Key highlights
- Work completely in open‑source and ship weekly
- Join a passionate group of engineers, researchers, and operators building AI infrastructure hardened by cryptographic schemes
- Experience in cryptography and machine learning software projects (preferred)
- Rapid prototyping and quick iteration cycles based on technical guidance
- Open to candidates from high school through postgraduate degrees
Role overview
Ritual is building a sovereign execution layer for AI, with a private testnet already live and the Ritual chain—the first blockchain custom‑built to support AI‑native operations. The role focuses on rapid prototyping, working at the frontier of modern cryptographic schemes and open‑source AI, and releasing work to the open‑source community.
Responsibilities
- 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
Requirements
- Intellectually curious about interdisciplinary fields ranging from game theory to cryptography to machine learning
- Ability to perform quick iteration and development cycles on writing and/or proof‑of‑concept
- Open to exceptional people of all backgrounds for research (e.g., high school, undergraduate, and postgraduate degree)
Nice to have
- Experience in cryptography, machine learning software projects, ideally in open‑source environments
Benefits
- Join a passionate group of engineers, researchers, and operators building next‑generation AI infrastructure hardened by cryptographic schemes
- Work completely in open‑source and ship weekly
- Maximize your knowledge gradient across fields that typically do not intersect
Additional details
- Ritual is building a sovereign, execution layer for AI with a private testnet live and running; the Ritual chain is the first blockchain custom‑built to support AI‑native operations
- The first product, Infernet, enables developers to access AI models both on‑chain via smart contracts and off‑chain
