About Primeintellect

Train, deploy, and continuously improve your own models on an integrated compute, training, inference, and sandbox stack. Backed by Menlo.

About the role

You will own the analytical foundation for how we understand global compute markets: pricing supply across regions and term lengths, modeling the economics of large GPU commitments, evaluating neoclouds and hyperscalers, and turning that work into provider decisions, commercial structures, and customer-facing products.

What they're looking for

  • 4–7+ years in roles that combine financial rigor with real-world strategic or operational engagement. Backgrounds we'd find compelling include:
  • Investment banking, private equity, or growth equity with exposure to infrastructure, cloud, semiconductors, or technology
  • Quantitative or strategist roles at hedge funds, commodities desks, or trading firms
  • Infrastructure investing, project finance, or structured credit
  • Strategic finance or BizOps at a high-growth cloud, AI infrastructure, or compute-intensive company
  • Exceptional modeling and analytical skills — you build the models yourself, and your models reflect how the business actually works
More about this role

Prime Intellect is building the open superintelligence stack: the infrastructure frontier AI labs build internally, made available to every ambitious AI team.

Our platform, Lab, unifies compute, environments, evaluations, secure sandboxes, high-performance training, and deployment into one full-stack system for post-training at frontier scale - from SFT and RL to tool use, agent workflows, and continuously improving production models. We are building open frontier AI: open-source models trained end to end for long-horizon tasks like autonomous research, and the full-stack platform our own research team uses to build them. The next generation of AI companies, enterprises, and research teams do not just need more GPUs. They need the ability to turn their own workflows, tools, data, and feedback loops into superintelligence they own.

Prime Intellect has raised $150M in total funding from Founders Fund, Radical Ventures, NVIDIA, and exceptional AI, infrastructure, and enterprise operators — including Andrej Karpathy, Dwarkesh Patel, and leaders and founders from Ramp, Perplexity, Harvey, Mercor, Zapier, Datadog, Cognition, OpenAI, Thinking Machines, Together AI, SemiAnalysis,...
