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
What We Offer
Real Equity: Not just salary – you get meaningful ownership in something that’s already working
Proven Traction: Our token pre-sale sold out in 55 minutes during a bear market
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
Crypto Native: Get paid partly in tokens, work with crypto people, solve crypto problems
