Job description

Who We Are

SupraOracles is here to define the future of information services in global markets! We are an exciting, ambitious, and well-funded startup with some unique technical capabilities that we believe will help cement us as a future leader in decentralized data.

We’re a diverse team of professionals, academics, and advisors with experience from leading institutions such as the Euronext Stock Exchange, JPMorgan Chase, Qualcomm, ConsenSys, and Sony. Our global foundation is located in Switzerland, however we are a remote first company and you’ll be joining a globally distributed team distributed across over 29 countries!

Our project is spearheaded by seasoned professionals with experience in the architecture of consensus mechanisms, randomness research, real-time data services, investment banking, digital securities, traditional stock exchanges, big data, doctoral academia, big 4 consulting, blockchain/DLT, and DeFi. Join us to help progress our solution to the Oracle Dilemma.

We thrive on trust and honesty. We believe in the positive and ethical impacts these cutting-edge technologies in a decentralized environment can have on the world.

Your alignment and cultural fitment to these core values and beliefs are of considerable value to us.

What we're looking for

Achieving consistency in modern large-scale and fault-tolerant distributed systems often relies on intricate consensus protocols. Ensuring the reliability of implementations of such protocols remains a significant challenge because of the enormous number of exceptional conditions that may arise in production.

Netrix is a tool and a methodology for testing such implementations that aims to exploit programmer's knowledge to improve coverage, enables robust bug reproduction, and can be used in regression testing across different versions of an implementation.

This has been applied to Tendermint, a popular proof of stake blockchain protocol, Tendermint and to a popular benign consensus algorithm, Raft.

It has been able to identify deviations of the implementation from the protocol specification and verify corrections on an updated implementation. The internship involves using the Netrix tool to test the chained Moonshot consensus protocol implementation, the protocol underlying Supra Oracle's block chain infrastructure.

Based on performance, there is a high chance of being inducted into the highly talented team of Supra Engineers.

Are you the right person for this role?

The ideal candidate for us has:

Essential:

Final year undergraduate or above
Formal methods background

Desirable:

Netrix Tool experience

Internship Duration:

At least four months based on mutual agreement
