Senior Researcher, Systems
Category Labs
Chemist job in New York, NY
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 systems researchers with a strong interest in databases and operating systems. Candidates with research experience in systems verification, operating systems, multi-core algorithms, or systems architecture, are an ideal match. You will be part of a small, deeply technical team, working on high-impact problems in a fast-paced environment. Although we are building a new blockchain, previous experience with crypto is not expected.
What You Will Do
Designing performant algorithms and architectures related to storage or recovery, in single-node or distributed environments.
Researching new architectures
Tech stack: C++, clang, LLVM, gdb, perf, unix, git
Who You Are
PhD in Computer Science or equivalent
