Train, deploy, and continuously improve your own models on an integrated compute, training, inference, and sandbox stack. Backed by Menlo.
About the role
Talent is the single highest-leverage input at Prime Intellect. Every frontier researcher, systems engineer, and operator we hire compounds directly into what the open ecosystem can build. This role owns that compounding.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of technical recruiting experience, with meaningful time at a frontier AI lab, top AI startup, or elite technical company
- Direct experience recruiting ML researchers, frontier research talent, or elite systems / distributed engineers — not just "technical roles" broadly
- Proven ability to source and close candidates who are not actively looking, against competing offers from top labs
- Track record of personally owning senior and hard-to-fill searches end-to-end
- Comfort operating as a player-coach: running your own searches while building the systems and eventually the team underneath you
- Strong judgment on candidate quality and leveling, willingness to hold a high bar under pressure
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,...
