About the role
BUILDING OPEN SUPERINTELLIGENCE INFRASTRUCTURE
Prime Intellect is building the open superintelligence stack: from frontier agentic models to the infrastructure that enables anyone to train, adapt, and deploy them.
We unify globally distributed compute into a single control plane and pair it with the full reinforcement learning post-training stack: environments, secure sandboxes, verifiable evaluations, and our async RL trainer. We enable researchers, startups, and enterprises to run end-to-end RL at frontier scale, adapting models to real tools, workflows, and deployment environments.
We are looking for a Research Engineer to work on the systems layer behind large-scale RL training. This role is for someone who enjoys going deep on performance: optimizing kernels, improving memory and communication efficiency, scaling distributed workloads, and pushing the throughput and reliability of training systems closer to hardware limits.
