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, we are growing our team.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer with excellent knowledge of linux systems and significant experience building new automation for infrastructure and testing. You will be joining a small, talented team of systems experts to extend the testing and automation for a high-performance next-generation blockchain.

What You Will Do

– You’ll build automation for testing components of the Monad blockchain
– You’ll build tools for observability and alerting
– You’ll build and maintain testnets
– You’ll define best practices for node operators
– You’ll participate in on-call rotation for production support

Who You Are

– You have significant experience in DevOps at a professional validator company or L1 blockchain.
– You have significant experience in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and container technologies (docker, kubernetes, terraform, ansible, puppet)
– You are proficient in at least one back-end development language such as Python, Go, or C++
– You are proficient with command-line git
– You have experience writing scripts for deploying and maintaining infrastructure (Linux installations, clusters, and networks)
– You have experience evaluating and improving observability and security practices
– You have experience with network setup and maintenance

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 an exceptional team.
– 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.
