Senior GPU Infrastructure Architect for Frontier AI

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.

Core Technical Responsibilities

This customer-facing role combines deep technical expertise with hands-on implementation. You'll be instrumental in:

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
