Head of Legal

About this role

Building Open Superintelligence Infrastructure

Prime Intellect is building the open superintelligence stack — from frontier agentic models to the infra that enables anyone to create, train, and deploy them. We aggregate and orchestrate global compute into a single control plane and pair it with the full RL post-training stack: environments, secure sandboxes, verifiable evals, and our async RL trainer. We enable researchers, startups and enterprises to run end-to-end reinforcement learning at frontier scale, adapting models to real tools, workflows, and deployment contexts.

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, Tri Dao, Dylan Patel, Clem Delangue, Emad Mostaque, and many others.

We negotiate nine- and ten-figure compute commitments with neoclouds and hyperscalers globally. We sign enterprise contracts with researchers, startups, and Fortune 500s consuming compute at scale. We ship open-source models and infrastructure that shape how the AI ecosystem develops. The legal architecture underneath all of this is a strategic function — not a downstream review process — and the Head of Legal owns it.

You will build and own the legal function at Prime Intellect end-to-end: commercial contracts across customers and suppliers, corporate governance, fundraising, IP and open-source strategy, regulatory positioning, and the operational systems that let legal scale alongside the company. You'll partner directly with leadership on the deals, structures, and decisions that define what Prime Intellect can do.

This is a builder role. We're at the stage where the legal function is being defined — playbooks, templates, contract management infrastructure, outside counsel relationships, compliance posture. The person who steps into ...
