We’re seeking a highly skilled Senior/Staff Backend Engineer passionate about solving complex problems and motivated to shape the MEV landscape on Monad with high-performance solutions. In this role, you will help design, build, and optimize MEV-related infrastructure, with a focus on block building, transaction ordering, and low-latency execution strategies etc. You’ll work on systems at the intersection of blockchain, trading, and networking, helping to advance the frontier of MEV innovation.


What You’ll Do



  • Design and implement performance-critical backend systems for MEV infrastructure throughout the transaction lifecycle.

  • Contribute to the development of infrastructure for validator-client integration, relay communication, and block propagation.

  • Optimize code for latency, throughput, and reliability in adversarial network conditions.

  • Stay informed about MEV developments in Ethereum, Solana, and other ecosystems


What We’re Looking For



  • 4-10 years of backend programming experience with expertise in low-level languages like C++ and Rust (experience in both is a plus, but not required).

  • Proven backend engineering experience in MEV infrastructure, trading/searching, or block-building organizations.

  • Experience designing production-grade, low-latency, high-performance networking architecture and distributed systems.

  • Proven track record of technical leadership and project ownership from start to finish.

  • Ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced, collaborative remote environment with strong ownership.


Nice to Have



  • Familiarity with blockchain internals and validator client behavior.

  • Contributions to open-source MEV infra or tooling projects.

  • Experience in performance tuning and networking stack optimization.

  • HFT experience.

  • Academic background from a top-tier university and/or experience at a well-regarded technology company
