# Design Engineer

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 end-to-end stack that makes local AI powerful, from GPU optimization and inference engines to customized agentic experiences that run directly on users’ hardware. The Role The way we interact with software is fundamentally changing right now. Most products are simply plugging AI into interfaces designed for a different era. We’re building new ones, designed around what models can actually do and what becomes possible when agentic AI runs on your own device: always-on intelligence that’s private and works offline.
