Developer Relations Engineer: Building the Core of Monad’s Ecosystem
We are seeking a Developer Relations Engineer to play a pivotal role in nurturing and expanding Monad’s early-stage developer community across Asia. As a bridge between the protocol and its builders, you’ll be instrumental in fostering innovation, education, and collaboration within the growing Web3 ecosystem.
This isn’t just a technical role—it’s a mission-driven position that blends engineering expertise with community leadership. You’ll help onboard the next generation of dapp developers, guide them through their journey on Monad, and empower them to build transformative applications.
Key Responsibilities
Promote Monad Technology
Introduce experienced Solidity developers to Monad’s unique architecture—highlighting its parallel execution engine, full EVM equivalence, and ultra-low latency. Craft compelling narratives that showcase how Monad enables scalable, efficient, and familiar development environments.
Engage in Events & Hackathons
Represent Monad at major blockchain conferences, hackathons, and meetups across Asia. Connect directly with developers, answer technical questions, provide real-time support, and inspire new projects built on the chain.
Organize Community Events
Design and execute both online and offline events—from AMAs and workshops to developer bootcamps and ecosystem summits. These initiatives will strengthen community bonds and accelerate adoption.
Create Educational Resources
Develop high-quality learning materials such as technical blogs, step-by-step tutorials, code samples, and video walkthroughs. Your content will serve as the foundation for onboarding thousands of developers into the Monad ecosystem.
Foster Cross-Community Collaboration
Build strategic partnerships with university blockchain clubs, Web3 incubators, and other developer communities. Launch joint programs, grant initiatives, and co-host events to broaden reach and deepen engagement.
👉 Be the catalyst for developer innovation on one of Web3’s most promising chains.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is this role remote or location-based?
A: While we’re focused on talent across Asia, this role offers flexibility. Candidates based in major tech hubs like Singapore, Tokyo, Seoul, or Bangalore may have hybrid options, but remote work is supported for exceptional applicants.
Q: Do I need prior experience in blockchain?
A: Yes—ideally with hands-on development or community work in Web3. Experience with Ethereum tooling (Hardhat, Foundry), Layer-2 solutions, or other EVM chains is highly valuable.
Q: What does “parallel execution” mean for developers?
A: It means your dApps run faster without code changes. Unlike other scaling solutions that require new languages or frameworks, Monad runs standard Solidity contracts at dramatically higher throughput.
Q: How large is the current team?
A: We’re a compact team of fewer than 20 core members—mostly engineers and researchers—ensuring agility and deep collaboration across functions.
Q: Will I be expected to travel frequently?
A: Yes—especially to attend key events and meetups across Asia. Travel is a core part of engaging with the developer community.
Q: Are there opportunities for career advancement?
A: Absolutely. As an early hire in a rapidly growing project, you’ll have clear pathways to lead larger initiatives, manage teams, or specialize in technical architecture.
