About this role
## Engineering Intern — General / AI ### Why blockchain data isn’t enough Blockchain data is **public**, but it’s **not usable at institutional scale**. Even simple questions (e.g., *largest Ethereum token holders over time*) can require running nodes, ingesting full chain history, decoding contracts, cleaning edge cases, and writing complex SQL. **Blockchains are optimized for writes, not reads.** They’re built for consensus and execution—not searchability, standardization, or financial interpretation. ### What Allium is building **ALLIUM IS BUILDING THE SYSTEM OF RECORD FOR ONCHAIN FINANCE** Allium ingests, verifies, and standardizes data across **140+ blockchains** and **30+ petabytes** of history. They close four structural gaps: - **Semantic Gap:** Translate raw events into financial concepts (payments, trades, deposits, staking income) - **Standardization Gap:** Map thousands of protocols into a single canonical cross-chain schema - **Infrastructure Gap:** Read-optimized, globally distributed data at web scale - **Accountability Gap:** Auditable methodology, SLAs, and **SOC 1 & 2** compliance **Result:** a neutral, canonical data layer institutions can build on with confidence. ### Finance is moving onchain Stablecoins, tokenized assets, trading, staking, and lending are growing rapidly. Institutions need a trusted source of truth for onchain activity—similar to **Bloomberg** or **DTCC**. As **AI agents** begin transacting autonomously, the requirement becomes stricter: agents can’t reliably reason over raw event logs. They need **structured data, attribution, condition checks, and auditability**. Allium provides the **read layer** that makes onchain finance usable for humans and machines. ### Who we serve Allium powers three core personas with the same canonical data foundation: 1. **Finance, Accounting, and Risk Teams** - Financial reporting, reconciliation, compliance, risk monitoring, defensible metrics for auditors/regulators 2. **Engineers and Product Teams** - Low-latency, production-ready infrastructure for wallets, trading systems, payment rails, staking, and real-time apps 3. **Strategy, Research, and Executive Teams** - Ecosystem economics, market structure, user behavior, competitive dynamics, and capital flows And of course… **agents 🦞** ### What you’ll do - Work closely with the founding engineering team to accelerate Allium’s **AI efforts** - Help make blockchain data **easy to query & understand** - Interns are treated as **full-time engineers** with high standards and expectations ### Values we strive for at Allium - **Obsessiveness:** care about the small things; ship work that’s *right* - **Pro Athlete Mindset:** consistency and pursuit of excellence - **Figure It Out & Extreme Ownership:** learn fast; solve with resourcefulness - **High Agency:** responsive, effective problem-solving and resolutions - **Leading from the Front:** build the MVP and show the way - **Strong Opinions on the Future (loosely held):** have ideas for a better future - **Sense of (Allium) business smell:** connect engineering work to leverage and business goals ### About the team All backgrounds are welcome. Allium has engineers who learned later in life, learned on the side, are still in school, and engineers from top schools—**as long as you bring a curious mind and an infectious work ethic**. ### Administrative benefits - Medical, Dental, Vision, Life and AD&D insurance - US folks: **100% coverage for Gold plan
