Company Description
Dissensus is an independent research lab studying adversarial systems across financial markets, governance, and AI alignment. Led by a published mathematical researcher, the lab focuses on open-source theory and real-world implementation, operating at the intersection of computational finance, formal methods, and multi-agent systems to solve complex coordination failures.
Job Description
Join Dissensus as a Co-Founder to build an independent research lab from the ground up. You will balance deep research into adversarial systems with the operational heavy lifting of establishing a new institution. This is a high-ownership role for a researcher-builder committed to open science and shaping the future of coordination theory.

Why this role is remarkable
- Secure a genuine co-founder position with a significant 20-40% equity stake in a lab tackling high-stakes fields like AI alignment and formal methods.

- Work alongside a founder with a strong academic pedigree, 10+ papers in computational finance, and a background in Lean 4 formalizations and operations.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You Will Do
- Lead and contribute to primary research projects, producing high-quality publications, preprints, and open-source tools in areas like multi-agent systems and AI governance.
- Drive the operational setup of the lab, including securing grant and academic funding, building governance structures, and managing community outreach.
- Collaborate on the technical and strategic roadmap, from developing Lean 4 formalizations to releasing datasets under permissive licenses for the research community.
The ideal candidate
- Possesses a proven track record of research output, including peer-reviewed publications, preprints, or significant contributions to open-source scientific tools and datasets.
- Demonstrates an entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to handle unglamorous operational tasks, such as grant writing and website building, alongside complex theoretical work.
- Maintains a deep interest in adversarial systems or formal methods and is committed to the "open science" movement rather than traditional corporate structures.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
