Backend Engineer

At the heart of Ritual lies a foundational belief that the current state of artificial intelligence is flawed, constrained by centralization and permissioned access. The team at Ritual is driven by a mission to dismantle these barriers, fostering a future where AI is an open, transparent, and permissionless resource for everyone. The company's culture is deeply rooted in the principles of decentralization, privacy, and verifiable integrity. They are not just building another tech platform; they are cultivating a new ecosystem for AI, one that is governed by its community and built on the tenets of cryptographic trust and censorship resistance. This vision is for a world where developers and creators are no longer beholden to the whims of large corporations, but are empowered to build, share, and improve AI models in an open and collaborative environment.

The team is a collective of passionate builders, researchers, and operators who bring together deep expertise in distributed systems, cryptography, and artificial intelligence, united by a long-term commitment to the crypto space. This is a culture of quiet execution and a focus on solving the hard, fundamental problems that many others shy away from. Ritual's approach is modular and chain-agnostic, designed to act as an 'AI sidecar' that can plug into any blockchain, be it Ethereum, Solana, or Cosmos. This philosophy of interoperability and seamless integration is central to their goal of becoming the universal execution layer for AI in the web3 world. They are creating a space where AI is not just a buzzword, but a verifiable, trustworthy primitive that can be integrated into any application with the same guarantees of a smart contract, ultimately unlocking the full, uninhibited potential of artificial intelligence for humanity.
