Logos Messaging Team

The Logos Messaging team is focused on creating communication infrastructure for a freer internet — permissionless, interoperable, and based on user consent. We're building toward a world where anyone can reach anyone on a network that no single entity controls or can take away. We cannot afford to compromise on Privacy, and "Eventual Decentralisation" is not an option: Logos.co

Right now we're deep in the hard problems: Bringing decentralised group messaging over MLS to all developers. This is frontier tech work — the protocols we're writing don't have established playbooks, and the tradeoffs we're navigating haven't all been mapped yet.

This is where you come in. We're a small team seeking engineers who have a passion for decentralised chat and who've thought deeply about how these systems work, where they fail, and what it takes to get them right. You'll work directly on our SDK and contribute to the protocols underneath it, with real ownership over work that enables open communication.

Key responsibilities

• Implement our messaging protocols in our reference SDK, translating protocol specs into reliable, production-quality Rust
• Own the API design and developer experience of the SDK surface — abstractions, ergonomics, and developer-facing documentation
• Contribute to messaging protocol specifications alongside the team
• As a member of a small team, you'll wear many hats — picking up problems outside your immediate lane, learning as you go, and growing with the team
• Write clear technical documentation and participate in async design discussions with collaborators across the project

You will ideally have

• Deep familiarity with real-world instant messaging systems - you've worked on, contributed to, or spent serious time understanding how systems like Signal, Matrix, XMPP, or similar are built, where they make tradeoffs, and where they struggle
• Experience with decentralised computing - peer-to-peer systems, distributed networks, or decentralised application infrastructure
• Comfort working directly with cryptographic primitives - signatures, ciphers, and key exchanges and an understanding of secure private messaging principles such as forward secrecy, post-compromise security, and key management
• Solid Rust experience: comfortable writing reliable, maintainable code in a team setting
• Previous experience with Web3, blockchains, open protocols, and the values that underpin them
• A strong alignment to our principles: https://logos.co/manifesto/

Bonus points

• Experience with Post-Quantum Cryptography and its application to secure messaging
• Experience with MLS (Message Layer Security / RFC 9420) or the OpenMLS library specifically
• You've authored or contributed to an open specification
• Familiarity with P2P transport layers such as Waku or libp2p
• Experience working for an open source organisation
• Comfortable working remotely and asynchronously

Don't worry if you don't meet all of these criteria — we'd still love to hear from you if you think you'd be a great fit. Just explain why in your cover letter.

You'll work closely with the CEO and leadership team, translating high-level vision into a structured marketing roadmap, while bringing your own independent judgment and reasoning to every decision. You'll set the strategy, build the systems, and execute directly, using AI-powered workflows to compress what would take a large team into what one exceptional person can drive.

We're not looking for someone who will figure it out on the job. We're looking for someone who already knows how to scale products and services successfully from 0 to 1 in a high competitive startup environment, and who uses AI tools and agent networks as a natural extension of how they work.

What You Will Champion

Marketing Systems & Infrastructure

Build the AI-powered operating layer that makes one person capable of running what would traditionally require a team. This means designing and deploying agent-based workflows, automation systems, and reporting infrastructure that compound output over time. The goal is a lean, intelligent marketing function that stays high-performing as the team grows around you.

GTM and Product Marketing

Own go-to-market strategy for our core products: Managed Triage and Bug Bounty Program Subscriptions. This includes defining the ideal customer profile, building the messaging architecture, and translating complex technical security value into language that resonates with founders, protocol teams, and enterprise buyers, thus driving adoption and ARR.

Token Marketing & Ecosystem Activation

Lead the positioning, narrative, and community engagement for our token. You'll activate security researchers, partners, and communities to build durable network effects, turning the Immunefi ecosystem and institutional relations into a growth engine for our mission.

Success Profile (Who You Are)

• A Builder at Heart: You have experience scaling marketing functions from "Zero-to-One." You enjoy the challenge of setting up automated workflows as much as the art of high-stakes messaging. As a hands-on builder of AI-powered marketing systems, you actively design and deploy agent-based workflows, automation pipelines, and AI-assisted content operations. You’re not just a user of tools, but the architect of systems. 
• Strong Technical Marketing Fundamentals: Strong product marketing fundamentals, where you've defined ICPs, built messaging architectures, and shipped GTM programs that had massively leveraged results. Experience crafting market positioning and category narratives in fast-moving, technical industries. Ability to translate highly technical subject matter into language that resonates with different buyer audiences, including founders, protocol teams, and enterprise security buyers.
• A-Player Mentality: Experience in a high-ownership role at turnaround, rebuild or early stage startup environments. High agency and ownership mindset; you operate independently and hold yourself accountable to outcomes.
• Resilient & Direct: You flourish in high-stakes environments. You believe in Radical Truth and clarity. You view feedback as a gift that protects the team’s time and focus. Strong written communication skills, capable of producing and overseeing high-stakes public messaging.

