Basecompute · Berlin
About Us --------
Base Compute is an AI inference lab. Our mission is to bring AGI on device. We believe in a world where everyone has access to intelligence: fast, private and always available on your device.
We’re building the infrastructure for the next generation of on-device AI, from silicon-level optimizations to distributed inference systems.
We’re working on hard problems at the intersection of inference efficiency, model intelligence and autonomous research.
The Role --------
We’re looking for a Founding ML Researcher to work at the frontier of on-device AI. This role is for someone who identifies problems and potentials, designs and executes experiments and derives insights that translate into real-world performance.
You’ll have significant ownership over our research agenda and direct influence on the technical bets the company makes.
What You’ll Work On -------------------
Inference research: Identifying and validating new approaches to on-device efficiency, including speculative decoding variants, novel quantization schemes and entirely new techniques yet to be discovered Model routing research: Building the intelligence that decides how requests are served between on-device vs. frontier API models Autoresearch pipelines: Designing systems that can autonomously explore, hypothesize and evaluate research ideas that accelerate our R&D loop Evaluations and benchmarks: Developing rigorous evals that measure performance in the real world, outside of clean academic settings
What We’re Looking For ----------------------
PhD in ML or equivalent industry research experience Deep understanding of LLM architectures and the principles of AI inference Expertise in a relevant topic, such as speculative decoding, quantization theory, model distillation, reinforcement learning A track record of producing results that people build on: research papers, open-source projects or blog posts that prove out novel ideas Good communication: the ability to explain complex ideas simply, giv…
