Senior DevOps Engineer

Monad Foundation

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 and support them
• Develop tooling for internal and 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
• 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.
