Job description
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 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
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
