Software Engineer Intern

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).
