Category Labs develops decentralized systems and infrastructure for high-performance blockchain applications.
This company offers a hybrid work model combining remote and office work.
Category Labs pioneers high-performance blockchain infrastructure. You'll work on Monad, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain engineered for unprecedented speed. We build the core systems for decentralized applications, focusing on low-latency and high-throughput architectures. Our innovations, like optimistic parallel execution, target 10,000 transactions per second. This makes Monad a game-changer for mass user adoption in crypto. We're shaping the future of decentralized finance and web3.
We are a lean, deeply technical team of 51-100 employees, united by ambitious goals. You'll join a culture emphasizing collaboration, low ego, and high-quality output. We value intellectual curiosity, honesty, and a data-driven approach. Most importantly, we foster a "no-bs mentality." Our team works globally, with remote options, and offers a hybrid setup in New York.
We design decentralized systems and infrastructure, inspired by high-frequency trading. You will solve complex problems in low-level systems engineering. Our work includes designing and implementing execution environments for EVM-compatible blockchains. We craft software components for transaction processing and state management. You might research systems verification, multi-core algorithms, or compiler optimization. Our tech stack includes C++, clang, LLVM, gdb, perf, unix, and git. We are building new database and consensus mechanisms for scalability.
