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

We are looking for an experienced smart contract engineer to join our team to help build and maintain our open-source smart contract libraries and frameworks.
