Quantitative Researcher

Monad Labs • Full-time • Remote (Remote; NYC) • 4w ago

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 are looking for an exceptional quant to work on data science and machine learning problems in the blockchain space. The work will be challenging, as it will involve predictive modeling for a variety of topics like transaction dependencies, user behavior, network behavior, etc. We’re looking for someone who has excelled in other environments where predictive analytics had a direct impact on the bottom line, such as high-frequency trading or traditional tech. Your work will directly impact the performance and economics of one of the biggest upcoming blockchain projects in the space.

What You Will Do

Work on greenfield predictive modeling problems related to blockchain performance and system/user behavior. Problems may be open-ended; you’ll have to devise and prototype a variety of approaches before finding the correct solution.

Who You Are

At least 3 years of experience building predictive models, preferably at a HFT firm
You’re creative, self-motivated and independent
You have excellent knowledge of predictive modeling techniques including linear regression, decision trees, and neural nets
You know numpy and pandas like the back of your hand
You’ve built something significant from scratch
Bonus: You are crypto-native

Why Work with Us

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.

Salary and Benefits

Benefits for full-time employees include medical, dental, and vision insurance (100% coverage for employees); generous paid time off; paid parental leave; and 10 company-observed holidays.
