Crypto-Economics Researcher

An amazing opportunity for those with a passion for AI and Blockchain to participate alongside industry leading and innovative forces from the automotive industry whose aim is to support the development of decentralized technologies and business models, tokenomics incentive systems as well as industry standards for information and data sharing. Catena-X sees a collaboration between organizations of all sizes, including Bosch, Siemens, Mercedes Benz, VW and BMW, as well as innovative startups and SMEs. Fetch.ai is proud to be part of this collaboration and we are seeking talented and passionate individuals to join our team in Germany.

We aim to be your Employer of Choice by providing you with the opportunity to work with a hugely talented team developing cutting edge technology combining AI and blockchain, that will influence and change the way we share data and information.

Fetch.ai Vision

Our vision is to connect digital and real-life economies to allow automation to change the way we use data. Fetch.ai brings expertise in multi-agent systems, artificial intelligence, advanced cryptography and decentralized machine learning to the Catena-X network. Our main focus will be to provide technologies for agent-based “smart” clients, secure and private sharing of information, and base-layer blockchain infrastructure. It will support next-generation data analytics through Fetch.ai CoLearn network, a decentralized information-sharing system that is deployed on blockchains and aggregates learning from multiple stakeholders.

The role:

Fetch.ai is building software to deliver multi-stakeholder AI using the power of blockchain technology. Our research scientists and engineers have the opportunity to work at the intersection of these two fascinating fields and shape the future of machine learning by allowing the sharing of information without compromising peoples’ privacy, security or sovereignty. This challenge involves a combination of incentive design, finance, modelling, game theory and software engineering. We are looking for talented and highly motivated technologists to help bring our vision to life.

This role involves a combination of hands-on crypto-economic problem solving and fundamental research in economic mechanism design. The Decentralized Finance (DeFi) space includes existing DeFi protocols such as automated market making and lending, and your goal will be to extend them with the aid of Fetch.ai’s agent and artificial intelligence technologies. Our researchers have the opportunity to publish in top conferences and work with our experienced engineers to deliver cutting edge technologies. We are interested in speaking to professionals with passion for technology who are ready to take the next step in their career.
