Category Labs (formerly Monad Labs) is building high-performance infrastructure around an optimized EVM client designed to improve blockchain throughput without sacrificing portability. This position sits within web3 smart contract roles focused on application-layer engineering over a next-generation EVM implementation. As a Smart Contract Engineer, you will design and implement Solidity...
I’m applying to Rust protocol engineer roles that work in US overlap hours, and I’ve realized generic claims like “improved performance” don’t help much unless the proof is easy to...
I’m a mid level smart contract security engineer evaluating Singapore smart contract security jobs, and I’m trying to decide whether to target audit firms or in house security teams without...
I’m exploring Rust jobs in Singapore and I’m trying to map the real market (not just “Rust preferred” in a JD). In Web3, who actually hires Rust engineers here —...
I’m in late-stage interviews for a US-based Web3 role (remote), and the last mile is getting stuck on “how I’ll be paid.” The team is open to a few structures:...
In a recent US DeFi team Solidity interview (remote loop), I got asked: “What are the risks of making an external call in a smart contract, and how would you...
I’m preparing for Security PM interviews in US Web3 teams, and I keep getting stuck on one practical question: when candidates talk about bug bounty work or audit work, what...
I’m testing an upgradeable Solidity system (proxy pattern) and I’m realizing “tests passing” doesn’t automatically mean the upgrade is safe. The scary part is that upgrade failures can look fine...
Hi everyone,
I have a background in cybersecurity (mostly penetration testing), and I’m currently pursuing a master’s with a concentration in blockchain security. Alongside that, I’m working with a blockchain...
Smart contract QA testing is not generic software testing with blockchain vocabulary added on top. In Web3, QA means validating contract behavior under irreversible execution, state changes, privilege boundaries, gas...
I’m in late-stage interviews for a DeFi-focused Solidity developer role with a US-based team (remote). They’ve been clear that the offer will be contingent on a standard background check plus...
Yesterday I had a smart contract interview with a US-based Web3 startup (small team, very practical round). They went deep on EVM storage gas: SSTORE vs SLOAD, warm vs cold...
I’m a Solidity dev with ~4 years of experience, based in Germany. I’m applying to remote Web3 roles with US teams (protocol / DeFi / infra), but a lot of...
The term “Web3 experience” is so broad that I’m struggling to decode what US Web3 startups actually mean when they put it in a job description. A few roles even...
I’m seeing very different hiring behaviour for Solidity and Rust roles depending on whether the team is based in NYC, SF, or fully remote — and it’s most visible at...
I’ve spent the last three years as a Web2 full-stack developer (React, Node, AWS) building and scaling production apps. Recently I keep searching the same thing: how can i transition...
Quick context before I sign anything — I’m sanity-checking: EP vs contractor/EOR, what “hybrid” actually means week-to-week, and whether the pay is mostly SGD or mostly token “upside”. Also trying...
I’m a Solidity dev who ends up doing a lot of QA-style performance checks, and I’m doing web3 interview prep for US-based remote roles.In a recent L2 bridge change, a...
I’m interviewing for a Solidity/security role and the posting was “Remote (US)”. On the first call they mentioned “a few in-person weeks” in NYC/SF for team planning. I’m genuinely comfortable...
I’m moving from Web2 backend into Solidity and trying to choose one workflow that actually helps me clear first-round smart contract interviews in Singapore.
Most take-homes I’m seeing are less...
