About this role
You’ll own the development of EigenCloud-native applications and product prototypes during our intensive 10-week summer program. You’ll ship in rapid milestones, build in public (where appropriate), and produce real, usable artifacts that help developers adopt EigenCloud.
As part of a highly selective cohort of builders, you’ll work closely with our engineers and mentors to create real-world solutions that advance our mission: building humanity’s coordination engine for open innovation. Your work will directly accelerate ecosystem growth through reference apps, tooling, and launchable products. You will have access to industry leaders who will serve as mentors.
This program will be on-site in San Francisco. We will consider applicants with valid US work authorization only.
What You Will Do
- Choose a problem space and either build solo or form a small team with other fellows
- Rapidly prototype ideas and bring them to a working POC in 3–5 days
- Build products that showcase what EigenCloud enables (apps, developer tools, templates, integrations, workflows)
- Iterate in weekly milestones: ship → get feedback → refine
- Work closely with mentors/engineers through reviews, office hours, and async feedback loops (no structured bootcamp)
- Present progress in weekly standups and deliver a polished demo at the Hackathon Finale / Demo Day
- Produce high-quality deliverables that help others build (e.g., open-source repo, docs, demo video, sample deployment)
- If there’s strong traction, you may extend the project beyond the program and/or transition to a full-time role
What You Will Bring
- Creative thinking ability to brainstorm strong and unique ideas that solve real problems
- Proficiency with modern development tools like Cursor to accelerate your workflow
- An all-in attitude and willingness to put your best effort into every aspect of your work
- Ability to move fast and bring products to proof-of-concept in less than 3-5 days
- High agency and self-direction to take ownership of projects and drive them to completion
- Passion for blockchain technology and alignment with our mission of permissionless innovation
- Strong technical foundation and eagerness to learn new technologies quickly
- Collaborative spirit and ability to thrive in a fast-paced team environment
