At Monad Foundation, we are a team of dedicated ecosystem and community builders who are on a mission to usher in a future powered by blockchain technology. We believe that the Monad blockchain--a performant and parallel EVM Layer 1--can bring that future into the present.

The Role

The Ecosystem team accelerates the growth of the Monad ecosystem by organizing initiatives that educate and elevate ambitious dapp builders. A few examples of initiatives include the Monad Madness pitch competition, the Mach One accelerator, and the Monad 101 workshop series.

As the Southeast Asia (SEA) Ecosystem Lead, you’ll define and implement initiatives to expand Monad ecosystem presence in Southeast Asia with an emphasis on community building and builder development. This includes growth across all builder stages (from early-stage developers to established teams) and verticals (DeFi, gaming, NFTs, etc). You will lean on intuition, creativity, and data-driven evidence to identify and pursue strategic opportunities, establish and maintain strong relationships, and enhance Monad ecosystem visibility and reputation in SEA. You are ready and willing to tackle any challenge, no problem too small.

This role offers a unique opportunity to impart massive impact on the trajectory of the Monad ecosystem.

What You Will Do

• Develop, manage, and execute new and existing initiatives that grow the Monad builder community, such as founder bootcamps, demo days and hackathons

• Encourage builders to deepen ties within the Monad ecosystem and community, including composability with other Monad ecosystem apps

• Create pathways for interested parties to learn and engage with the Monad ecosystem

• Collaborate with a range of external counterparties–including builders, investors, exchanges, and infra providers—to promote the growth of the Monad ecosystem

• Work alongside cross-functional teams internally including Business Development, DevRel, Marketing, and Operations

• Be a leading member of the SEA builder community, online and irl, to help crypto grow in SEA

Who You Are

• 5 years of relevant professional experience, with 2 years in a similar role in Web3 ideally at an L1/L2 blockchain

• Fluent in English and at least 1 prominent language in SEA (e.g. Thai, Vietnamese, Bahasa Malay/Indonesia)

• Based in Southeast Asia with a strong industry network in SEA

• Demonstrated track record of end-to-end ownership of large scale projects

• An excellent written and verbal communicator with a track record to show

• No-ego, resourceful, detail-oriented, and biased toward action with reverence to team priorities

• Adept at managing relationships and expectations across many stakeholders

Nice to Have

• Existing familiarity with and enthusiasm for the Monad ecosystem

• Experience working at an early-stage startup

• Fluency in multiple languages

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.
