You work on how independent agents cooperate without losing the intentions or the boundaries of the people they represent. This is the research under the directory and the marketplace: a seeker's agent and an offerer's agent negotiating on behalf of two humans who have each granted different things.
Open for applications. Starts at: Research program.
We are taking applications for this role now and building the pipeline for it. The stage above is when the work itself is expected to begin, which is something you deserve to know before you apply rather than after. It is context, not a gate.
Where
In the office together five days a week, in one of our garages, and remote-friendly around your family, arranged one person at a time. We hire across the United States 🇺🇸, India 🇮🇳 and the UAE 🇦🇪.
The work
Research delegation, negotiation, coordination under partial information and verification of returned results. Model misaligned incentives, untrusted peers and communication costs. Work with protocol and identity engineers so coordination research maps to enforceable permissions.
The milestone
In your first 90 days, deliver a reproducible multiagent experiment with explicit trust assumptions, cancellation behavior and single-agent comparisons.
Required
Nice to have
Evidence
Bring research in distributed AI, game theory, multiagent learning or coordination systems. Evidence should show both mathematical clarity and a willingness to test simpler alternatives.
Evidence, not credentials. We are describing work you can point at, in whatever form it exists.
The exercise
Design a shared scheduling task where participants have private constraints and one remote agent returns an unreliable result.
The package
Indicative pay ranges by market and level are on the compensation page. Plan numbers are confirmed in your offer letter.
Apply
One short form. A person reads every application and you hear back either way. You will get your own link to check where things stand, and you can withdraw or delete your application from it at any time, without an account.
