• Portfolio demonstrates: strong examples of 2D and 3D animation, storyboard/motion studies, logo/title/transition animations, and educational/technical content presented clearly and engagingly.
• Bonus: work relevant to crypto/web3 culture, livestream/podcast design, or interactive UI animation.

Preferred

• Located in or able to generally adhere to EST time zone work hours (remote).
• Crypto-native: understands crypto culture and main characters.

Benefits

• 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.
