Kratos Lab – Web Security cum Marketing Intern

* WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS

You're not here to just "do marketing."

Your mission: Build awareness that web security can be simple, accessible, and AI-powered.

Right now, thousands of developers are:

• Building apps without proper security because WAFs are too complex
• Getting hacked because they don't know where to start
• Paying enterprise prices for features they'll never use
• Spending hours configuring rules they don't understand

Your job is to reach them and show them there's a better way.

You'll be the voice in security communities saying:

• "You don't need to be a security expert to protect your app"
• "AI can handle the complexity while you focus on building"
• "Enterprise-grade security shouldn't cost enterprise prices"

If this mission excites you more than the job title, keep reading.

* WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

This isn't for you if:

• You just want another line on your resume
• You see this as a stepping stone to "real marketing jobs"
• You don't actually care about web security or helping developers
• You think marketing is about tricking people to click buttons

This IS for you if:

• You're PASSIONATE about web security and want more people to care about it too
• You're active in developer/security communities because you genuinely love these spaces
• You share our vision: web security should be accessible to everyone, not just experts
• You believe AI can democratize cybersecurity and want to spread that message
• You want to build something meaningful, not just hit KPIs
• You see yourself as an educator and advocate, not just a marketer

* THE REAL TALK

We need someone who:

1. Lives in Web Security Communities

• You're already on Reddit (r/netsec, r/webdev), Discord servers, Twitter/X, Stack Overflow
• You follow security researchers, read vulnerability reports, understand the OWASP Top 10
• You don't need us to explain why SQL injection is dangerous—you've seen the damage
• When you talk about web security, people listen because you're one of them

2. Believes in Our Mission

• You're frustrated that good security is so hard to implement
• You've seen small businesses or solo developers get hacked and thought "this shouldn't happen"
• You believe AI can level the playing field between attackers and defenders
• You want to be part of making the internet safer for everyone, not just Fortune 500 companies

3. Can Build Awareness at Scale with AI

• You use ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini to create content that educates and engages
• You know (or want to learn) automation tools like n8n, Make.com to 10x your reach
• You can turn technical concepts into stories developers actually care about
• You're not just posting content—you're starting conversations

* WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO

Your Core Mission: Build Awareness

Make developers AWARE that:

1. They need web security (many don't realize how vulnerable they are)
2. Traditional WAFs are unnecessarily complex and expensive
3. AI-powered security exists and changes everything
4. KratosWAF lets them protect their apps in 5 minutes, even without security expertise
