About Openmesh and Xnode

Currently, a handful of corporations control a disproportionate 90% share of the world's data and IT infrastructure. Trust in these centralized entities has raised several concerns. With information asymmetry causing social inequality, scandals, polarization, and corruption, it has even led to conflicts in some instances. We believe this centralized control hampers innovation, raises concerns about privacy, and hinders the free flow of information.

Openmesh is an innovative open-source cloud infrastructure and global open data network designed to store significant global data without intermediaries. This comprehensive web3 data lake already covers approximately 80% of the crypto and web3 ecosystem. By 2023 and 2024, we aim to expand its coverage to include public health and scientific research data.

Openmesh empowers individuals to build their own decentralized data clouds, enabling secure data sharing, cost reduction in deployment, and automated data cloud setup. It is a data fabric for open data on the internet that offers universal access while preventing interference from regulators, governments, corporations, and its creators. The possibilities are endless.

Core Products

We offer Xnode as our flagship product, which serves as an essential component of our vision. Xnode revolutionizes the development of decentralized data clouds through simple creation processes for data connectivity, APIs, and query & analytics engines. Developers save time and monetary resources by bypassing licensing and setup fees. Xnode enables a drastic 10-15 fold cost reduction in operating data clouds, with deployment time reduced by over 95%.

Pythia is our powerful analytics & query engine designed to transform raw data into actionable insights. Pythia grants individuals the ability to design, build, visualize, and deploy robust data products.

Unified APIs provide a single entry point for all crypto & web3 data, making it accessible globally without any barriers. This accessibility comes without licenses, registrations, or setup fees.

Our Vision

At Openmesh, we envision a future where data is democratized and information asymmetry is addressed on an enormous scale. Data and information stand as the most valuable commodities worldwide, and without reliable, high-quality data, the internet, webpages, and apps would come to a halt. We believe in the fundamental right of open and unedited access to reliable information, fostering a free, democratic society. Openmesh's Core Principles keep data unmodified, define distributed control, and allow universal visibility on an infrastructure governed by an open-source community.

The Opportunity

  • Fulfill your PEP 40H industry experience requirement through this paid internship opportunity.

  • Acquire knowledge about groundbreaking Data, Cloud, Blockchain, AI, and Web3 Infrastructure innovations from industry visionaries, senior engineers, and product owners. Get a glimpse of what working in your dream job would truly entail.

  • Gain access to our open-source technology, hackathons, virtual conferences, mentoring sessions, R&D infrastructure, workshops, and practical application opportunities, offered both in-person or remotely.

  • Develop a promising career with the potential for full-time job placement through outstanding performance during the internship.

  • Acquire hands-on experience through project assignments that will hone your problem-solving skills, improve your ability to present ideas, enhance your teamwork capabilities, and instill professionalism.

  • The specialized knowledge and skills gained during the program will prepare you for a successful career at Openmesh.

Why Join Us

  • Lead the way in shaping the future of data management and access by being part of a revolutionary product.
  • Collaborate with a global community of innovators and industry experts in the decentralized space.
  • Contribute to improving how data is accessed and utilized across the globe, promoting transparency, efficiency, and democratization.
  • Thrive in a stimulating, challenging, and fulfilling work environment, complete with competitive compensation and benefits.
