Who We Are & What We’re Building
Eigen Labs is a frontier lab building coordination technologies for the post-AGI world. AGI is completely reconfiguring power, and a few major labs are already consolidating this power. We believe that coordination through open networks is the only counterforce that lets individuals maximize their agency.
We are building open networks for many different layers shaping AI: agentic research, inference infrastructure, and capital formation. Recently, we showed how a community of scientists, amateurs, and agents can collaborate to surpass Google’s unpublished quantum breakthrough, showcasing the power of open coordination.
What This Looks Like In Practice
A small number of companies are rapidly becoming gatekeepers to the most powerful systems ever created, trained on open internet, open research, and open-source software, now locked behind permission structures and centralized control.
The question isn't whether AI will transform society. The question is who gets to participate.
We believe
- Scientific discovery should remain open.
- Intelligence should not be controlled by a handful of institutions.
- Individuals should be able to coordinate, build, and create without asking for permission.
- AI should empower people, not make them dependent.
- AI should expand individual agency, not concentrate power.
This isn't a theoretical exercise. Darkbloom is already building distributed AI infrastructure from idle hardware around the world.
These are early examples of a much larger idea: open networks competing with centralized institutions.
We're looking for researchers, engineers, founders, scientists, designers, and builders who see the same trend we do and want to help build the alternative. If you're excited by open science, individual agency, coordination systems, and agentic infrastructure, we should talk.

The Role
This is not a solicitation intended to recruit job applicants for a specific available position. Rather, this is a general application for future and opportunistic roles across Eigen Labs. Tell us who you are, what you’re great at, and what you want to build. We’ll review on a rolling basis and reach out when there’s a strong fit.
Equal Opportunity Employment
There's one more, very important thing. We are an equal opportunity employer. We search for amazing people of diverse backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. We take care of each other to create an inclusive work environment where we love to come to work every day. We hope you can join us.
