Note: Thank you for your interest in our internship program. We have had high numbers of people showing interest and we are extremely humbled by this. Due to high demand, we only have limited spaces for the next few months and we will only be interviewing and hiring the top candidates. This may change in the future.
Please note that we will continue to accept applications and will interview only the candidates that are the best fit for Nethermind. We have already reached our quota for December and January. We look forward to reviewing your application and potentially welcoming you to our team.
If you don’t get picked the first time around don’t get discouraged! We are incredibly lucky to get extremely skilled and talented people applying and it often is a difficult choice to make. Just continue learning and developing your skills and try again in a few months.
