Ethereum Foundation Seeks AI Expert to Secure Network

The Ethereum Foundation is looking to fill a crucial position - an AI Security Researcher. The researcher will be responsible for investigating vulnerabilities in various parts of the ETH network, including the execution layer and consensus layer.

The role requires extensive knowledge of the Ethereum protocol, with a preference given to engineers who have already contributed to protocol development. The successful candidate will also need to review changes scheduled for hard forks, manually audit protocol updates, and disclose confirmed vulnerabilities.

The position is open to remote candidates worldwide and follows recent tests by the Ethereum Foundation using coordinated AI agents against protocol code and cryptographic software. This move comes after a recent hack that saw $130 million in Bitcoin stolen in just a few days.
