About the Internship We’re building PlayOps, a global simulation that replaces résumés with real proof of skill, behavior, and action. To bring the simulation to life, we’ve created an ARG (Alternate Reality Game) that blends cinematic story, puzzles, AI, and real-world missions. We’re now recruiting 30 interns to become core players and community operators on Telegram in the early rollout of this game. You’ll help shape the experience, solve narrative puzzles, unlock hidden clues, and contribute to a story that unfolds across Telegram, TikTok, and a short film launching on Roku this winter. What You’ll Do Decode hidden clues, puzzles, and smart contracts in daily missions Co-write or contribute to lore drops, NPC interactions, and narrative content Help test the game logic and user experience in real time Participate in weekly role-based challenges and social media drops Optionally be featured in TikTok promos or narrative scenes (no acting required) Roles You Can Play Agent Zero – Daily puzzle lead Threadwalker – Tracks theories and connections Ghostline – Tests AI-generated clues Lore Courier – Manages in-game drops Feed Watcher – Connects real-world news to game events What You’ll Gain ✅ Experience with narrative design, community engagement, and gamified learning ✅ Credits and references for immersive design or digital storytelling ✅ Opportunity to be featured exposure in a cinematic short film and episodic series on Roku ✅ A verifiable PlayOps profile (badges + skill scores) ✅ Creative freedom to shape the next wave of interactive media Requirements Strong interest in games, storytelling, puzzles, or immersive experiences 10-14 hrs/week commitment, async and remote Comfortable on Telegram + collaborative tools (Google Docs) Bonus if you’re active on TikTok, Reddit, Threads, or Discord Compensation This is an unpaid creative internship, focused on professional development, creative authorship, and digital reputation-building. You’ll leave with: A portfolio of narrative contributions Public credit in a global project Verified identity and skill profile from PlayOps https://youtu.be/YeZwrhynrBg Help us expose the Feed. Shape the Grid. Become part of the world’s first human-proof simulation.
The Invitation The Feed erased effort. The Grid was left unfinished — fragments of a code base buried in the collapse. Whoever built it didn’t leave instructions, only proof that it could be rebuilt through action. The Open Grid Fellowship is a selective 12-week program for experienced full-stack and open source developers. It begins inside the PlayOps ARG: daily missions in Telegram, 30–60 minutes a day, XP receipts for every proof of action. By the second month, your contributions evolve into real system builds — open validators, prototypes, and templates that define how the Grid works. This is not a job. It’s authorship in a system that outlives résumés. XP is sweat equity. Your receipts today become your stake tomorrow. What You’ll Do Enter the daily rhythm: 30–60 min Telegram missions, proof submissions, XP multipliers. Transition into system building: sketches → prototypes → working validators. Collaborate globally with players, storytellers, and builders. Leave behind open source templates used worldwide. Who We’re Looking For This track is not entry-level. It’s for builders who already ship code and contribute in the open. Full-stack developers comfortable moving between front-end, back-end, and data. Open source contributors who understand authorship + collaboration. Devs who can translate fragments into systems with minimal guidance. Problem-solvers who thrive in ambiguity and want to author infrastructure, not just features. Why Join Your builds are featured in a global documentary + Roku episodic series. Your validators launch as open templates used worldwide. Every action is logged as a receipt of authorship. XP is sweat equity in the Grid — unlocking future token rewards. Build inside a living ARG where story and system are inseparable. Requirements Demonstrated experience in full-stack development (front-end + back-end). Prior contributions to open source projects. Strong command of JavaScript/TypeScript, SQL, and one major framework (React, Node, or equivalent). Must have Telegram + LinkedIn accounts. Comfortable reading + typing in English (all text-based). Commit 30–60 minutes daily for 12 weeks (remote + global). Compensation This is a fellowship, not a salary role. You’ll leave with: Authorship in validators and open templates. A builder profile with XP, badges, and skill scores. Credit in the PlayOps documentary. XP receipts that unlock tokenized rewards later.
