About Openmesh and Xnode

Currently, a few corporations control the majority of the world's data and IT infrastructure, which creates a trust issue. Openmesh is a cutting-edge open-source cloud infrastructure and global open data network that aims to store important global data without intermediaries. It is the largest open web3 data lake and covers around 80% of the crypto and web3 ecosystem. We plan to expand our data coverage to include public health and scientific research data in the future.

Openmesh allows individuals to create their decentralized data clouds, securely share data globally, reduce deployment costs, and automate data cloud setup. It serves as the internet's open data fabric, providing universal access and preventing interference from regulators, governments, corporations, or even its creators.

Core Products

Our flagship product Xnode is a revolutionary platform for developers to build decentralized data clouds. It enables developers to create their data clouds with connectivity, APIs, and query & analytics engines in a matter of minutes, saving time and costs. Pythia is a powerful analytics & query engine that transforms raw data into actionable insights. Unified APIs provide a single endpoint for all crypto & web3 data, making it easily accessible without any associated costs.

Our vision

We aim to democratize data and address information asymmetry on a large scale. Reliable data is crucial for the proper functioning of the internet, webpages, and apps. We believe that access to unbiased information is a fundamental right in a free and democratic society. Openmesh is designed with no single authority that can control or alter its data, ensuring transparency and fairness. The technology stack is open-source and governed by a supportive community.

The opportunity

As an intern, you will fulfill your PEP 40H industry experience requirement and learn about groundbreaking innovations in the fields of Data, Cloud, Blockchain, AI, and Web3 Infrastructure. You will have access to valuable resources such as open source technology, hackathons, virtual conferences, mentoring sessions, workshops, and an opportunity to apply your knowledge in practice. We offer both in-person and remote work options, including participation in an upcoming hackathon.

Top-performing interns may receive a full-time offer, providing excellent career progression opportunities. You will gain on-the-job experience, working on a project that develops your problem-solving skills, teamwork abilities, and presentation techniques. The specialized knowledge acquired during this internship will set you up for a successful career at Openmesh.

Why Join Us

By joining Openmesh, you will lead a revolutionary product that is reshaping data management and accessibility worldwide. We offer the opportunity to collaborate with a global community of innovators and thought leaders in the decentralized space, making a significant impact on how data is accessed and used. Our work environment is dynamic, challenging, and rewarding, and we also provide competitive compensation and benefits.

Description
Today a handful of corporations control 90% of the world's data and IT infrastructure and we are expected to trust them. This is not just bad for business; it's bad for everyone. Information asymmetry has led to social inequality, scandals, polarization, and corruption. Sometimes, it has even led to war. Centralized data control acts as a potential chokepoint for innovation, raises privacy concerns, and creates a bottleneck for the free flow of data. We envision a world where data is open, decentralized, and beneficial to everyone, not just a select few. This isn't solely about technology but rather about shaping the next 10-20 years of the internet, preserving democracy, and ensuring a free flow of information for generations to come.
