About Us:

We're a fast-growing Canadian tech company building a groundbreaking decentralized data access infrastructure. Our focus is to ensure users regain control of their digital data in high-impact sectors where privacy, consent, and reliability matter the most. We are now onboarding bright, passionate interns to co-build a secure, transparent, and innovative system that respects data ownership and unlocks its future potential.

Project Location: Remote or Hybrid (Canada-based preferred)

Ideal Backgrounds: Tech-savvy thinkers, product strategists, AI/blockchain enthusiasts, data policy wonks, creative problem solvers

The Vision

We are developing a secure, tokenizable platform for confidential data contribution, traceable access management, and user-controlled sharing. It enables two distinct contributor groups—authorized associates (Group 1) and community-based contributors (Group 2)—to manage and interact with consumer data while maintaining full consumer ownership and consent.

Our future roadmap includes:

• AI-enhanced data insights
• Audit-layer enforcement
• User-governed monetization mechanisms
• A modular, interoperable tech stack
• Emergency-only override protocols with post-access accountability

PROJECT CONTEXT

In today's digital landscape, consumers increasingly share data with service providers—yet they lack real control over that data. Our project aims to change that by designing a system where:

• Data can be contributed by verified users (Group 1: trusted associates) or general contributors (Group 2: community/consumer devices).
• Consumers retain full read-access and can consent to share or revoke access.
• All data interaction is recorded on a tamper-proof system with emergency overrides governed by policy and audit.
• In future phases, consented data can be shared with research entities for ethical use and monetization.

This internship focuses on the earliest strategic phase: architecture planning and policy modeling.

INTERN GOAL

Help us design and validate a modular system framework to support secure, controlled data contribution and sharing by multiple user groups under strict access policies.

You will not build the software, but you will help shape what needs to be built.

What You’ll Work On

You’ll work on the ideation and design of a system framework that allows data contributed by different types of users to be securely stored, access-controlled, and transparently governed.

Project Scope

You will focus on designing the logic and technical structure for a role-based data contribution and access platform.

The system must support:

• Group 1 (trusted associates) who can contribute and update core consumer data
• Group 2 (community contributors) who can add additional data tagged separately
• Consumers (end users) who can view their data and give/revoke consent for read access
• Emergency access protocols with full audit trails
• Optional: a rewards mechanism where consumers can consent to share data in exchange for tokens

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

• Designing secure, multi-role digital systems
• Real-world applications of Web3 and consent-based data sharing
• Creating policy-aware architecture and governance rules
• How AI and blockchain can be used ethically in personal data systems
• Communicating innovation to technical and non-technical audiences

WHO SHOULD APPLY

• Computer Science / Information Systems / Data Science students
• Those interested in ethical data systems, blockchain, or digital identity
• Students with a passion for innovation and structure
• Learners who enjoy solving open-ended, real-world problems within scope

PROJECT CONFIDENTIALITY

This is a pre-launch, early-phase platform. Interns will sign a standard NDA and all work will be credited in future documentation (unless anonymity is requested).

TO APPLY

Send your resume and a short paragraph describing your interest in systems thinking, product strategy, or secure data innovation.

You can also include any past course project or design document you've worked on that aligns with this scope.

Interns will complete and present a framework document and visual diagrams, which will directly contribute to:

• A professional product whitepaper
• A government funding application
• Early stakeholder engagement with developers and researchers

By the end of the internship, you’ll produce:

• A system architecture diagram (UML or block-based)
• A short technical spec document explaining components and how they interact
• A logic flow or policy map showing user access, consent, and audit behavior
• (Optional) A token-based reward flow proposal
