About OpenxAI

• OpenxAI is a permissionless, open AI network that enables anyone, anywhere to build and monetize AI apps and services using Web3 technologies — without banks, cloud accounts, approvals, or middlemen. The network is powered by decentralized GPU infrastructure and tokenized AI ownership, giving creators full control over their data, AI models, work, and rewards.
• Born in Australia five years ago as an open-source initiative, we have since partnered with some of the world’s largest data centers and GPU providers to push the boundaries of decentralized compute. With a worldwide GPU pool up to 80 percent cheaper than AWS, Google, Azure, or Hugging Face, OpenxAI enables anyone — from a solo developer with a bold idea to a global AI startup — to launch at scale, instantly.
• Our flagship platform, OpenxAI Studio, allows anyone to launch an AI company, deploy AI apps, or release AI agents in under five minutes — bringing production-grade AI to the hands of builders worldwide.
• Our team consists of 40+ contributors and AI and Web3 veterans from across the industry, including builders from Fantom, AWS, Chainlink, Solana, ICP, Binance, NEAR, and AragonDAO.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain software components for OpenxAI’s decentralized AI platform.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement backend and frontend features, including APIs and smart contract integrations.
• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code to support platform scalability and reliability.
• Assist in testing and debugging to ensure high-quality, performant software solutions.
• Contribute to the development of tools and infrastructure to enhance the platform’s decentralized capabilities.
• What You Will Get
• Direct access to a fast-scaling AI + Web3 project.
• Work closely with a high-performance founder and engineering team on mission-critical activities.

• Full flexibility — remote, async-friendly, focus is on results.
• Growth opportunity to evolve into a senior engineering role or specialized software position for the right candidate.

Requirements

• Current enrollment in or recent graduation from a Bachelor’s degree program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field at an Australian university. Students in their final years are strongly encouraged to apply.
• Hands-on experience in software development through coursework, personal projects, internships, or research, including proficiency in languages like Python, JavaScript, or similar.
• Familiarity with web development frameworks (e.g., React, Node.js) or blockchain technologies (e.g., smart contracts, decentralized systems) is a plus.
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git) and basic understanding of software development best practices.
• Eagerness to learn, adapt, and thrive in a dynamic, fast-moving startup environment.
