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.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer with deep Linux expertise and a strong track record of building infrastructure and testing automation from scratch. You'll join a small, talented team of systems experts to extend the testing, tooling, and operational backbone of a high-performance, next‑generation Layer 1 blockchain.
What You Will Do
- Build and maintain testnets and test automation for components of the Monad blockchain
- Prototype new deployment patterns across validator and full-node topologies
- Design and run performance benchmarks and load tests to surface bottlenecks before they reach production
- Drive observability, alerting, and security across the stack
- Define best practices for node operators & support them
- Develop tooling for internal & external use
- Participate in on‑call rotation for production support
Who You Are
- 2+ years of DevOps experience at a professional RPC provider / professional validator company / L1 blockchain
- 3+ years of experience with Infrastructure as Code and Configuration Management (Terraform, Ansible)
- 2+ years of experience with container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Proficient in bare metal server management and scripting
- Proficient in at least one back-end language such as Python or Go
- Hands‑on experience running highly available containerized systems on Kubernetes, including packaging (Helm) and GitOps‑style deployment (FluxCD, ArgoCD, or GitHub Actions)
- Strong experience with a major cloud provider (AWS preferred)
- Comfort with network setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting at the systems level
- Experience operating open‑source observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, or similar)
- Proficient with command‑line git
- Able to juggle competing priorities and move quickly during incidents
- Fluent written and spoken English
Why Work with Us
- Challenging problems. You’ll tackle deeply complex and technically demanding problems, with autonomy and impact.
- Endless Opportunity for Impact. The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) standard is ubiquitous, but existing EVM-compatible chains are slow and bandwidth‑constrained. Monad’s core innovations offer developers and founders the best of both worlds (portability and performance) and are a game‑changer to power global on‑chain finance.
- The right team. You’ll be part of a world class team, who are exceptional and highly‑motivated.
- 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.
- Strong Ecosystem. The broader Monad ecosystem has attracted support from leading investors, builders and long‑term contributors.
