The TEE Specialist will design and implement TEE-based solutions for secure AI model execution, optimize TEE and GPU integration, and develop verification mechanisms for computational integrity.
About Ritual
About the roleRitual 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.
We're seeking a TEE Specialist to pioneer the next generation of on-chain compute verifiability solutions. You'll be at the forefront of integrating TEE technology with GPU compute for AI workloads, working on immediate, high-impact initiatives that are crucial for making fully onchain AI practical.
