Category Labs (formerly known as Monad Labs) is a team of systems engineers and researchers on a mission to design and build at the frontier of decentralized technology. We strive to design and build step-function improvements over existing blockchain solutions. After raising $225M in series A funding, led by Paradigm, we are growing our team.
What You Will DoDeveloping and maintaining infrastructure for a distributed blockchain network.
Building, testing, monitoring, and deploying code across multiple cloud and hosted environments.
Installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting Linux (Fedora/Ubuntu) installations.
Building testing infrastructure for a system with elements of high-performance computation and distributed systems.
Maintaining and improving our network infrastructure for clusters of Ethereum-likenodes.
Analyzing information to determine, recommend, and contribute to observability standards and security.
Monitoring functioning of equipment to ensure the system operates in conformance with specifications.
Participate in on-call rotation for production support.
Requires a Master’s degree in the field of Information Technology, Computer Systems, or a closely related field plus one year of professional experience in DevOps.
Alternatively, a Bachelor's degree in the field of Information Technology, Computer Systems, or a closely related field plus five years of professional experience in DevOps.
Knowledge of the following is also required: Back-end development language such as Python, Go, or C++.
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 a small, 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 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.
Full-time salary of $190,000.

What We Do
Category Labs (formerly known as Monad Labs) is a team of systems engineers and researchers on a mission to design and build at the frontier of decentralized technology. We strive to design and build step-function improvements over existing blockchain solutions. Such greenfield systems include from-scratch databases, Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus mechanisms, JIT compilers for EVM bytecode, and much more.
We recently raised $225M in series A funding, and are backed by Paradigm, Electric Capital, Dragonfly Capital, and others.
Category Labs is building the next generation of blockchain infrastructure with Monad, an EVM-compatible layer 1 that dramatically improves performance. Deep optimization is needed across all levels of the stack - from the database layer, to the virtual machine layer, to the consensus and networking layer - in order to streamline EVM transaction processing. We are introducing these low-level optimizations, allowing consumer-grade hardware to deliver exceptional performance while maintaining a high degree of decentralization.
