About the Team The Product & Platform teams at OpenAI are responsible for delivering the company’s most impactful offerings—such as ChatGPT, our API platform, and new enterprise capabilities—to a global and diverse customer base. These systems must perform at scale and deliver exceptional experiences to developers, consumers, and businesses alike. The ChatGPT engineering org builds and operates the systems that bring product improvements to users across backend services, web, mobile, and desktop platforms. The Developer Velocity team partners with product engineering, platform, infrastructure, reliability, engineering acceleration, and observability teams to make everyday development faster and releases safer, more predictable, and easier to operate. About the Role We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to improve developer velocity and deployment excellence across ChatGPT. You will lead durable improvements to local development, CI, testing, build systems, release trains, progressive rollout, and post-deployment validation. You will identify the highest-leverage sources of engineering friction, align teams around shared standards and metrics, and drive adoption of tooling and workflows that improve both speed and reliability. This role combines systems thinking, technical program leadership, and hands-on operating rigor across a broad engineering surface. This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees. In this role, you will: Own the cross-functional roadmap for improving local development, CI, testing, build workflows, and release infrastructure.

We're growing quickly and recently raised our $1.5B Series F , led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to ship AI products. THE ROLE We're hiring a Product Data Scientist to establish how product decisions at Baseten are made with data. You'll work directly with Product and Engineering, alongside GTM to determine measurement, strategy, experimentation and implementation. This is a foundational, hands-on role. You'll define what success looks like across a technical, usage-based platform and turn ambiguous questions into analyses, forecasts, and experiments that shape product strategy. You'll work from clickstream and product events through inference telemetry and observability data, helping Baseten make faster decisions about reliability, performance, adoption and developer experience. RESPONSIBILITIES Partner directly with Product and Engineering: frame the questions that matter, define success criteria, and turn analysis into roadmap, launch, and prioritization decisions. Define how product success is measured: establish metrics across activation, adoption, retention, expansion, reliability and user experience. Support experimentation and launches: design measurement plans, analyze A/B experiments and controlled rollouts, and translate results into product decisions. Diagnose reliability and scaling behavior: join customer signals with request, replica, deployment, and cluster telemetry to find patterns in release bottlenecks, unhealthy replicas, and models without traffic. Define the enterprise customer journey and measure feature adoption
