Jobbeschreibung

We’re building a Web3 developer reputation platform that creates verifiable developer profiles from on-chain activity, smart contract deployments, attestations, project history, technical contributions, and AI-based analysis.

We’re looking for an experienced Senior AI Protocol Engineer to design and improve the AI systems behind developer analysis, reputation scoring, technical evidence processing, and protocol-level decision logic.

Responsibilities

• Design and build AI-powered developer analysis and reputation systems
• Develop scoring, ranking, classification, and technical evaluation pipelines
• Integrate LLMs and AI models with blockchain and on-chain data
• Build structured workflows for processing GitHub activity, smart contracts, attestations, project history, and other technical evidence
• Design AI agents and automated reasoning workflows for developer verification and assessment
• Improve model reliability, consistency, explainability, and resistance to manipulation
• Develop evaluation frameworks for AI-generated reputation scores and technical assessments
• Work on protocol rules connecting AI outputs with attestations, reputation data, and smart contracts
• Design APIs and backend services for AI inference and protocol integrations
• Optimize inference cost, latency, caching, and scalability
• Identify prompt injection, data poisoning, Sybil, reputation gaming, and other AI/protocol security risks
• Write tests, evaluation tooling, monitoring systems, and technical documentation

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong practical experience in AI, protocol engineering, blockchain infrastructure, or related systems

Experience in one or more of the following areas is especially relevant:

• LLM application and protocol engineering
• AI agents and autonomous workflows
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
• AI evaluation and benchmarking
• Structured outputs and tool/function calling
• Python / TypeScript
• Open-source or commercial LLM integration
• Embeddings, vector search, and semantic retrieval
• AI inference infrastructure
• Reputation, ranking, recommendation, or scoring systems
• Blockchain / Web3 data
• Smart contracts and attestations
• Decentralized identity or verifiable credentials
• AI security and adversarial testing
• ZKML, verifiable inference, or decentralized AI protocols

You do not need experience with everything. Strong hands-on experience building production AI systems, protocol infrastructure, or AI + Web3 applications is more important than familiarity with every technology listed above.

Experience working with developer tooling, GitHub data, blockchain analytics, reputation systems, or technical assessment platforms is especially relevant.
