## About the role

You will own compute at Prime Intellect - the sourcing, economics, contracting, and strategic positioning of the GPU supply that powers everything we train, serve, and sell.

## What they're looking for

- Strong business and financial instincts — you think natively in unit economics, margin structure, and capital allocation, and you can model the long-term P&L consequences of complex supply decisions
- Deep fluency in the global AI compute market: you know the providers, the hardware generations and their real tradeoffs, the pricing dynamics, and where the market is going over the next 12–24 months
- Serious commercial chops: you've negotiated and closed contracts at meaningful scale, know how to find and use leverage, and understand how deal structure drives downstream economics
- Comfortable operating at the intersection of finance, commercial, product, and engineering — and translating fluently between all of them
- High ownership: you see gaps and build the fix before anyone asks
- AI-native in how you work: you use LLMs, automation, and programmatic tools to move faster