Preferred Qualifications

• 3+ years of marketing experience with a strong foundation and proven track record in token marketing or Web3 ecosystem growth. You are deeply comfortable in the Web3 stack (Telegram, Discord, X) and understand the nuance of token-based network effects and community psychology. 
• Background in crypto audits, cybersecurity, blockchain infrastructure, or developer tools marketing
• Established network in the Web3 ecosystem
• Hands-on experience in content programs, PR execution, and event marketing

Operational Requirements

• Fully remote; we are a globally distributed team
• Must maintain 4+ hours of daily overlap with US/EU business hours

Why Join Immunefi

• Autonomy: With a direct line to the CEO, you will turn vision into strategy, own the roadmap, and own the results.
• Purpose: We're on a mission to secure the next trillion dollars onchain. You're the person who makes the world believe it's possible.
• Founding scope: You're not inheriting someone else's playbook. You're writing it, the systems, the narrative, the engine. There are no limits on how creative you can be.
• Lean, focused team: Elite team, high standards, zero bureaucracy. The kind of environment where your best work actually ships.

If you are a hands-on marketing leader with deep Web3 instincts who builds with AI as naturally as you think in campaigns - and who is ready for the role where you prove what that combination can do - we want to hear from you.

Location: Remote (Global) Time Zone Requirement: Must overlap 4+ hours with US/EU Business Hours.

The Opportunity 

We are seeking a Head of Sales who embodies a true "Player-Coach" mindset. This is a rare opportunity for a high-agency leader to be the architect of their own success. You won’t just inherit a sales machine; you will build it.

In this role, you will have the autonomy to drive immediate impact by managing key strategic accounts directly ("The Player"), while simultaneously building the inclusive, data-driven infrastructure that will support our future sales team ("The Coach").

What You Will Champion

• Direct Revenue Impact: You will personally lead our most critical engagements, building trust with founders and CTOs to secure high-value partnerships. You thrive on the energy of connecting with customers and closing complex agreements.
• Strategic Architecture: You will design the "Immunefi Sales Engine" from the ground up. This includes creating equitable hiring rubrics, transparent pricing models, and inclusive sales playbooks that enable future team members to succeed.
• Market Intelligence: You will act as the bridge between the market and our Product team. You will translate client feedback into actionable insights, helping us refine our offerings.
• Culture Building: You will be the voice of Revenue within the leadership team, fostering a culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous learning.

Success Profile (Who You Are)

• A Builder at Heart: You have experience scaling sales functions from the "Zero-to-One" phase. You enjoy the creative challenge of building AI-powered sales systems as much as you enjoy the art of negotiation. You use AI tools to automate prospecting, enrich pipeline intelligence, and compress what would take a team into what one exceptional operator can run. You're not just a user of tools, but the architect of systems.
• Consultative Sales DNA: You understand the nuance of selling high-trust professional services (e.g., Audits, Managed Services) versus pure-play SaaS software. You know how to scope a solution, not just sell a license.
• Native to the Ecosystem: You are comfortable meeting our clients where they live. You possess digital fluency across the Web3 stack (Telegram, Signal, Discord) and understand that speed and accessibility are key to building trust in this industry.
• Resilient & Adaptable: You flourish in dynamic, fast-paced environments. You view setbacks as learning opportunities and are comfortable navigating ambiguity with a positive, solution-oriented outlook.
• Player-Coach Grit: You believe in leading by example. You are ready to "roll up your sleeves" and work alongside the team, rather than managing from a distance.

Operational Requirements

• Global Collaboration: Ability to maintain a schedule that allows for meaningful synchronous collaboration (4+ hours overlap) with our Leadership team in US/EU time zones.
• Tech Stack Proficiency: Proficiency in modern sales operations tools (CRM automation, pipeline intelligence, AI-assisted outreach) and collaborative communication tools (Slack, G-Suite). 

Why Join Immunefi

• Autonomy: We trust you to set your schedule and manage your priorities to deliver the best results.
• Purpose: Your work directly contributes to a safer, more secure Web3 ecosystem.
• Growth: We are committed to your professional evolution, offering a path to build, hire, and mentor a globally distributed, world-class sales organization as we scale.

Mission of this role:

"This role exists for one purpose: to grow our Crypto business. The Senior Growth Manager will identify and execute disruptive, low-cost initiatives and forge strategic partnerships
that drive meaningful client acquisition within the crypto trading space — combining deep crypto-native intelligence with the ability to mobilise teams without direct authority."

This is not a generalist marketing role. We are looking for someone who lives and breathes crypto — who understands the industry's key players, audience psychology, trading behaviours, and community dynamics well enough to consistently spot growth opportunities that others miss, and act on them decisively.

