The Monad Foundation is a team of dedicated ecosystem and community builders who are on a mission to massively grow the impact of decentralized tech. We believe that the Monad blockchain--the performant and parallel EVM Layer 1--will help decentralized apps eat the world.
The RoleThe Engineering team at Monad Foundation builds software to facilitate the adoption of the Monad blockchain. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design and build high-quality web applications that integrate seamlessly with web3 technologies, working together with internal and external counterparts. The ideal candidate has a strong web3 full stack development background - building both frontends and smart contracts.
What You Will DoYou will design and build performant applications that involve blockchain interaction and blockchain data, contributing to both the frontend and the backend.
You will build dashboards that showcase network activity and popular applications.
You will build SDKs to make it easier for developers to interact with the blockchain.
You will build interfaces that make it easy for new users to onboard to Monad.
Who You Are
You have 6 years of experience as a full stack engineer.
You have 3 years of experience at a web3 company.
You are expert in JavaScript/TypeScript, React/Next.js (or similar frameworks like Svelte/SvelteKit).
You have experience with wallet connectors, indexers, and the Ethereum transaction lifecycle along with related Web3 APIs (e.g. web3.js).
You have experience with both relational and non-relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
You have experience working closely with design and developer teams to build applications that enhance user and developer experience.
You have strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset.
Challenging problems. You’ll work on extremely challenging problems with massive impact.
