Baseten is hiring a research scientist to work on post-training methods and inference performance. The job mixes open-ended research (how models learn, alignment, architectural efficiency) with applied work tied to the company's inference platform and customers. Duties include designing experiments at multi-node, trillion-parameter scale, publishing at NeurIPS, ICML or ICLR, working with customers, and mentoring junior researchers. The posting asks for a master's or PhD with first-author publications, and says it will also consider strong candidates without traditional credentials.
