Interns will prototype rapidly, iterate, and contribute to open-source projects at the intersection of AI and cryptography.
About Ritual
About the role Ritual is building a sovereign, execution layer for AI, with our private testnet already live and running. The Ritual chain is the first blockchain custom-built to support AI-native operations, designed from the ground up to enable a new class of applications at the intersection of crypto and AI. Our first product, Infernet, is pioneering new ground as the first solution to enable developers to access AI models both on-chain via smart contracts and off-chain, demonstrating our commitment to bridging these transformative technologies.
- 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
- 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
- Experience in cryptography, machine learning software projects, ideally in open-source land
- 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).