K E Y R E S P O N S I B I L I T I E S
1. Disruptive, Low-Cost Crypto Growth Initiatives
▸ Own the identification and execution of growth plays specifically tailored to the crypto trading industry— not repurposed tactics from other verticals
▸ Continuously scan the crypto landscape to surface unconventional, high-leverage acquisition opportunities that competitors have overlooked: token launch moments, protocol migrations, bear/bull cycle sentiment shifts, regulatory tailwinds
▸ Design campaigns that resonate with crypto-native audiences — referral mechanics, viral on-chain incentives, community takeovers, co-marketing with Web3 projects, trading competitions, and airdrop- linked acquisition flows

▸ Prioritise and rank opportunities using a rigorous scoring framework (ICE / RICE), presenting a clear pipeline of crypto-specific 'low-hanging fruit' to the CRO each month
▸ Stress-test every initiative against acquisition metrics before committing resources, ensuring maximum new-client ROI on growth spend
2. Strategic Partnerships for Acquisition
▸ Identify, approach, and cultivate high-value partnerships with crypto-native projects, DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, Web3 wallets, crypto media, and adjacent fintech brands
▸ Build and maintain a structured partnership pipeline in collaboration with the Head of Business Development, tracking status from first contact to live activation
▸ Negotiate co-marketing, co-branding, and distribution agreements that drive measurable new-user
acquisition at low CAC
▸ Develop partnership playbooks — standardised frameworks that allow Regional Heads to replicate and localise proven partnership models in their markets
3. Crypto Industry Intelligence & Opportunity Spotting
▸ Serve as the team's primary authority on the crypto trading industry: its major exchanges, emerging protocols, DeFi trends, regulatory developments, audience segments, and shifting narratives
▸ Map the full crypto-native audience landscape — retail traders, DeFi power users, NFT participants, institutional desks, crypto-curious TradFi investors — and build targeted acquisition angles for each
▸ Track competitor exchange strategies (Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, OKX, Kraken and regional players) and identify positioning gaps our exchange can exploit for growth
▸ Monitor on-chain data, social sentiment, and market cycle dynamics to time growth campaigns for
maximum conversion impact
▸ Produce a recurring Crypto Growth Intelligence Brief shared with the CRO, Head of Marketing, and  Regional Heads — translating market signals into actionable growth priorities
4. Playbook Creation & Cross-Functional Enablement
▸ Convert successful growth experiments and partnerships into repeatable, documented playbooks tha can be handed off to Marketing, BD, and Regional teams for scaled execution
▸ Brief internal teams — Marketing, Performance & Optimisation, Retention, and Regional Heads — with clear objectives, audience insights, messaging frameworks, and success metrics for each initiative
▸ Prepare and quality-control all necessary creative, content, and partnership assets in coordination with the relevant team owners
▸ Act as the internal growth authority: run workshops, share learnings, and upskill stakeholders on
emerging crypto growth tactics
5. Matrix Leadership & Cross-Functional Influence
▸ Build trusted working relationships across Marketing, BD, Retention, Performance, and Regional teams — establishing credibility through insight and results, not hierarchy
▸ Drive alignment in cross-functional planning sessions; proactively resolve conflicts between team
priorities that could slow growth execution
▸ Hold teams accountable to joint growth commitments through shared dashboards, regular syncs, and  transparent reporting to the CRO
▸ Identify blockers early and escalate strategically, keeping initiative momentum without creating friction

R E Q U I R E M E N T S
Essential
▸ 5+ years in growth marketing, growth hacking, or strategic partnerships with direct, hands-on experience in the crypto or Web3 industry — this is non-negotiable

▸ Genuine, deep knowledge of the crypto trading industry as a practitioner: exchanges (CEX & DEX), DeFi mechanics, tokenomics, on-chain behaviour, and the communities, media, and influencers that shape the space
▸ Demonstrable track record of designing and executing low-budget, high-impact acquisition campaigns that drove meaningful growth in a crypto or fintech context
▸ Proven ability to spot under-exploited growth opportunities specific to crypto — a pattern-recognition
instinct for 'low-hanging fruit' in a fast-moving, cycle-driven market
▸ Experience building and managing strategic partnerships in the crypto ecosystem end-to-end: origination, negotiation, asset creation, and performance tracking
▸ Active participant in crypto communities (Twitter/X, Telegram, Discord, Farcaster) — you are known in the space, not just observing it
▸ Exceptional cross-functional influencing skills — a track record of driving results through teams you do not directly manage
▸ Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to author clear playbooks, briefs, and executive presentations
▸ Comfortable with analytics: able to define metrics, read dashboards, and draw actionable conclusions from data independently

Preferred
▸ Prior experience specifically at a crypto exchange (CEX) — you understand the unique acquisition funnel dynamics, KYC friction, and trading-lifecycle of exchange users
▸ Existing network of crypto-native contacts: KOLs, protocol BD leads, crypto fund operators, crypto media editors, or community leaders
▸ Hands-on experience with on-chain analytics tools: Dune Analytics, Nansen, Glassnode, or equivalent— able to derive audience and timing insights from on-chain data
▸ Experience designing and executing token incentive schemes, airdrops, or trading competitions as acquisition mechanisms
▸ Understanding of KYC/AML funnel implications and how to optimise conversion within regulatory constraints
▸ Multilingual or multi-market experience across key crypto growth markets: MENA, SEA, EU, Turkey, or LatAm
