## About the role

Prime's research compounds when other researchers can run it, inspect it, extend it, and build on it. You will own the path from emerging research artifact to excellent open-source and product experience. This role sits inside Applied Research and works deeply with engineering. You will build core open-source systems, shape researcher-facing features in our training platform, decide which abstractions deserve stable interfaces, and help external contributors ship serious work into the stack. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Relevant experience: ownership of open-source ML or developer-tool systems, research engineering, technical product work, or communities formed around code and reproducible research
- Hands-on experience building and debugging model-training, post-training, agent, evaluation, or closely adjacent experimental loops
- Strong experimental judgment: meaningful baselines, careful trace inspection, clear failure attribution, and a willingness to change direction when the evidence changes
- Strong Python and the ability to build artifacts that other researchers and engineers can run, inspect, and extend
- Comfort owning ambiguous problems and keeping partners and teammates current as you resolve them
