Prime Intellect is excited to announce our AI Research Residency Program, a unique opportunity for exceptional researchers, engineers, and hackers to join our team for 6-12 months and contribute to state-of-the-art decentralized AI research project.
This program is designed to provide a bridge for brilliant technical minds from diverse fields to transition into AI research and development.

The Prime Intellect AI Research Residency is a paid, full-time program that offers hands-on experience working on real-world AI challenges alongside our world-class research team.
Residents will have the opportunity to:

Collaborate with leading experts in AI, distributed systems, and protocols to develop state-of-the-art open language models, coding agents, and scientific discovery models
Contribute to projects focused on democratizing AI and making it universally accessible through the Prime Intellect platform
Gain practical experience in developing and deploying large-scale AI models using novel architectures and distributed training techniques across thousands of GPUs and smaller clusters
Publish research papers and present findings at top-tier AI conferences
Develop a strong network within the decentralized AI community

We welcome applications from researchers, engineers, and hackers with diverse backgrounds and skill sets, including but not limited to:

PhD students or postdoctoral researchers in computer science, mathematics, physics, neuroscience, or related fields
Experienced software engineers with a strong interest in transitioning to AI research
Self-taught individuals with a proven track record of exceptional technical contributions
Candidates with experience in machine learning, distributed systems, or protocols

Residents will have the opportunity to work on one or more of the following focus areas:

Distributed AI Infrastructure: Contribute to the development of the Prime Intellect protocol, enabling massively scalable, distributed compute marketplaces and collective ownership of AI models.
Open Language Models: Build large language models like open-source software, allowing for continual improvement and model merging. We envision a future where all training compute can be built upon by everyone so that all efforts towards intelligence are cumulative. (Inspired by Colin Raffel).
Coding Agents: Train AI agents that deeply understand code semantics and can autonomously build complex software systems.
Scientific Discovery: Explore scientific agents and foundation models to accelerate research in fields such as longevity drug discovery, materials science and other scientific areas.

Competitive compensation, including equity 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 or Berlin.
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.
