Founding Growth Lead - Crypto/igaming

Ant-Tech

3d • Remote

About The Position

This is a founding role focused on owning growth end-to-end for a crypto/igaming prediction market product. The position involves building the lifecycle program from scratch, running promotional mechanics with a deep understanding of economics, designing and managing the referral program, owning the growth dashboard, and running a high cadence of experiments. The role requires close collaboration with the founders on positioning, product surfaces that drive growth, and the intersection of marketing and product. The ideal candidate will have direct experience in iGaming, sportsbook, casino, or prediction markets on the operator side, with a proven track record in crypto or gambling referral programs and strong lifecycle/CRM skills. Comfort with raw event data, strong written communication, and the ability to thrive in a small, async-first startup environment are essential. The role offers significant influence on the product, direct collaboration with founders, budget and authority, and equity in an early-stage company.

Requirements

• Direct iGaming, sportsbook, casino, or prediction-market experience on the operator side.
• Understanding of bonus abuse, churn, GGR vs NGR, hold percentage, and what actually makes a wagering product sticky.
• Proven track record designing and running referral programs in crypto, gambling, or both — structuring deals, attributing properly, and cutting partners that don't perform or that get arbitraged.
• Strong lifecycle and CRM skills — designing sequences, missions, bonus drops, retention loops, and reactivation campaigns.
• Comfort with raw event data. You pull your own cohorts. You don't wait for an analyst.
• Strong written voice in the right register, with the ability to ghostwrite for founders and brand accounts without it sounding off.
• High output, fast feedback loops, and a willingness to ship campaigns and kill them quickly without ego.
• Comfort working in a small, async-first, docs-heavy startup with very little hand-holding.

Nice To Haves

• Direct experience at a crypto-native wagering product
• Existing referral and operator relationships in crypto or gambling you can bring with you on day one
• Solana ecosystem fluency and existing relationships in that orbit
• Comfort with on-chain attribution and wallet-level analytics

Responsibilities

• Own growth end-to-end: acquisition, activation, retention, referral, reactivation, and reactivation-after-that
• Build the lifecycle program from scratch — missions, leaderboards, deposit and wager-based progression, VIP, win-back, and the stuff iGaming has known for twenty years and most crypto products still ignore
• Run promo and bonus mechanics with a real understanding of the economics — abuse vectors, churn curves, and how to design offers that don't get arbitraged into oblivion on day two
• Design and run the referral program: structure, recruit, attribute, and kill underperformers fast
• Own the growth dashboard end-to-end: events, cohorts, retention curves, LTV, CAC, payback, and the unglamorous data work that tells you what's actually happening
• Run a high cadence of experiments — small bets, fast feedback, kill what doesn't work
• Work directly with the founders on positioning, product surfaces that drive growth, and the line where marketing ends and product begins

Benefits

• Equity
• Competitive salary
• Real budget and real authority to deploy it
• Direct influence on the product
• Opportunity to help build one of the most interesting companies in prediction markets from an early stage
