AI Project Manager
About the Ethereum Foundation The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is a global non-profit dedicated to supporting Ethereum’s long-term success. Our mission is to allocate resources to critical projects, advocate for Ethereum within the ecosystem, and promote its vision to the world. About the Team and Role The EF launched a new dAI Team focused on making Ethereum the global, decentralized settlement and coordination layer for AI. The team will define standards, support ecosystem builders, and lay the groundwork for open, censorship-resistant, and verifiable AI systems. As AI Project Manager , you will help align protocol improvements, ecosystem initiatives, and external collaborations. This is a hybrid role that combines technical understanding with strategic coordination: part researcher, part program manager, part developer relations. You’ll track what’s happening across the decentralized AI landscape, support projects building on Ethereum, and coordinate efforts so the community advances together rather than in silos. This coordination will include particular initiatives led by the dAI team, such as the recent ERC-8004 proposal , while also shaping the next wave of work. Areas of focus for coordination efforts include: - Standardizing agent-to-agent protocols on Ethereum and aligning with adjacent specifications. - Defining primitives for verifiable inference, decentralized compute, privacy and user-owned data. - Coordinating across L2s, infrastructure projects, and applications/agents builders so that adoption compounds. Key Activities - Coordinate research and standards development (e.g., for agent payments, trust, privacy, A2A/MCP integration, open models). - Engage with teams building AI infra and applications on Ethereum: understand their architectures, identify gaps, and connect them with EF resources. - Organize and facilitate working groups, design discussions, and workshops across EF, L2s, and ecosystem partners. - Synthesize community feedback and help shape sp Apply tot his job
