About The Position

Building Open Superintelligence Infrastructure Prime Intellect is building the open superintelligence stack — from frontier agentic models to the infra that enables anyone to create, train, and deploy them. We aggregate and orchestrate global compute into a single control plane and pair it with the full RL post-training stack: environments, secure sandboxes, verifiable evals, and our async RL trainer. We enable researchers, startups and enterprises to run end-to-end reinforcement learning at frontier scale, adapting models to real tools, workflows, and deployment contexts. We recently raised $15mm in funding (total of $20mm raised) led by Founders Fund, with participation from Menlo Ventures and prominent angels including Andrej Karpathy (Eureka AI, Tesla, OpenAI), Tri Dao (Together AI), Dylan Patel (SemiAnalysis), Clem Delangue (Huggingface), Emad Mostaque (Stability AI) and many others. Your Role You will be the operational force multiplier behind Prime Intellect’s rapid growth. Work directly with the CEO and leadership across GTM, engineering, finance, and product to design systems, processes, and reporting that scale the company. Handle the highest-priority cross-functional initiatives — from strategic planning to execution on core business systems, data flows, resource allocation, and special projects. This is a generalist, high-ownership role for someone who thrives in ambiguity and wants to help architect the operating system of a next-gen AI infrastructure company.
