One researcher. Every paper has an author you can write to.
We are deliberately small. Every published result has a named person who did the work and who will answer a question about the method, rather than a press address that routes to nobody.
Who works on what.
Mohit Bhardwaj
Head of Engineering · Local inference · Applied cryptography · Agent security · On-device retrieval · Measurement & transparencyWorks across the Dart Agent research programme: on-device model integration, the semantic index, the identity and post-quantum migration work, the agent permission model, and the measurement studies.

People who tell us when we’re wrong.
Three external advisors review methodology before publication. They are paid for their time, they do not hold equity, and they are free to disagree with us publicly — two of them have.
Prof. Sarah Lindqvist
Systems security, KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Advises on the agent threat model and reviews the injection corpus methodology.
Dr. Kenji Watanabe
Applied cryptography, independent
Reviews the identity layer design and the post-quantum migration plan.
Rebecca Ansah
Digital rights and policy, independent
Advises on what our transparency commitments should mean in jurisdictions we do not operate in.
We hire slowly and say what we pay.
Research roles at Dart are engineering roles with a publication expectation. You will ship the thing you measured, which is either the appeal or the objection depending on what you want from a research job.
You publish what you find
No internal review board can suppress a result for being commercially inconvenient. Three of our ten papers report a negative result about something we hoped would work.
Prior work stays yours
We do not assign anything you built before you arrived, and residents keep the rights to what they publish with us.
Research that ships
Every area lead also owns the corresponding production system. The measurement and the implementation are the same job here.
