At Nethermind, We Lead in AI Innovation
We are leading the charge in AI innovation, driving progress through
groundbreaking research, smart solutions, and impactful real-world
applications. We are dedicated to decentralizing AI and developing
solutions on leading blockchains, including Starknet and Worldcoin, we
are shaping a decentralized future that prioritizes privacy, innovation,
and advanced digital ecosystems. As pioneers in agentic AI, we empower
systems to make autonomous, intelligent decisions, accelerating digital
transformation.
Ready to Shape the Future with AI? At Nethermind,
we’re passionate about pushing boundaries. Our Agentic Internship offers
you the chance to work at the intersection of cutting-edge technology
and real-world impact.
From day one, you’ll contribute to building innovative AI systems
that streamline processes and empower users, all while gaining hands-on
experience with the latest in AI and blockchain technologies.
We’re not just thinking about today—we’re crafting solutions for the
future. If you're excited to build smarter and more intuitive systems,
this is your opportunity to get involved, explore, and innovate
alongside a dynamic team.
What You'll Do
Dive into the frontier of autonomous agent development by working on
challenging problems that push the boundaries of what agents can
achieve. You'll:
- Architect and implement autonomous agents that can decompose complex
tasks, reason about their environment, and execute multi-step plans
with minimal human intervention. This includes designing agent
workflows, developing decision-making frameworks, and implementing
feedback loops for continuous improvement.
- Collaborate with our research team to explore novel approaches to
agent orchestration, including techniques for managing agent-to-agent
communication, handling task delegation, and optimizing resource
allocation across agent networks.
- Research and implement advanced prompting strategies and knowledge
extension mechanisms (RAG and others) to enhance agent capabilities,
focusing on improving contextual understanding, task persistence, and
autonomous decision-making.
- Develop evaluation frameworks to measure agent performance,
reliability, and alignment with intended objectives. You'll help
establish metrics for assessing agent autonomy, task completion
accuracy, and safety constraints.
- Contribute to our agent infrastructure by building tools and
libraries that make it easier to create, deploy, and monitor autonomous
agents at scale. This includes working on agent memory systems,
error-handling mechanisms, and integration with external tools and APIs.
- Monitor and evaluate emerging agent frameworks, tools, and research
papers to identify opportunities for innovation and integration. You'll
analyze competing approaches, assess new tools' potential impact on
agent capabilities.
- Document your findings, share insights with the team, and help shape
the future of our agent development practices through regular
knowledge-sharing sessions and collaborative problem-solving.
We are looking for individuals who:
- Are deeply passionate about autonomous AI systems and have a genuine
curiosity about how to make agents think, reason, and act independently
to solve complex problems.
- Have hands-on experience with Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript, and
enjoy building scalable systems that can orchestrate multiple processes
and handle complex workflows.
- Are familiar with LLM frameworks (like LangChain, AutoGPT) and agent
development tools, or have a strong desire to learn them quickly.
- Think systematically about problems, with the ability to break down
complex agent behaviors into manageable components and design clear
decision-making flows.
- Excel at clear technical communication, particularly when explaining
complex agent architectures, documenting agent behaviors, and
collaborating in a remote environment.
- Have a strong foundation in prompt engineering or demonstrated
ability to structure clear, effective instructions for AI systems.
- Are excited about working at the intersection of AI safety, agent
autonomy, and practical implementation, with careful consideration for
responsible development practices.
- Bring a creative and analytical mindset to solving novel challenges
in agent development, whether it's designing new agent capabilities or
optimizing existing workflows.
