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

The Ecosystem team accelerates the growth of the Monad ecosystem by supporting committed teams that are building ambitious products on Monad.

​

As an Ecosystem Associate, you’ll conceptualize, implement, and manage growth initiatives for early- to mid-stage builders across all verticals (DeFi, gaming, NFTs, etc) to become thriving ecosystem projects. You will use both creativity and data-driven evidence to identify which strategies and support verticals to prioritize. You will manage, maintain, and improve internal and externally-facing systems and processes. You are ready and willing to tackle any challenge, no problem too small. You are someone who is self-sufficient, organized, and ambitious with existing experience in L1/L2 ecosystem development.

​

This role is crucial to Monad’s success, and offers a unique opportunity to impart massive impact on the trajectory of the Monad ecosystem.

​

Our team is headquartered in NoMad, Manhattan, NYC. This is for a hybrid (3 days/week in office) role.

​

Who you are

• Two or more years of experience in ecosystem work at an L1/L2 blockchain or similar (e.g. portfolio support at a venture firm), onboarding and growing successful projects from the ground up
• You are biased toward action while respecting team-oriented priorities
• You are no-ego, adaptable, entrepreneurial, detail-oriented
• You are an excellent speaker and writer
• You are personable and able to manage expectations across many stakeholders and multiple on-going relationships

​

Bonuses

• Experience working at an early-stage startup
• Strong existing relationships in the industry
• Fluency in multiple languages

​

What you’ll be doing

• You’ll develop and execute new initiatives that grow the Monad ecosystem
• You’ll work alongside Business Development, DevRel, Marketing, and Operations teams to execute on initiatives
• You’ll collaborate with a range of counterparties, builders, investors, exchanges, infrastructure providers—to promote the growth of the Monad ecosystem
• You’ll manage initiatives like grants programs and hackathons that bring builders to Monad and encourage them to compose with other Monad ecosystem apps

​

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.
