Company mission
To make machine learning accessible to every organisation.
Role
Who you are
- Strong-level proficiency in Go and/or Python
- Have worked with Kubernetes-based deployment systems at scale
- Have experience building or operating continuous deployment platforms
- Are familiar with GitOps tooling such as ArgoCD or Flux
- Care deeply about safe production rollouts and minimizing blast radius
- Excellent developer tool culture with a focus on best practices. Bonus points if you have personally developed open-source developer tools
- Are excited about building foundational infrastructure and are comfortable working independently on ambiguous, high-impact technical challenges
What the job involves
- Baseten is seeking talented and experienced Software Engineers to join our Platform team within the Infrastructure organization
- As an early member of Baseten's Platform Team, you will be pivotal in building internal infrastructure to support our engineering organization
- You will own the deployment platform, release pipelines, and rollout safety mechanisms that allow engineers across Baseten to deploy changes rapidly while minimizing operational risk
- Our mission is to make production deployments fast, safe, and increasingly autonomous
- If you are passionate about elegant solutions—like streamlined monorepos, lightning-fast CI pipelines, and thoughtfully designed shared libraries—you'll thrive at Baseten
- Design and build continuous deployment infrastructure that safely rolls out changes across dozens of Kubernetes clusters and global regions
- Develop systems for progressive delivery, including canary releases, staged rollouts, and automated rollback
- Improve engineering velocity by reducing friction in the release pipeline and automating manual operational workflows
- Work with product and infrastructure teams to ensure their services are deployable, observable, and resilient at scale
- Implement and evolve deployment methodologies such as GitOps, infrastructure-as-code, and progressive delivery patterns
- Build systems that automatically evaluate deployment health using metrics, logs, traces, and alerts to detect regressions and trigger safe rollbacks
- Interest in building systems that support agent-assisted or autonomous deployment workflows using modern AI tooling
Our take
As with its mathematical namesake, Baseten focuses on simplifying the complex. The San Francisco startup focuses on simplifying the integration of artificial intelligence into businesses. The tools that Baseten build demolish the need for businesses to hire specialised engineers, utilising the huge strides in artificial intelligence that we’ve seen in the last few years, all without adding workload to businesses.
With serious funding behind it, Baseten has grown its team by three times year-over-year over the last five years. Specifically, it's hired across engineering and marketing, gaining talent from companies such as GitHub, Google, Uber, Amazon, and Palantir. Part of Baseten's focus is on helping companies implement the tools that they have at their disposal, a long-overlooked aspect of machine learning that many businesses have been eager to champion, but are uncertain about how to actually use.
Simplifying the complex world of artificial intelligence for business is no mean feat, but with hundreds of millions in funding behind it and a $5 billion valuation reported in 2026, the company is well on its way to market domination. What's more, the three founders, who met whilst working as engineers at Gumroad, have a lot of experience in navigating this gap in the market.
