Lead research in AI/ML, optimize AI inference workloads, develop open-source libraries, and publish findings in top-tier conferences.
The summary above was generated by AI

At Prime Intellect, we are on a mission to accelerate open and decentralized AI progress by enabling anyone to contribute compute, code or capital to train powerful, open models. Our ultimate goal? Openly accessible AGI that benefits everyone. But we can't do it alone and we want to do this together with you.

We are building the infrastructure for decentralized AI development at scale. We aggregate global compute and enable researchers to collaboratively train state-of-the-art models through distributed training across clusters.

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.

Responsibilities
  • Lead and participate in novel research to build a massive scale synthetic data generation pipeline and orchestration solution

  • Optimize the performance, cost, and resource utilization of AI inference workloads by leveraging the most recent advances for compute & memory optimization techniques.

  • Contribute to the development of our open-source libraries and frameworks for synthetic data generation and distributed RL frameworks.

  • Publish research in top-tier AI conferences such as ICML & NeurIPS.

  • Distill highly technical project outcomes in layman approachable technical blogs to our customers and developers.

  • Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in AI/ML infrastructure and tools, synthetic data gen research and proactively identify opportunities to enhance our platform's capabilities and user experience.

Requirements
  • Strong background in AI/ML engineering, with extensive experience in designing and implementing end-to-end pipelines for the inference or training of large-scale AI models.

  • Deep expertise in distributed inference techniques and frameworks (e.g. vllm, sglang) for optimizing the performance and scalability of AI workloads.

  • Solid understanding of MLOps best practices, including model versioning, experiment tracking, and continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.

  • Passion for advancing the state-of-the-art in reasoning and democratizing access to AI capabilities for researchers, developers, and businesses worldwide.

  • If you're not familiar with these, but feel like that you can contribute to our mission and you're a high-energy person, get familiar with these resources (here, here and here) and please reach out!

Benefits & Perks
  • Competitive compensation, including equity and token incentives, aligning your success with the growth and impact of Prime Intellect.

  • Flexible work arrangements, with the option to work remotely or in-person at our offices in San Francisco.

  • Visa sponsorship and relocation assistance for international candidates.

  • Quarterly team off-sites, hackathons, conferences and learning opportunities.

  • Opportunity to work with a talented, hard-working and mission-driven team, united by a shared passion for leveraging technology to accelerate science and AI.

We recently raised $15mm in funding (total of $20mm raised) led by Founders Fund, with participation from Menlo Ventures and prominent angels including Andrej Karpathy (Eureka AI, Tesla, OpenAI), Tri Dao (Chief Scientific Officer of Together AI), Dylan Patel (SemiAnalysis), Clem Delangue (Huggingface), Emad Mostaque (Stability AI) and many others.

If you're excited about the opportunity to build the foundation for the future of decentralized AI and create a platform that empowers developers and researchers to push the boundaries of what's possible, we'd love to hear from you.
