Job Description

Category Labs (formerly known as Monad Labs) is a team of systems engineers and researchers on a mission to design and build at the frontier of decentralized technology. We strive to design and build step-function improvements over existing blockchain solutions. After recently raising $225M in series A funding, led by Paradigm, we are growing our team.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Security Engineer who will be responsible for ensuring the security of our systems and infrastructure. Previous experience with crypto is preferred but not required. This role is based in New York City.

What You Will Do

  • Contribute to security architecture / design and assist in building and rolling out processes for secure code development and deployment
  • Interface with external security consultants and auditors
  • Assess new feature releases through threat modeling, code review and security testing. Also provide guidance on effective countermeasures
  • Build secure frameworks & libraries that engineering teams can use at scale
  • Build internal security tools and automate security-minded processes
  • Lead research into suspected application vulnerabilities
  • Design and lead the implementation of SDLC practices including code reviews, static / dynamic code analysis and vulnerability assessments.

Who You Are

  • 5 years experience in securing large scale distributed systems
  • Experience in assessing the security posture of systems / services
  • Experience with secure code review, penetration testing, and common security tools
  • Strong engineering background and programming experience (Python, Golang, Rust, Bash, etc.)
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work with remote teams
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant field, e.g. Computer Science, Information Systems / Technology, Cybersecurity, or equivalent practical experience
  • Additional Information

    Target full-time salary of $200,000. (

  • This is not a guarantee of compensation or salary; a final offer amount may vary based on factors including but not limited to experience, domain expertise, and geographic location.)
  • 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 very slow. 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 team.
  • Culture . We're a lean team working together to achieve very ambitious goals. We are united in our culture of collaboration, low egos, and high-quality outputs. As an early member of our team, you'll help continue to shape our culture.
  • Compensation . You'll receive a competitive salary and equity package.
  • Resources and growth. We're well-capitalized, with backing from leading venture funds like Paradigm, Electric Capital, Greenoaks, Dragonfly, and Coinbase Ventures. We keep a lean team, and this is a rare opportunity to join. You'll learn a lot and grow as our company scales.
  • Benefits

    Company benefits for US-based full-time employees include medical, dental, and vision insurance (100% coverage for employees); unlimited and encouraged paid time off; monthly mental health and fitness stipend; paid parental leave; and 10 company-observed holidays.
