Job Description

Monad Labs is the team building Monad, the performant and parallel EVM Layer-1 blockchain. We are a team of systems engineers and community builders who are on a mission to help crypto eat the world. After recently raising $225M in series A funding led by Paradigm, we are growing our team.

The Role

Monad Labs is looking for systems researchers with a strong interest in databases and operating systems. Candidates with research experience in systems verification, operating systems, multi-core algorithms, or systems architecture, are an ideal match. You will be part of a small, deeply technical team, working on high-impact problems in a fast-paced environment. Although we are building a new blockchain, previous experience with crypto is not expected.

What You Will Do
  • Designing performant algorithms and architectures related to storage or recovery, in single-node or distributed environments.
  • Researching new architectures
  • Tech stack: C++, clang, LLVM, gdb, perf, unix, git
Who You Are
  • PhD in Computer Science or equivalent
  • Significant research experience into databases or operating systems
  • Experience writing performant algorithms
  • Experience writing production-grade code
  • Resourceful and self-motivated
  • Collaborative
  • Adaptive; able to make meaningful contributions in a fast-paced environment
  • Curious about lower-level system details
  • Interested in building high-value, performant and distributed systems
Why Work with Us
  • Challenging problems. You'll work on extremely challenging problems with massive impact.
  • Huge opportunity. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard is ubiquitous, but existing EVM-compatible chains are very slow. Monad's core innovations offer developers the best of both worlds (portability and performance) and are a game-changer for mass user adoption in crypto.
  • The right team. You'll be part of a small, exceptional team (bios here).
  • Culture. We're a lean team working together to achieve very ambitious goals. We are united in our culture of collaboration, low egos, and high-quality outputs. As an early member of our team, you'll help continue to shape our culture.
  • Compensation. You'll receive a competitive salary and equity package.
  • Resources and growth. We're well-capitalized, with backing from leading venture funds like Paradigm, Electric Capital, Greenoaks, Dragonfly, and Coinbase Ventures. We keep a lean team, and this is a rare opportunity to join. You'll learn a lot and grow as our company scales.
Salary and Benefits

Minimum full-time salary of $250,000. (**This is not a guarantee of compensation or salary; a final offer amount may vary based on factors including but not limited to experience, domain expertise, and geographic location.)

Monad Labs' benefits for US-based full-time employees include medical, dental, and vision insurance (100% coverage for employees); unlimited and encouraged paid time off; monthly mental health and fitness stipend; paid parental leave; and 10 company-observed holidays.
