reddit, Farcaster, etc.), Web2 events/channels to spot events, discussions, and trends relevant to the Status app, SNT, and the overall Status ecosystem to leverage them in our comms
- Find and boost content from others in the space â especially from builders, privacy advocates, and open source contributors
- Keep an ear to the ground: know what people are saying about us, about crypto, about surveillance, and help us respond thoughtfully
- Propose, create, and post timely comms content: ad-hoc posts, retweets, reactive campaigns
- Track social sentiment and feedback on the Status App & ecosystem
- Use data as a compass (not a report card) to refine strategy and execution â whatâs resonating? Whoâs engaging? Where should we show up more?
Social media strategy
- Work in tandem with the Program Lead on defining social media strategy for the Status Apps and ecosystem based on our product strategy and roadmap
Content production & distribution and campaigns planning & execution
- Prepare release comms: release notes (will be supported by Product), blog posts (will be supported by editors), visuals (will be supported by a visual designer when needed), teasers, and post-release messages
- Plan and execute event-based campaigns (ecosystem launches, major milestones)
- Collaborate with partners (bridges, swaps, on/off ramps, etc.) and other projects who share our values for joint marketing and comms campaigns
- Suggest and roll out blog articles (with Product and editors), then promote them across channels
- Manage the in-app Status news feeds with comms that drive feature discovery & engagement
- Collaborate with the Status Community Manager to drive in-app communities and conversations
We are looking for:
You have experience working in start-ups and are comfortable with their fast-pace and always changing/adaptable nature.
- Youâve spent time in web3, crypto, or privacy spaces â not just as a user, but as an active participant (open source contributions, dev community activity, small projects, etc.). Tell us :)
- You know your way around social platforms â especially the ones where real debate happens (Reddit, long-form X threads)
- You write like you talk â clearly, passionately, without buzzwords
- You can put together images/videos or edit them if needed (weâre not asking for Hollywood â just âgood enoughâ and authentic)
- Youâre organized without being robotic â you can plan a content calendar, but youâre also ready to jump on something urgent or unexpected
- Youâre comfortable working asynchronously, remotely, and without constant oversight
- Youâre curious â always learning, always watching whatâs happening in tech, privacy, and decentralization
- You believe in open source not just as code, but as a way of building power together
- You are located in the European time zone or close to it
Bonus points:
- Youâve worked with or contributed to an open source project before.
- Familiarity with or experience in growth marketing and SEO
Hiring Process:
- Intro call with Talent team member
- Paid task
- Panel interview with Status Lead and Status Network Lead
Why this matters?
Weâre not trying to be the next big tech company. Weâre trying to build something that outlasts them. That means every tweet, every reply, every video isnât just âcontentâ â itâs part of a bigger conversation about freedom, privacy, and who gets to shape the future of the internet.
If that fires you up â we want to hear from you.
