About Monad
Monad helps developers run EVM smart contracts on a high‑performance Layer 1. It uses parallel execution, asynchronous consensus, and a custom state database to speed up transactions and reduce costs while keeping Ethereum bytecode compatibility. Users can deploy existing Solidity code and use familiar tooling.

About the Role
You will design performant algorithms and architectures for storage and recovery, in both single-node and distributed environments. You will research and evaluate new system architectures and approaches. You will work hands-on with low-level tooling and production code using C++, clang, LLVM, gdb, perf, Unix, and git. You will be expected to produce performant, production-grade implementations and iterate quickly on experimental results.
Requirements
- PhD in Computer Science or equivalent
- Significant research experience in databases or operating systems
- Research experience in systems verification, operating systems, multi-core algorithms, or systems architecture
- Experience writing performant algorithms
- Experience writing production-grade code
- Resourceful and self-motivated
- Collaborative
- Adaptive and able to make meaningful contributions in a fast-paced environment
- Curious about lower-level system details
Responsibilities
- Design performant algorithms and architectures related to storage or recovery in single-node or distributed environments
