Member of Technical Staff - Training Platform

<h2>Building Open Superintelligence Infrastructure</h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">Prime Intellect is building the open superintelligence stack - from frontier agentic models to the infrastructure that lets anyone create, train, and deploy them. We aggregate and orchestrate global compute into a single control plane and pair it with the full RL post-training stack: environments, secure sandboxes, verifiable evals, and our async RL trainer. We enable researchers, startups, and enterprises to run end-to-end reinforcement learning at frontier scale, adapting models to real tools, workflows, and deployment contexts.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We recently raised <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.primeintellect.ai/blog/fundraise">$15M in funding</a> (taking total funding to $20M), led by Founders Fund with participation from Menlo Ventures and prominent angels including Andrej Karpathy (Eureka Labs, Tesla, OpenAI), Tri Dao (Chief Scientist, Together AI), Dylan Patel (SemiAnalysis), Clem Delangue (Hugging Face), Emad Mostaque (Stability AI), and many others. </p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h2>Role Impact</h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">You'll help build our hosted <strong>training platform -</strong> the product that lets users launch LoRA and full fine-tuning runs on managed GPU clusters with a single API call or a few clicks.
