Senior Researcher, Systems
NYC (Preferred) | Remote
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.
Who you are
- 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
Requirements
- PhD in Computer Science or equivalent
- Significant research experience into databases or operating systems
- Experience writing performant algorithms
- Experience writing production-grade code
What youâll be doing
- 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
Why work with us
- Challenging problems. Youâll 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. Monadâs 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. Youâll be part of a small, exceptional team (bios here).
- Culture. Weâre 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, youâll help continue to shape our culture.
- Compensation. Youâll receive a competitive salary and equity package.
- Resources and growth. Weâre 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. Youâll learn a lot and grow as our company scales.
