## About the role

The Multi-Agent Systems team focuses on designing architectures in which multiple agents coordinate to solve problems that require structured interaction across multiple reasoning processes. Researchers build systems that structure communication, route information, and coordinate decision-making across agents operating with different views of the problem

## What they're looking for

- Our researchers come from many academic backgrounds but have strong research track records, operate in an AI-native way, and would be bored staying on the rails of a traditional research org
- Built or studied systems where multiple agents collaborate through structured communication, delegation, critique, or iterative coordination
- Experience with agent orchestration, communication protocols, evaluator agents, or systems where multiple agents interact to exchange information, critique reasoning, and coordinate decisions over time
- Experience with research in related fields, such as multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), graph neural networks (GNNs), knowledge graphs, mixed-initiative planning, etc
- Excited about making foundational advancements in how agents coordinate, reason and collaborate
- Proven Track Record of Research Results: Whether you’ve published in top journals, posted amazing work on twitter, or somewhere else we want to see what you've done
