Developer Relations Engineer

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.

We are looking for a Developer Relations Engineer to focus on growing and supporting Monad's early builder community. You will unlock a community of ambitious builders by giving them the tools and resources to build successful apps in the Monad ecosystem. The role can be based remotely in Canada or the United States.

• Design, develop, and maintain high-quality, production-ready sample applications and reference implementations on Monad. These projects will serve as the benchmark for best practices, demonstrating optimal architecture, security, and user experience for other developers

• Create and distribute high-impact educational resources (e.g., insightful blog posts, engaging videos, practical tooling derived from your builds, comprehensive tutorials, clear documentation) that showcase best practices and efficient workflows, using your exemplary apps as case studies

• Share your expertise, learnings, and the "why" behind your applications with the developer community through presentations at conferences, workshops, webinars, and in-depth code walkthroughs

• Translate your hands-on building experiences and technical insights into actionable feedback for our product and engineering teams, directly influencing the Monad roadmap and tooling

• Leverage your deep development experience to create guides and architectural blueprints that offer strong, well-reasoned opinions on the best ways to build robust and scalable applications on Monad

• 2+ years in developer relations at a web3 company

• 2+ years of software development experience, marked by a strong portfolio of shipped applications where you played a key role in design and implementation. Throughout these years, you have cultivated and consistently demonstrated a passion for writing clean, maintainable, well-documented code, and instinctively architect solutions designed to serve as robust and clear examples for other developers.

• You profoundly understand the challenges developers face and are driven to create solutions, code examples, and resources that genuinely improve their productivity and the quality of their work

• You possess a natural curiosity for trying out different development tools, frameworks, and platforms, and can critically assess their impact on the development lifecycle and final product

• You've formed strong, evidence-based opinions on what makes a great developer experience and robust application architecture, and can effectively communicate how tools and platforms can be improved

• Prior app development experience, as evidenced with personal and professional projects (e.g. Github, Hackathons)

• Degree in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent experience

• Low ego

• Independence

• Organizational skills

• Extremely strong work ethic

• A desire to bring people together

• Enthusiasm for Monad's mission of helping decentralization scale

• Public speaking or teaching experience

• Hackathon circuit experience, as a participant

• Existing relationships with builder communities, incubators, or university blockchain groups

• Challenging problems. You'll work on extremely challenging problems with massive impact.

• Huge opportunity. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard is ubiquitous, but existing EVM-compatible chains are slow and bandwidth-constrained. 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. You'll be part of an exceptional and highly-motivated team

• Culture. We're a lean team working together to achieve very ambitious goals. We are united in our culture of collaboration, low ego, and high-quality output. As an early member of our team, you'll help continue to shape our culture.
