Monad Labs is creating the foundation for a new world of powerful decentralized applications. We've developed the first parallel EVM executor, and have paired it with significant innovations on consensus, pipelining, and storage to build the Monad blockchain, an ultra-performant EVM-equivalent blockchain supporting 10,000 TPS while remaining highly decentralized.

The Role

After a strict focus on developing our core technology, the Monad blockchain is quickly approaching its Testnet v0 release. Ahead of that launch, we are excited to welcome a first Growth hire. Because of the nature of our technological offering, Monad has the potential to grow into one of the biggest projects in crypto—your job will be to help it get there. You will work directly with our CEO to devise and execute on strategies that build our presence among developers and crypto-native users.

You will need to be scrappy in tackling the many challenges facing an early-stage project, and strategic in identifying what initiatives or improvements to prioritize. You'll need to be both creative and data-driven. We are looking for someone who loves crypto, is creative, is ambitious, is organized, and has substantial experience with growing a crypto project.

This role is crucial to Monad's success, and will ultimately have a massive impact on helping crypto achieve mass adoption.

Requirements
Required:

You have 2 or more years of experience in growth/marketing for a crypto project, where you've meaningfully grown the userbase with clear KPIs
You are passionate about crypto. You have excellent knowledge of the crypto ecosystem (major projects and what they do, as well as major narratives and personalities on CT)
You excel at product marketing fundamentals: positioning, messaging, launch management, and sales enablement. You can demonstrate this through the interview process with specific examples, details, and outcomes
You can balance strategy and execution
You know how to leverage data
You are independent; you thrive on a high level of autonomy, responsibility, and ownership
You are creative
You have a hustler mentality; founding a company or building side projects is a plus
Bonuses:

Professional marketing experience in traditional B2B software
Good technical knowledge of crypto protocols
Existing relationships in the crypto space
Public speaking ability
What you'll be doing
You'll accelerate the growth of the Monad blockchain by developing and executing creative strategies to drive user acquisition, leveraging all channels and all resources at our disposal
You'll refine our GTM strategy and identify the core marketing OKRs and KPIs that serve as our foundation for growth
You'll tighten the product language that drives our positioning. We need to clearly explain our USPs to both developers and users
You'll build, test, and refine funnels for user acquisition
You'll develop Monad brand and voice on twitter, and develop strategies for various media (reddit, tiktok, youtube, etc)
You'll use data and analytics for decision-making, establishing a culture of data-driven experimentation
You'll engage with the user and developer community to identify areas of future collaboration
Why work with us
Huge opportunity. EVM is ubiquitous but existing EVM-compatible chains are very slow. Monad's core innovations offer devs the best of both worlds (portability and performance) and are a game-changer for mass user adoption in crypto.
The right team. Pushing the limits of decentralized computation requires unique low-latency engineering talent. Our team has nearly ten years of experience staying at the top of brutally efficient TradFi markets by building ultra-low-latency distributed systems for high-frequency trading. We're assembling a similarly world-class team in BD, Growth, DevRel, and Community. Check out our team here.
Culture. We're a lean team working closely together to achieve very ambitious goals. We are united in our belief that we will completely change the future of decentralized computation, and we take pride in our culture of collaboration and low ego. 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 very competitive salary and equity package.
Resources and growth. We're well-capitalized, with backing from leading venture funds like Dragonfly and Placeholder, and from leaders in the space like Cobie and Hasu. We keep a lean team, and this is a rare opportunity to join. You'll learn a lot and grow as our company scales.

About the job
Wally is a wallet infrastructure company that is helping to onboard the next billion users onto crypto products. We are working on a unique approach to signing people up for crypto apps to ensure that people don’t have to store private keys, and they can log into crypto products in a familiar way, such as with a username and password, or methods like Sign in with Google and Sign in with Apple. We believe that the next wave of successful crypto apps will need to appeal to users who aren't familiar with tools like Metamask and aren't comfortable with private key custody. We have the first production version of the product deployed and have onboarded our initial set of pilot customers.
We are looking for a founding engineer to take over the API and infra, continue to build out new features, recruit and lead new team members, and contribute in countless other ways to help build the business.

About Wally

Wally makes it easy to integrate wallets into an application without needing blockchain and security expertise. We make it simple for companies to provide the ease-of-use that users are accustomed to from top consumer crypto apps like Dapper, Sorare, and Coinbase without the onerous technical and regulatory efforts that those companies had to go through.

Wally has raised funding from a series of top-notch early stage funds and angel investors, led by Afore.vc, Engineering Capital (Ashmeet Sidana), and top angels including Justin Kan, Matt Knox (Reddit), Sriram Krishnan, Garrett Lord (Handshake), Hareesh Nagaraj (Audius), Shiva Rajaraman (Head of Product, OpenSea), Lydia Hylton (Bain Capital Crypto), Dan Porter (Overtime), and Meera Clark (Redpoint Ventures).

We’re based in NYC and looking to hire in NYC. We believe that in-person collaboration is strategically important for a company at our stage — both for velocity and company culture.



Experience

- 4+ years of experience building and architecting backend APIs

- Experience working with relational databases, especially Postgres

- Experience working with Javascript/Typescript/Nest.js (Node)

- Familiarity with AWS and Terraform

Bonus points

- Entrepreneurial mindset (we encourage employees to be future founders and hope this can be a great stepping stone)

- Familiarity with MPC techniques like Shamir's Secret Sharing, Verifiable Secret Sharing, and/or Threshold Signature Schemes

- Previous experience building crypto or fintech infrastructure related to storing and processing sensitive data

- Previous experience at a high-growth, fast-paced startup

Compensation

- Base: $140k-180k

- Equity: 1-3%

About the team

‍Mayank Jain is a former engineer and product manager at Reddit where he worked on the Growth team and impacted nearly every facet of the business, including user growth, subreddit growth, revenue, and safety. Before that he was also the first employee and founding engineer at Viome, where he wrote the initial technical foundations of the consumer facing product, and helped define, manage, and execute the launch of the first version of the service including both digital and physical experiences. He knows exactly what it’s like to come into an early stage startup with a lot of the specifics undefined while building the foundations of a multi-hundred million dollar business.

We have a strong team of contractors from Metamask, Roblox, and CapitalOne that have built out the initial version of the product and will continue on the team after you join.
