About the role
Prime Intellect is building the open superintelligence stack and seeks researchers to develop post-training and evaluation systems for multimodal agents operating browsers, desktops, and cross-application workflows. The role is externally facing and involves turning real workflows into environments, rewards, and experiments to drive reliable improvement at frontier scale.
Responsibilities
- Multimodal environments built from partner workflows, demonstrations, tools, interface state, and outcome criteria.
- Browser, desktop, and cross-application agents with reliable sandbox and boundary enforcement.
- Training and evaluation from demonstrations, interventions, production failures, synthetic tasks, and verifiable outcomes.
- Experiments on recovery and generalization across applications, layouts, permissions, and deployment contexts.
Qualifications
- Relevant experience: multimodal agents, computer use, browser or desktop automation, RL, imitation learning, HCI, embodied agents, or long-horizon agent evaluation.
- Hands-on experience building and debugging model-training, post-training, agent, evaluation, or closely adjacent experimental loops.
- Strong experimental judgment: meaningful baselines, careful trace inspection, clear failure attribution, and a willingness to change direction when the evidence changes.
- Strong Python and the ability to build artifacts that other researchers and engineers can run, inspect, and extend.
- Comfort owning ambiguous problems and keeping partners and teammates current as you resolve them.
