We're growing quickly and recently raised our $1.5B Series F https://www.baseten.co/blog/announcing-our-series-f/, led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to to ship AI products. THE ROLE: Are you the person on your team who builds the agent everyone else ends up using? We're looking for an AI Engineer to join our Training Product team and do that at Baseten. You'll build AI-driven product features for the customers training and post-training frontier models on our platform, and you'll raise the ceiling on how Baseten itself uses AI internally, turning manual workflows into agentic ones that make every other team faster. You'll work directly with our research engineers to scope and build products, taking ideas from a research loop that already works internally to something customers can run themselves. This is a hands-on role with real autonomy. You'll pick the problems worth solving, build the harnesses, execution flows, and guardrails that make AI systems reliable, and own the results. If you've been shipping agents and want that to be the job, let's talk. EXAMPLE INITIATIVES: Take a look at these blog posts written by members of our team: - Baseten Training: an autoresearch substrate https://www.baseten.co/blog/baseten-training-an-autoresearch-substrate/ - Introducing Baseten Loops https://www.baseten.co/blog/introducing-the-baseten-loops-sdk/ - Harnesses are everything.

Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to to ship AI products. THE ROLE Forward Deployed Engineers work directly with the largest and fastest-growing AI companies in the world, owning their technical outcomes on Baseten and taking on the hardest problems in serving and improving models at scale. The work spans the model lifecycle: inference, post-training, and the systems that tighten the loop between them. - Act as each account's de facto CTO on Baseten, with final accountability for how their workloads are designed, run, and scaled. - Take customer objectives from vague to shipped: frame the problem, define the spec and success criteria, build the PoC, and carry it through to production quickly, using the right tools for the problem. - Design the evals and benchmarks that isolate where quality or performance falls short, then close the gap yourself, whether that means optimizing inference, improving the model through post-training, or reworking the eval itself. - Be the first responder to mission-critical failures including triage, owning the fix directly or route to the owning team and stay accountable until it ships. - Build internal systems so that each engagement is faster than the last. This includes tooling and automation for eval and deployment infrastructure, and the recipes and reference implementations that make the product more self-serve. - Shape the product itself, channeling what your accounts need into the roadmap and shipping fixes and features into Baseten's codebase yourself. - Do all of this across multiple accounts at once, sequencing the work, pulling in the right people at the right time, and keeping customers and internal stakeholders aligned on status and risk. QUALIFICATIONS - Minimum 1-2 years of software engineering experience, shipping and maintaining code in large production systems, ideally with breadth across the stack - Experience debugging complex production issues - working through logs, metrics, and traces to root-cause problems in unfamiliar systems - Confidence owning ambiguous technical problems. This includes triaging, making decisions under uncertainty, and knowing when to pull in other engineers who own the underlying systems - Motivation beyond pure engineering. An interest in wanting to work directly with customers, understand their problems firsthand, and influence the product - Clear communication on complex technical topics, whether you're talking to a customer's engineers or their leadership - Genuine curiosity about AI inference and training, and a drive to become an expert in the infrastructure powering it - Willingness to respond to customers outside regular working hours and participate in an on-call rotation - Excitement about solving problems for some of the largest and fastest-growing companies in the world running mission-critical AI workloads WHAT YOU'LL BRING We don't expect any one person to cover all of this - the strongest candidates may spike in one or two of the following: - Depth in a core infrastructure domain such as storage systems or networking (anywhere from the cloud layer to cluster interconnects like InfiniBand and RoCE) - Experience operating distributed compute platforms like Kubernetes, Slurm, or Ray, especially for GPU workloads - A detailed understanding of LLM architectures and modern inference engines like vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, or SGLang - The ability to profile and optimize GPU workloads, in training or serving - Hands-on experience with post-training techniques like SFT and RL, or a broader deep learning background plus fluency in a tensor computation library like PyTorch or JAX - Operational depth - running on-call, leading incident response, debugging distributed systems under pressure BENEFITS - Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity. - 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents - Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!) - Paid parental leave - Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot - Company-facilitated 401(k) - Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.

