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.
Role Impact
You'll build the systems that turn bare-metal GPU servers into reliable, production-ready compute. Own the machine lifecycle from discovery and provisioning through validation, upgrades, repair, and secure reuse, reducing manual work as our fleet grows.
Core Technical Responsibilities
-
Build automated discovery, network boot, OS imaging, and configuration workflows for GPU servers
-
Automate BIOS, BMC, NIC, GPU driver, and firmware configuration with staged rollouts and safe recovery paths
-
Develop hardware inventory and lifecycle services that track machine identity, configuration, health, and readiness
-
Create acceptance tests and burn-in workflows for GPUs, memory, storage, and interconnects before capacity enters production
-
Integrate provisioning and health checks with SLURM, Kubernetes, and compute allocation systems
-
Build observability, quarantine, repair, and re-provisioning workflows; partner with datacenter teams to resolve hardware failures
-
Implement secure credential handling, tenant isolation, and data sanitization across the server lifecycle
