Why work here
- Work that ships.Improve a production gateway, not a portfolio project.
- Own a bounded problem.Start with a clear technical question and take it through to a useful result.
- Make it inspectable.The format and verifier are open, so the work has to stand up to another engineer reading it.
Open roles
AqtaCore Engineering Intern
Work on AqtaCore, the gateway that evaluates policy before an AI request leaves and creates a signed record of the decision. You will own a bounded piece of backend or infrastructure work, from design through deployment, on a system already in production.
You
- Comfortable in Python, and you care that code reads as cleanly as it runs.
- Ready to make a well-defined part of a production system materially better.
ZK / Cryptography Research Intern
This is research, not a deployed gateway feature. Explore how a proof can show that policy was applied without revealing the underlying prompt, then turn the useful parts into prototypes against the open ATTESTATION-v1 format and public verifiers.
You
- A strong mathematics or computer-science foundation, with curiosity about elliptic-curve cryptography and proof systems.
- Familiarity with Groth16, Schnorr proofs, Rust, Python, or circom is useful but not required.
How we work
Working styleWe value clear thinking, readable code, and decisions that leave a useful record behind.
LocationAqtaCore engineering is Dublin-based. The research placement can be remote within the EU and Switzerland.