ABOUT BASETEN Baseten powers mission-critical inference for the world's most dynamic AI companies, like Cursor, Notion, OpenEvidence, Abridge, Clay, Gamma and Writer. By uniting applied AI research, flexible infrastructure, and seamless developer tooling, we enable companies operating at the frontier of AI to bring cutting-edge models into production. We're growing quickly and recently raised our $1.5B Series F https://www.baseten.co/blog/announcing-our-series-f/, led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to to ship AI products. THE ROLE Baseten's engineers want to work in an AI-first way. What's missing isn't enthusiasm — it's the platform underneath it. Today everyone assembles their own agent config, context files, and MCP servers, so the good patterns stay trapped in individual setups instead of becoming defaults everyone inherits. You'll build that platform: the agent configurations tuned to our monorepo, the context and tooling layer that makes agents competent in our codebase, the evals that tell us which approaches actually work, and the rollout mechanics that get a new engineer productive with agents in week one. You are not here to mandate how engineers use AI — you're here to make the good path the easy path. Success looks like teams adopting what you build because it beats what they'd cobble together themselves, not because a policy requires it. Platform engineer, not AI evangelist. Ship infrastructure, measure it, kill what doesn't work, let adoption be the referee. The playbook for AI-first SDLC doesn't exist at any company yet. You'll write ours. WHAT YOU'LL BUILD Agent substrate — Repo-level context infrastructure that makes agents competent in our codebase (CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md http://CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md conventions, architecture and domain context, and the tooling to keep it accurate as code moves). Internal MCP servers giving agents scoped access to CI, observability, incident tooling, deployment state, and docs. Shared skills, subagents, and hooks that encode Baseten workflows. Sandboxed environments where agents can build and test safely. The golden path — Project templates and onboarding that ship with AI tooling configured and working. Self-serve infrastructure so teams build their own agents without you as the bottleneck. Gateway, auth, cost controls, and audit logging for internal model access. The feedback loop — Eval harnesses that answer "is this config better than that one" against real Baseten tasks, not vibes. Instrumentation of AI tool usage and its downstream effects on cycle time, review latency, and change failure rate. Honest reporting, including on what you built that didn't pan out. Agents in the SDLC — Automation where agents earn their keep: PR review triage, test gap-filling, incident context assembly, migrations and refactors, codebase Q&A. Integrating agents into CI/CD with guardrails that make it trustworthy. RESPONSIBILITIES - Own the internal AI developer platform end to end — architecture, build, rollout, operation, measurement. - Evaluate and integrate third-party AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and whatever ships next quarter), and build the context layer that makes them work against our monorepo. - Build frameworks that let other engineers create their own agents without deep LLM expertise. - Establish the evaluation practice for AI-assisted development at Baseten, and use it to drive investment decisions. - Drive adoption through developer experience — good defaults, clear docs, low friction — not mandate. - Embed with teams to find where AI genuinely unblocks them, then generalize those wins into platform capabilities. - Own the safety layer: permissions, secrets handling, audit trails, cost management. REQUIREMENTS - Have 4+ years of relevant industry experience building and enabling AI native SDLC - Strong proficiency in Python and/or Go, building tools other engineers depend on daily. - Hands-on experience with LLMs and agent frameworks — tool calling, MCP, context management, orchestration, failure handling. You've shipped something agentic that real people used, not just prototyped. - Deep personal fluency with AI coding tools and well-formed opinions about where they break down. - Platform mindset: you build for adoption and self-service, treat internal engineers as customers, and would rather ship a good default than write a style guide. - Developer tooling, CI/CD, and Kubernetes/Docker fundamentals. - Comfort with ambiguity — this space invalidates its own best practices every few months. - Excellent written communication. Much of your leverage is docs, templates, and examples that scale beyond conversations you're in. BENEFITS - Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity. - 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents - Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!) - Paid parental leave - Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot - Company-facilitated 401(k) - Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.

Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to to ship AI products. THE ROLE Baseten is seeking talented and experienced Software Engineers to join our Platform team within the Infrastructure organization. As a senior member of Baseten's Platform Team, you will own the systems that let every engineer at Baseten prove their code works before it reaches production. Our product runs mission-critical AI inference for customers who measure downtime in dollars per second, which means our internal bar for correctness, performance, and failure tolerance has to be exceptional. Your focus is the full testing stack: fast and reliable unit test tooling, integration harnesses that spin up realistic environments on demand, load and performance testing for GPU-backed inference workloads, and resilience testing that deliberately breaks things so our customers never have to find out what happens when a node dies mid-request. This is a builder role with org-wide leverage. You won't be writing tests for other teams — you'll be building the frameworks, harnesses, and feedback loops that make writing good tests the path of least resistance, and you'll set the standards for what "well-tested" means at Baseten. RESPONSIBILITIES - Own Baseten's testing strategy end to end — define the standards, the tiers, and the tooling that engineering teams build against. - Build and maintain unit, integration, load and performance testing frameworks - Design end to end test infrastructure that provisions realistic dependencies on demand — ephemeral Kubernetes namespaces, containerized service dependencies, etc. - Build resilience and chaos testing capabilities: fault injection, network partition and latency simulation, pod and node failure scenarios, dependency degradation, and automated verification that our systems degrade gracefully and recover. - Attack test suite reliability head-on — flake detection and quarantine, test impact analysis and selective execution, parallelization, and aggressive reduction of end-to-end CI wall time. - Build observability into the testing layer itself: coverage reporting, test health dashboards, failure triage tooling, and clear signals about which areas of the codebase are under-tested. - Create project templates and shared libraries so new services start with a complete testing setup on day one. - Partner directly with product and infrastructure teams — embed where needed, understand their hardest testing problems, and turn one-off solutions into platform capabilities. - Mentor engineers across the org on testing practice and raise the collective bar through code review, documentation, and internal advocacy. REQUIREMENTS - Strong proficiency in Go and/or Python, with hands-on experience building test tooling and libraries used by other engineers. - Deep experience with testing frameworks and their internals — pytest, Go's testing package, testify, testcontainers, or equivalents — including the ability to extend them, not just use them. - Experience designing integration test infrastructure for distributed systems, including ephemeral environment provisioning and dependency management. - Practical experience with load and performance testing tools (k6, Locust, Vegeta, JMeter, Gatling, or similar) and the judgment to interpret results and drive action from them. - Solid Kubernetes and Docker fundamentals — you can build test infrastructure that runs on and tests against real cluster environments. - Advanced understanding of CI/CD, including how to keep large test suites fast, deterministic, and trustworthy at scale. - A track record of measurably improving testing culture on an engineering team — you have opinions on what to test, what not to test, and where the ROI actually is. - Are excited about building foundational infrastructure and are comfortable working independently on ambiguous, high-impact technical challenges BENEFITS - Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity. - 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents - Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!) - Paid parental leave - Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot - Company-facilitated 401(k) - Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.

By uniting applied AI research, flexible infrastructure, and seamless developer tooling, we enable companies operating at the frontier of AI to bring cutting-edge models into production. We're growing quickly and recently raised our $1.5B Series F https://www.baseten.co/blog/announcing-our-series-f/, led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to to ship AI products. THE ROLE Baseten is building its own GPU infrastructure for large-scale inference. As we move into large scale, high-density NVIDIA systems, the hardest failures are intermittent, cross-layer, and difficult to prove: RoCE congestion, InfiniBand stalls, ECN/DCQCN mis-tuning, bad optics, RNIC issues, host kernel stalls, GPU driver problems, and workload symptoms that look like network problems, but are not. We are hiring a Software Engineer to build a first-class observability and root-cause analysis system for GPU fabrics. This is a hard distributed systems problem, not a dashboarding problem. The system will collect high-volume signals from switches, hosts, active probes, and inference services; reduce and correlate them in real time; understand topology and service ownership; and produce actionable diagnosis while an incident is still unfolding. This role sits at the boundary between networking and inference software. RDMA data paths, GPUDirect transfers, prefill/decode disaggregation, KV cache movement, request routing, and workload backpressure can all create fabric symptoms or hide real fabric failures. The goal is to tell an operator, quickly and with evidence, whether an incident is caused by the fabric, host, NIC, GPU, RDMA path, scheduler, or serving layer — and what to do next. EXAMPLE INITIATIVES - Real-time telemetry engine — Build the ingestion, reduction, storage, and query path for high-cardinality fabric, host, GPU, and workload telemetry. - Service-aware fabric diagnosis — Build collectors, probes, and topology-aware correlation to detect latency, drops, stalls, congestion, bad paths, and degradation. - Software-aware RDMA diagnosis — Tie network behavior to RDMA operations, GPUDirect paths, KV cache transfers, prefill/decode disaggregation, and request latency. RESPONSIBILITIES - Own Baseten’s GPU fabric observability and root-cause analysis architecture. - Build telemetry pipelines across switches, NICs, hosts, GPUs, Kubernetes, and inference services. - Model topology, flow paths, service ownership, and failure domains. - Separate true fabric faults from host, NIC, GPU, kernel, driver, RDMA, scheduler, and workload failures. - Create clear operator workflows for triage, remediation, and post-incident learning. REQUIREMENTS - Staff-level or senior staff-level experience building production infrastructure software. - Strong distributed systems background, especially streaming systems, telemetry pipelines, diagnostics, or control-plane software. - Experience building systems that process high-volume, high-cardinality, noisy operational data. - Understanding of networking fundamentals and high-performance networks - Ability to work with low-level infrastructure signals and build practical correlation, anomaly detection, or root-cause analysis systems. BENEFITS - Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity. - 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents - Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!) - Paid parental leave - Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot - Company-facilitated 401(k) - Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.
