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

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. Working closely with product, engineering, and research, you will play a critical role in architecting and implementing the core protocol, useful libraries and tooling, and adjacent prototypes.

We are a lean and agile organization. The ideal candidate thrives in autonomous environments, has a mastery of smart-contract engineering, and enjoys building new products from scratch.

  • Building and maintaining core smart contract frameworks and libraries
  • Managing smart-contract release lifecycles; from architecting to audit to post-release

  • Collaborating with a cross-functional team of engineers, designers, researchers, product managers, and operations teammates to create best-in-class products
About you
  • General mastery of software engineering principles

  • Deep understanding of the EVM and differences across L1/L2/L3 environments
  • Familiarity with network node architectures (geth, reth, op-stack, orbit, etc.)
  • Experience participating in past smart contract code audits (maintainer or auditor)
  • Desire to dive in at the lowest level; experience to know when not to
  • Strong communication and collaboration abilities; emphasis on written communication
Extras
  • Experience with alternative, non-EVM-based execution environments
  • Past experience in contributing to or maintaining open-source projects
Why join us 
  • Join a passionate group of engineers, researchers, and operators on a mission to build the next generation of AI infrastructure
