About the job
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 hiring for multiple GPU Infrastructure positions: one based in the APAC region and one based in the USA.
CORE TECHNICAL RESPONSIBILITIES
This customer-facing role combines deep technical expertise with hands-on implementation. You'll be instrumental in:
CUSTOMER ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN
- Partner with clients to understand workload requirements and design optimal GPU cluster architectures
- Create technical proposals and capacity planning for clusters ranging from 100 to 10,000+ GPUs
- Develop deployment strategies for LLM training, inference, and HPC workloads
- Present architectural recommendations to technical and executive stakeholders
INFRASTRUCTURE DEPLOYMENT & OPTIMIZATION
- Deploy and configure orchestration systems including SLURM and Kubernetes for distributed workloads
