Senior Agentic AI Engineer at Eigen Labs

Eigen Labs is constructing infrastructure for coordinating humans and AI agents alike. The company identifies a critical inflection point where agents transition from tools to autonomous economic actors capable of writing code, coordinating work, and generating revenue. Eigen Labs leverages blockchain technology through EigenLayer (restaking infrastructure) and EigenCloud (developer platform for verifiable compute) to enable agentic companies.
