Founding Hype Lead

You could be fluent in three-card monte, your stage a fold-up table at the Canal Street subway exit. You could be a creative technologist with a bent for using images to tell a story that refuses to die. You could be a streamer who built an audience by shadow boxing with the zeitgeist.

Octet is hiring a founding hype lead to provoke. To nail our words to the door, where no one can look away.

The digital economy is adrift in its own self-service loop. Pixels proving pixels. Fraud rushed in to fill the gap between what's real and what feels real. Trillions of dollars were stolen.

Octet brings skin and ground back into the system. Real-world verification. On-device. Cryptographic.

Without ground-truth, DeFi, prediction markets and vast swathes of the global economy stay slower, dumber, more fragile.

We're building the new primitive that allows any application to check in with physical reality and build from cryptographic proof.

This is narrative warfare. Lenin built a vanguard before he built a state. We're building ours.

Done right, you look to Marina Abramović. Philippe Petit. Gordon Matta-Clark. Treat public opinion as material to be cut and shaped. Make material things into arguments.

London. £45–60K + meaningful equity.

Apply with the action or tactic you'd stage. careers@octetproof.com

About Octet

The founders built and exited a venture-backed company together. We know what to do and what to avoid. Octet is our once in a lifetime opportunity to build a company that shapes the modern world, going after one of the most significant problems on earth with technology no one else is deploying. We've worked together for a decade: CEO Benjamin Fels (ex-derivatives trader, built first-of-a-kind AI for financial markets and mission-critical supply chains); COO Drew Arenth (edge tech and logistics); CTO Suvrit Sra (MIT and TUM Professor, €5M Humboldt Prize for AI). Backed by Variant, ex/ante, hivemind and angel investors in leadership at World, Coinbase, and quantitative hedge funds.

Credentials are stolen. Faces are synthesized. Location pings are spoofed. Physical presence is the one signal that cannot be faked. No one has made it programmable. Until now. Build the primitive with us. → careers@octetproof.com
