About the role
- Primary Labs is looking for an Operator-in-Residence (OIR) to explore the frontier of local AI and agent frameworks and turn technical breakthroughs into company opportunities.
- This role is open to candidates based in New York or San Francisco.
- You'll move from exploration to conviction quickly, helping determine which technical breakthroughs can underpin venture-scale businesses.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain a pipeline of hypotheses, pressure-testing them through independent research, conversations with domain experts, and internal debate with the Primary team.
- Assemble and present supporting material (documents, slide decks, memos) to industry connections and firm teammates to refine ideas
- Build working prototypes rapidly to prove out initial concepts, seek early customer feedback, and iterate in tight loops.
- Develop initial business plans for the most promising opportunities, including technology architecture, product roadmap, and go-to-market strategy.
- Lead early hiring efforts to assemble the founding team.
- Agent Native: You're already building with agents in your spare time and intuitively think in workflows, tools, and autonomous systems.
- Assemble and present supporting material (documents, slide decks, memos) to industry connections and firm teammates to refine ideas; defend views with evidence while maintaining a willingness to abandon ideas that do not survive scrutiny.
Benefits
- Entrepreneurial: You code constantly - side projects, experiments, and late-night "what if this works?" prototypes
Company info
- As an OIR, you will work directly with the AI Infrastructure Investment team to identify, validate, and shape new company ideas.
- OIRs at Primary Labs are company creators and have the opportunity to step into a founding role within a company they help incubate.
- We're going to break down those barriers with a company designed to make agents more accessible, exploring topics that range from compute to privacy, commerce to social.
