What are the responsibilities and job description for the Summer Fellowship 2025 position at Eigen Labs?
Eigen Labs is more than just a leading name in the blockchain space. We're the driving force behind EigenLayer, a game-changing solution that revolutionizes crypto-economic security. Imagine a world where blockchain projects break free from the shackles of the scaling trilemma and capital limitations.
We're building a platform to deliver security to novel distributed applications. In today's blockchain ecosystem, each service is typically secured by its own tokenized trust-network. With EigenLayer, services can build upon the established security of the Ethereum trust network, unlocking untold scalability while maintaining security and decentralization.
With EigenLayer, building blockchain infrastructure modules (AVSs) in a permissionless manner is no longer a hypothetical—it's our reality. Now, we invite you to be part of this exciting journey.
The Role
You will own the development of innovative applications and products that leverage Eigen's AVS toolkits and platform features during our intensive 8-week summer program. As part of a highly selective cohort of brilliant builders, you'll collaborate with our engineering team to create real-world solutions that advance our mission of building humanity's coordination engine for open innovation. Your work will directly contribute to our ecosystem growth while showcasing your exceptional talent and creativity.
What You Will Do
Equal Opportunity Employment
There's one more, very important thing. We are an equal opportunity employer. We search for amazing people of diverse backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. We take care of each other to create an inclusive work environment where we love to come to work every day. We hope you can join us.
