Building Open Superintelligence Infrastructure
Prime Intellect is building the open superintelligence stack - from frontier agentic models to the infra that enables anyone to 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.
As a Research Engineer in our Reasoning team, you'll play a crucial role in shaping our technological direction, focusing on our test-time compute scaling research ideas. If you love working with synthetic data and teach LLMs reasoning abilities, this role is for you.
For more details about the project you would be working on, check out our outlook on decentralized training in the inference-compute paradigm.
