  • Responsibilities

    ConsenSys is a venture production studio focused on building and scaling tools and enterprise software products powered by Ethereum. Our mission is to use these solutions to power the emerging economic, social, and political operating systems of the planet. Our teams are busy at work building the future of identity, financial markets, commerce, the music industry, security and infrastructure, and more.

    As a ConsenSys intern you will be embedded with one of our teams and receive 1-to-1 mentorship while making real contributions towards building the Internet of tomorrow.

    This paid summer internship is completely remote (i.e. not in an office) and is on the MythX team.

    About the MythX team:

    • The MythX team is building a SaaS solution that brings advanced security analysis directly into smart contract development environments.
    • The current team is made up of about 9 development squads working on different components and services that go to make up the MythX product. There are Marketing and Business managers.
    • The role would be to work mainly with the Marketing and Business managers on raising awareness of MythX product in the community, and also to engage with the development squad teams to learn about existing community activities and connections to build upon.
    • You will learn how to engage and develop a community awareness using social media and any other marketing options at the team's disposal.
    • You also will have the opportunity to bring fresh ideas and approaches in community engagement.

    Internship Responsibilities:

    • Join Marketing & Business calls, collaborate on ideas for community engagement and then execute on these.
    • Engage with the MythX developers and learn about existing community connections to build on.
    • Follow up on any community leads.
    • Reach out to other ConsenSys community leads and leverage any best practices that the MythX team could use.

    Here are some of the perks of being part of a unique organization like ConsenSys:

    • The forefront of a revolution. At ConsenSys we fundamentally believe that the next generation of technologies presents the opportunity to create a more just and equitable society.
    • A dynamic startup environment. ConsenSys is a thought leader in the blockchain space and we are absorbing a significant portion of the mindshare. This is both exciting and challenging, as we learn to scale our organization while adhering to the principles of decentralization.
    • Continuous learning. You'll be constantly exposed to new languages, frameworks, and ideas from your peers and as you work on different projects -- challenging you to stay at the top of your game.
    • Deep technical challenges. This entire ecosystem is about 10 years old. Ethereum itself is still a toddler. There is much work to be done before these platforms can scale to the order of millions or billions of users. ConsenSys is building the technology platforms that can get us to those next thresholds of scale.

    Past ConsenSys interns across the company have:

    • Contributed theoretical research to the Ethereum Foundation
    • Published among the earliest decompositions of the DAO hack
    • Helped INFURA scale to serve more than 40 million request per day
    • Contributed code to uPort, Boardroom, Weifund, the Proof-of-Physical-Address project and the original Ujo Music prototype—one of the most heavily transacted-with smart contracts in the first six months of the Ethereum mainnet.
  • Qualifications

    Ideal Experience and Skills:

    • Good interpersonal skills and presentation skills.
    • Some experience in using social media to raise product / service awareness.
    • Ability to networks across the team and within Consensys
    • Can work remotely

    Nice to Have OR Bonus Points:

    • Be a self starter with good time management given the role is remote.
  • Compensation
    $25-$30 per hour

  • About Us

    ConsenSys is a global formation of technologists and entrepreneurs working to build decentralized software on the Ethereum Blockchain. Our vision is that blockchain technology will allow us to progress to the next generation of the Web, that we call the “Web 3.0”. We are a global 'mesh' working across 30+ countries who operate on self-organising principles, moving away from the top-down command and control system, encouraging teams to create their own governance models based on principles of transparency, feedback and autonomy. At ConsenSys, you'll have the opportunity to learn, contribute, build, and play alongside a supportive and likeminded community.
