Description
Ritual is building a sovereign, execution layer for AI, with its 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.
As a Research Intern at Ritual, you will:
- Prototype new mechanisms and work to productionize your research
- Operate at the frontier of modern cryptographic schemes and open-source AI
- Collaborate closely with the engineering and product teams to ensure your research has real-world impact
- Release your work into the open-source world and build alongside the Ritual community
You should be:
- Intellectually curious about the latest advancements in machine learning, cryptography, and how they intersect
- Motivated to see your research go beyond academic papers and have a tangible impact
- Experienced in taking research projects or experiments from ideation to prototype code or implementation, either independently or coordinating with engineering teams
- Able to quickly iterate and develop proofs-of-concept
Nice to have:
- Existing research or writing published in conferences or journals
- Comfort with algebraic structures, distributed systems, mechanism design, or statistical modeling
By joining Ritual, you will:
- Be part of a team building the next generation of AI infrastructure hardened by cryptographic schemes
- Work completely in open-source and ship weekly
- Maximize your knowledge across fields that typically don't intersect
Ritual is open to exceptional individuals of all backgrounds for research internships.
