Ethereum Invites Applications for Inaugural Season of Internships

Ethereum has opened applications for its pioneering initiative, the Ethereum Season of Internships, a program aimed at attracting new talent to the blockchain ecosystem. This initiative, as announced on the Ethereum blog, seeks to provide paid, fully-remote internship opportunities across various segments of the Ethereum network.

Internship Details

The program is designed to create pathways for aspiring contributors to engage with Ethereum projects, offering roles in development, research, design, marketing, and more. Over 18 teams have collaborated to create more than 30 internship positions, each offering real-world experience and mentorship.

Opportunities and Benefits

Interns will have the chance to work directly with host teams on genuine Ethereum projects, contributing to codebases, research, or ecosystem initiatives. The program promises not only financial compensation but also the opportunity to build lasting relationships within the Ethereum community.

These internships are managed by the individual host teams rather than the Ethereum Foundation, allowing for a diverse array of experiences and insights into the blockchain ecosystem.

Application Process

Applications are open until June 29, and interested candidates are encouraged to browse available internships, choose projects that excite them, and follow the specific application instructions provided by each host team. Early engagement with projects is recommended to demonstrate initiative and commitment.

Timeline and Engagement

The program's timeline is structured with applications running from June 12 to June 29, followed by a selection period from June 30 to July 18. Onboarding will take place between July 21 and August 1, with the internship period running from August 4 to October 31.

Participants are encouraged to actively engage with potential projects by fixing bugs, suggesting improvements, contributing to documentation, and joining community spaces to enhance their visibility and understanding of the projects.

Conclusion

This initiative marks a significant effort by Ethereum to enrich its ecosystem with new talent and perspectives, aiming to foster a more inclusive and innovative community. Aspiring participants can explore and apply for these opportunities through the Ethereum job board and related platforms by the deadline, June 29.
