Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to to ship AI products. Product at Baseten Product at Baseten is a nascent function. Our company today has a strong engineering culture, is heavily customer-obsessed, and moves fast. We're building the product function now, and you'd be one of the first people who will help define it. You'll work directly with our founders and with some of the best systems and infrastructure engineers in the world, and you'll set the standard for building great AI Infrastructure. PMs at Baseten don't sit above engineers - you earn ownership by being technical, finding the truth in front of customers, building great cross-functional relationships, and shipping great product experiences. The role Getting a model into production still takes real expertise — choosing a serving engine, sizing hardware, tuning it, wiring it into an app. We want a developer to go from "it runs on my laptop" to "it's serving production traffic" in minutes, on their own. You'll own the entire experience a developer touches to deploy and iterate: the CLI and SDKs, the console, onboarding, model discovery, deployment configuration, truss, and the increasingly agent-driven ways developers build. Your job is to make Baseten synonymous with Great DevEx and make it effortless to drive and self-serve deploy models on Baseten for far more developers than it is today. Impact and outcomes you'll drive You will collapse time-to-production — take a developer from first sign-up to a running, maint

As we continue to scale, you will be the primary point of contact for day-to-day technical issues, allowing you to have a direct impact on our team's productivity and overall office environment. This position is ideal for a hands-on problem solver who enjoys a mix of hardware and software troubleshooting, user lifecycle management, and maintaining the physical IT infrastructure of a modern office. While you will focus heavily on elevating our internal support standards, you will also assist with systems administration and workflow automation as our company evolves. This is a hybrid role based out of our San Francisco or New York office, following our standard policy of three days per week in-person to ensure our physical office and AV systems remain high-performing and reliable.

This role exists to make procurement a source of leverage for the business, not friction. Your goal is to build scalable process, take on vendor management and RFP work that today sits informally with individual teams, and free up business owners' time and capacity, all while building the guardrails the company needs as it grows. You'll partner closely with Finance, Legal, Security, Compliance, IT, and business owners across the company, and you'll be judged on whether teams feel supported and unblocked, not slowed down.
