Hands-on experience running highly available containerized systems on Kubernetes, including packaging (Helm) and GitOps-style deployment (FluxCD, ArgoCD, or GitHub Actions)
Strong experience with a major cloud provider (AWS preferred)

Challenging problems. You’ll tackle deeply complex and technically demanding problems, with autonomy and impact.
Endless Opportunity for Impact. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard is ubiquitous, but existing EVM-compatible chains are slow and bandwidth-constrained. Monad’s core innovations offer developers and founders the best of both worlds (portability and performance) and are a game-changer to power global on-chain finance.
The right team. You’ll be part of a world class team, who are exceptional and highly-motivated.
Culture. We’re a lean team working together to achieve very ambitious goals. We are united in our culture of collaboration, low ego, and high-quality output.
Strong Ecosystem. The broader Monad ecosystem has attracted support from leading investors, builders and long-term contributors.
