We are looking for a person with a big passion for new/deep tech, who can behave rather ok in a furnished room with other people and has never been comfortable with status quo.

Basically a professional geek who want to change how people and companies use the Internet today. 😎

Who we are:

Playground is the home of people in Tech who seek personal development and technical challenges. We are a highly motivated and humble team of engineers, architects and tech business developers.

Our mission is to enable and fuel our customers innovation capabilities through reliable cloud and data engineering, in-house developed products and code.

We are establishing ourselves as a technical enabler of the third iteration of the Internet, Web 3. And looking for a master thesis student to explore product/business ideas and the underlying technology that will be the foundation for this paradigm shift in how people and companies consume, live, work and do business on the Internet.

Our purpose is to understand challenges and identify opportunities worth solving related to the next iteration of the Internet.

Buzzword bingo: Technical Standards, Protocols, Security & Trust, Blockchain, IoT, Metaverse, ML/AI, Digital Assets, Crypto, Decentralization, Interoperability, Legal, Finance.

Topic ideas:

• Got a favourite industry or a new product idea? Do background research, conduct interviews with people in the business and possible consumers of a new Web 3 compatible business model. Present the feasibility and possible value of the service and gauge the complexity of implementing and launching it. Present academically solid facts to back up your argument

• What are people talking about at Tech and Web 3 conferences today? Does what they say make sense? Will decentralization, blockchains and token-based economics make the world a better place? Find an assumption on the underlying technology that will enable a specific aspect or claim of Web 3 and implement it for yourself. Does it do what they say? Does it scale? What would you have to change to make the claim true and enable this? Is there a completely different solution to the problem

• Maybe you already have experience from a specific industry and are comfortable with twisting and turning big data sets. Suggest a product that would add value, free up time and create new opportunities using AI or Machine Learning. Create a proof-of-concept application to verify the feasibility and suggest future work
