About the role

  • Senior Software Engineer at Baseten, focusing on new AI products and core platform capabilities. Collaborating on API design, infrastructure, and backend services for AI models.

Responsibilities

  • Own and lead projects and product areas end-to-end, including architecture, implementation, rollout, and long-term operations.
  • Design ergonomic, developer-friendly APIs and abstractions for infrastructure capabilities.
  • Build and operate reliable backend services (rate limiting, auth, quotas, metering, migrations) with clear SLOs.
  • Drive performance and reliability improvements through profiling, tracing, load testing, and capacity planning.
  • Mentor teammates through code reviews, design docs, and technical leadership.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience building and operating backend systems, distributed systems, or large-scale APIs.
  • Proven track record owning low-latency, reliable services (auth, rate limiting, quotas, usage metering, migrations).
  • Strong infrastructure instincts: observability, incident response, SLOs, and capacity management.
  • Comfort working across the stack when needed (backend-first, but willing to dive into frontend/CLI to unblock the product).
  • Strong written communication, including clear design docs and effective cross-functional collaboration.
  • Interest in AI/ML infrastructure and willingness to learn (ML expertise not required).

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity.
  • 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents
  • Generous PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!)
  • Paid parental leave
  • Company-facilitated 401(k)
  • Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.
