The Role

At Monad Labs, we are on a mission to revolutionize the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) by introducing Monad, a performant Layer-1 blockchain that enhances parallel execution and superscalar pipelining.

  • Understanding the entire system in detail, including ongoing projects, to ensure cohesive development.
  • Reviewing PRs and providing technical mentorship to less experienced team members to foster a collaborative and productive environment.

What We Expect

  • Proven experience: You should have at least 10 years of experience in software development, with a minimum of 3 years in a technical lead role.
  • Expertise in C++: Significant experience in C++ is essential, and familiarity with Rust is a bonus.
  • Strong architectural skills: You should be capable of designing complex software systems from scratch.
  • Leadership qualities: Ability to take ownership, set directions in ambiguous situations, and make sound decisions promptly.
  • Attention to detail: You must possess a meticulous approach to your work, ensuring high-quality outputs.

Why Join Us?

  • Challenging problems: Work on cutting-edge problems that have a massive impact on the crypto world.
  • Huge opportunity: Be part of a project that could redefine user adoption in the crypto space by balancing portability and performance.
  • The right team: Collaborate with a small, exceptional team dedicated to achieving ambitious goals.
  • Culture: Contribute to a culture of collaboration, low egos, and high-quality outputs.
  • Compensation and growth: Competitive salary and equity package, along with opportunities for personal and professional growth.
