NexTrium's work is grounded in research. Every product we build starts with a question about a real problem in a real market, and the quality of our answers determines the quality of what we ship. As a Research Associate on the founding team, you will be the person who goes deep on those questions. You will investigate markets, analyse systems, review literature, and produce findings that shape what NexTrium builds and how we position it. Your work will span multiple domains, including blockchain and decentralized systems, AI and Machine Learning, African informal economies, financial inclusion, identity infrastructure, and emerging technology policy. You will contribute to grant proposals, white papers, product feasibility studies, and ecosystem reports. Some of your work will be published under the NexTrium name. All of it will matter to the decisions we make. This role suits someone who is rigorous, intellectually curious, and comfortable sitting with complexity without rushing to simple answers. You do not need a PhD. You need the discipline to follow a question wherever it leads and the clarity to communicate what you find.
