Responsibilities:

• Define and pursue a research agenda spanning both foundational and applied work, with the applied component connected to Baseten's platform and customer needs
• Design and execute rigorous experiments, frequently at meaningful scale (multi-node, trillion parameter models)
• Work with customers to translate domain-specific requirements into research problems, where relevant to your agenda
• Publish at top venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR) and establish Baseten's research presence
• Collaborate with model performance and training infrastructure teams to bridge research findings and inference production systems
• Mentor junior researchers and shape the technical direction of the research organization as it grows
