About the role
We're looking for a Forward-Deployed Research Engineer (FDRE) to serve as the primary technical interface between Prime Intellect and our most important customers: AI companies, research labs, and enterprises running post-training and agentic RL on our platform. This is not a traditional research role. You'll spend most of your time embedded with customers, understanding their models, workflows, and goals. Then, you'll translate those objectives into concrete training runs, environment designs, evaluation harnesses, and deployment recipes using the Lab stack. You are the person who makes the platform work in practice for real workloads. You'll work closely with our research, product, and infrastructure teams to feed field insights back into the platform, shaping what we build next based on what customers actually need.
