Own Your Intelligence
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, LangChain, Browserbase, Cloudflare, Sierra, Databricks, Airbnb, OpenRouter, Standard Intelligence, Fleet, Core Auto, and more.
We are looking for people who want to build at the intersection of frontier research, real infrastructure, and go-to-market for a category that does not fully exist yet.
We're looking for a Forward-Deployed Research Engineer (FDRE) to serve as the primary technical interface between Prime Intellect and our most important customers: AI companies, research labs, and enterprises running post-training and agentic RL on our platform.
This is not a traditional research role. You'll spend most of your time embedded with customers, understanding their models, workflows, and goals. Then, you'll translate those objectives into concrete training runs, environment designs, evaluation harnesses, and deployment recipes using the Lab stack. You are the person who makes the platform work in practice for real workloads.
You'll work closely with our research, product, and infrastructure teams to feed field insights back into the platform, shaping what we build next based on what customers actually need.
Cash Compensation Range of $150-300k
+ equity incentives
Flexible Work
Team Off-sites
& conference attendance
Growth Opportunity
You’ll join a mission-driven team working at the frontier of open, superintelligence infra. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to:
Shape the evolution of agent-driven solutions—from research breakthroughs to production systems used by real customers.
Collaborate with leading researchers, engineers, and partners pushing the boundaries of RL and post-training.
Grow with a fast-moving organization where your contributions directly influence both the technical direction and the broader AI ecosystem.
If you’re excited to move fast, build boldly, and help define how agentic AI is developed and deployed, we’d love to hear from you.
Ready to build the open superintelligence infrastructure of tomorrow?
Apply now to help us make powerful, open AGI accessible to everyone.
