About Ritual
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.
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).
