Software Engineer Intern at Ritual Remote About Ritual Ritual is building a sovereign layer for AI. Our first phase, Infernet, is the first product of its kind to enable developers to access models both on-chain via smart contracts and off-chain. Our next phase, the Ritual chain, will be a sovereign layer custom-built to support AI-native operations and enable a new class of applications at the intersection of crypto and AI. About the role Prototype rapidly, iterate and execute quickly based on technical guidance Work at the frontier of modern cryptographic schemes and open-source AI Release your work into the open-source world and build alongside the Ritual community About you Intellectually curious around intersections of interdisciplinary fields ranging from game theory to cryptography to machine learning Quick iteration and development cycles on writing and/or proof-of-concept Extras Experience in cryptography, machine learning software projects, ideally in open-source land Why join us Join a passionate group of engineers, researchers, and operators on a mission to build the next generation of AI infrastructure hardened by cryptographic schemes We work completely in open-source and ship weekly Maximize your knowledge gradient around fields that typically would not intersect We’re open to exceptional people of all backgrounds for research (e.g. high school, undergraduate and postgraduate degree).
