Description:

We are seeking an exceptional Agent Economics Researcher to study and design incentive structures and economic systems for large-scale AI agent networks.
This role offers a rare opportunity to shape the future of AI agent infrastructure at a massively ambitious scale, backed by industry veterans and technical leaders through NVIDIA Inception, Google for Startups, and Microsoft for Startups.
The position involves building the foundational infrastructure for the next wave of AI companies, enabling frontier AI developers to create products powered by enormous networks of highly capable next-generation AI agents.
As an Agent Economics Researcher, you will develop the theoretical and practical frameworks for how agents cooperate, compete, and create value within complex networks.
Core responsibilities include designing and studying economic mechanisms for agent networks, researching incentive structures for agent collaboration, developing frameworks for resource allocation and optimization, studying economic behavior patterns in agent systems, creating models for agent value creation and exchange, researching market dynamics in agent networks, and designing experiments to validate economic theories.

Requirements:

A PhD or equivalent experience in Economics, Computer Science, or a related field is required.
A strong background in mechanism design and game theory is essential.
Experience with multi-agent systems or markets is necessary.
An understanding of distributed systems economics is important.
Strong mathematical and analytical skills are required.
An interest in both theoretical and applied research is expected.
The ability to translate economic theory into practical systems is crucial.
Required experience includes research experience in economics or mechanism design, strong mathematical and modeling skills, programming ability for economic simulations, a track record of novel research contributions, understanding of distributed systems, and experience with experimental design.

The position offers a highly competitive salary and a significant equity stake.
It features a remote-first work environment.
Full medical, dental, and vision coverage is provided.
A flexible PTO policy is available.
There is a research conference budget to support attendance and participation.
Publication support is offered to assist in disseminating research findings.
A learning and development budget is included to encourage continuous professional growth.
