Careers / 01

Build production AI
that survives contact with the real world.

We believe AI should amplify human potential, not replace it — and we're proving it in production, inside real enterprises. If you want to do work that changes how an industry operates, not another demo that dies in a slide deck, this is the lab for that.

 02 / Who we hire

We don't hire for roles.
We hire for the mission.

Silicon Prime hires people who believe in the mission and own outcomes end-to-end. The mission is Project Efficient: AI that makes people better at their work, not obsolete. We build small pods, one accountable lead per engagement, no junior bench — so the people we hire do the work themselves, and teach others to do it well.

If you want a big-agency consultancy with a glossy roster, this is not the place. If you want a lab where the title on your business card is the title doing the work, you'll fit here.

We hold a high bar and hire slowly because every person here moves the mission forward. Expect a real take-home, real reference calls, and a real conversation with the founder — we want people who choose this work on purpose.

01 / Discipline

Production over demo

Code that runs at scale, with telemetry, evals, and rollback paths from day one.

02 / Judgment

Taste in tradeoffs

Knowing when to use a frontier model, a small model, classic ML, or no AI at all.

03 / Ownership

One accountable lead

You sign your name to the work. You're the one phone call when something breaks.

04 / Craft

Written + spoken clarity

You can write a one-page memo a CTO will actually read. You can run a working session.

 03 / Open roles

10 roles open
across the lab.

Full-time positions across product, engineering, AI, design, and delivery. Los Angeles is the primary hub. A select few roles are fully remote.
