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 hiring a first Ventures-focused hire to join the ecosystem team at Monad. You will support early-stage builders and act as a conduit to venture capital and ecosystem resources. You will identify ambitious builders, evaluate product pitches, and coach teams toward success. You will also build relationships with investors, accelerators, and other stakeholders. You’ll have a huge impact on the success of many early-stage entrepreneurs and on the early Monad ecosystem.
What You Will Do
- Initiate initiatives that educate and advance early-stage builders
- Coach early-stage teams on product development and presentation
- Manage relationships with investors and identify win-win investment opportunities
- Contribute to broader ecosystem development strategy
Who You Are
- You are an experienced venture investor in the crypto industry with at least 3 years of experience
- You are an analytical, first-principles thinker who can reason about problems and opportunities across verticals
- You have strong product intuition
- You have strong intuition for GTM strategy / user acquisition in the crypto space
- You are no-ego, adaptable, entrepreneurial, and detail-oriented
- You are an excellent verbal and written communicator
- You are someone who enjoys building relationships and can manage expectations across many stakeholders and competing priorities
- You are someone who likes helping people
Why Work with Us
- Huge opportunity. EVM 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. Pushing the performance limits of blockchain requires unique low-latency engineering talent. Our team has nearly ten years of experience staying at the top of brutally efficient high-frequency trading markets. We’re assembling a similarly world-class team in BD, Growth, DevRel, and Marketing. Check out our team 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.
- Impactful work. Your work will be deeply impactful, making decentralized computation orders of magnitude cheaper and more plentiful, ultimately paving the way for new dapps that improve many people’s lives.
- 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, and from leaders in the space like Cobie. We keep a lean team, and this is a rare opportunity to join. You’ll learn a lot and grow as our company scales.
