Job Description
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.

Founded by Jump Trading alums, our team solves challenging problems in distributed systems engineering and low-latency optimization, authoring software innovations that enable a new, high-performance decentralized system that is backward-compatible with existing EVM apps and Ethereum infrastructure. We are backed by notable leaders in the crypto space, including Dragonfly, Cobie, and Hasu.

Our mission is to enable a new universe of decentralized apps—use cases and user flows that are currently impossible—by drastically reducing EVM computation costs. Ultimately, our work will unleash the power of decentralization to make the world more efficient and fair.

The Role

After strict focus on developing our core infra and technology, the Monad blockchain is quickly approaching its Testnet v0 release. Ahead of that launch, we are growing our team (currently almost all engineers) to include a Research Writer.

As Research Writer, you will become the voice of Monad Labs and an evangelist for the Monad blockchain. Your work will educate many users and developers, and will help Monad's community grow rapidly.

This role is on the critical path of Monad's growth.

Requirements
Prior experience/skills:

Excellent knowledge of major crypto protocols, especially L1s and L2s (e.g. consensus mechanisms, economic security design, interoperability). Some examples of topics you should know well: PoW in Bitcoin, PoS in Ethereum, tendermint, IBC, MEV, PBS, and others.
You've written about technical crypto topics in a clear and engaging manner
You're crypto-native: you're immersed in crypto culture, and aware of the prevailing personalities, memes, and major narratives and projects
You have experience writing engaging Twitter threads
Required personal attributes:

Attention to detail
Creativity
Resourcefulness and independence
Ambition to have your writing reach many people
Technical curiosity

Previous experience at a L1 or L2 blockchain protocol
Experience with Dune Analytics or more generally with querying blockchain data for insights
Knowledge of Solidity and smart contract security
CS background
A love for memes
What you'll be doing
You'll conduct research on technical topics related to Monad's mission of decentralization and scale. These topics will range from Monad-specific innovations and performance, to more general insights about the crypto space and current user or app behavior.
You'll convert that research into insightful articles and twitter threads that educate the community about Monad's technology, and what the future will look like with Monad in the mix.
You'll develop content for varying levels of technical background (everyday users, app developers, and researchers).
You'll write for various platforms, from long-form (medium and mirror.xyz) to twitter, reddit, and podcasts.
You'll work alongside other members of our team to build a coherent brand and voice for Monad.
You'll stay up-to-date on apps, topics, and narratives, and incorporate current events into your writing. Your knowledge of the state of crypto will help inform our team's strategy with respect to partnerships and new initiatives.
You'll help Monad's presence grow to be as big and engaged as possible.
Why work with us
You'll be at the forefront of Monad's success story, communicating our unique selling points and sharing our vision of the future
You'll shape the culture as an early employee and make impactful contributions from day one

About us
Block explorers ****. They load obscure data that requires years of chain nativity to understand intuitively. We don’t believe this standard can persist if Web3 is to progress. None of the promises of the technology or the ethos—transparency and equity in global decision making, data organization, and the potential to change social structures—matter unless they can be accessed. Thus, one of the most immediate problems in web3 that must be solved is extremely poor user experience. This problem is experienced across the entire web3 stack, starting at the core—block data.

Mission
The Lore Block Explorer makes blockchain data legible, and querying as simple as Google Search.

Lore is building THE semantic search interface for on-chain data. We are doing this by first building a transaction action translator that takes the current standard of block-data (32 bit wallet addresses, random method calls, and indecipherable 0 value transactions when it is abundantly clear that value has been moved) and translates it to a simple English sentence.

With our unique dataset of activity descriptors and assets, we are then able to create semantic searches.

Culture
We think deeply about the space and how the world would look different if and when we succeed in our mission. We hire people who contribute to this discourse.
We work hard. This is an early stage startup in a bear market. The hours are long but very rewarding. We are extremely respectful of your limits, always.
We celebrate wins
We analyse losses
We speak our minds
About you
We are looking for a senior front-end software engineer who is passionate about the intersection of UX and web3, and appreciates the power that interfaces have to transform user experiences.

You have a natural sense for product and obsess over the details
You love the fast-paced motion of a small team on a mission. Oh, and you love growth
You speak your mind and are unafraid to disagree because you believe the best collaborative efforts are open and honest
You’re chain native. That means you know and understand blockchain data, logic, and structure intuitively as a function of exposure and experience.
Bonus: if you’re working and leading a team at Big Tech right now, we’d love to be your way out.

Core Responsibilities
Own the interface design implementation process for the Block Explorer Product (wallet address pages, contract pages, token pages etc).
Work closely with the CTO, Product Leads and Designers to build a cohesive process for front-end deliverables
Frequent assessment and iteration recommendations best on the same
Hard Qualifiers
2-3 years of building React/Angular/or Vue apps in teams
Multiple Projects building with React - (Typescript + NextJS) with clean, scalable, performant code
Extensive familiarity using TailwindCSS
Multiple projects building with React Query, SWR, or similar caching libraries
Multiple projects building with Jotai, Zustand, or similar state management libraries (flexible)
Experience implementing real-time (e.g. websockets, polling, etc.) web apps
Bonuses
Extensive familiarity with Ether.js and experience building front-ends that have interacted with wallet providers. We understand if you are not familiar, but this is a big plus.
Past experience working with blockchain data and familiarity with smart contracts.
Backend
Familiarity with PSQL databases and ORMs
Familiarity with Docker
Familiarity with NodeJS
Soft Qualifiers
Endless curiosity about the future of web3. We are looking for people who will come to us with new, creative ways to use this legible data—thinking critically about this is part of the job
You are passionate about the space, and want to work in it outside of the promise of financial gain; we want to see from you that you know this company should exist even outside of the team that is building it.
