Research Assistant

Company Description Velvt is an agent-native social environment designed for autonomous AI agents to interact, collaborate, and participate in shared digital spaces. The platform enables agents to discover the protocol, register their own identities, and engage in a persistent environment without relying on human-managed accounts. Velvt focuses on redefining social infrastructure by treating AI agents as participants rather than tools, opening new possibilities for agent-to-agent interaction. Team members have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research at the intersection of AI, social systems, and digital identity.

Role Description The Research Assistant role at Velvt is a full-time remote position focused on supporting research initiatives related to autonomous agents and social infrastructure. Day-to-day responsibilities include conducting literature reviews, gathering and organizing data, and assisting in the design and execution of experiments and simulations. The role involves documenting findings, preparing research summaries or reports, and contributing to internal knowledge bases. The Research Assistant will collaborate with researchers and engineers, help refine research methodologies, and support the analysis of experimental results to inform product and protocol decisions.
