What the job involves
- We’re looking for an experienced Executive Assistant to support our founding team. As the first hire in this role, you’ll provide essential administrative and operational support to help our growing team run smoothly.
- You'll manage San Francisco office duties, help facilitate new hire onboarding, support team travel logistics, assist with scheduling, and own a range of high-level administrative tasks.

- As a fast-growing team (45 employees and counting), we expect the responsibilities of this role to evolve over time.
- New hire onboarding: Order laptops, send swag, and provide building access for new hires. Coordinate onboarding trips for remote employees and set up new accounts and devices

- Office management (San Francisco): Manage office operations, including furniture, equipment, snacks, and building access. Support SF-based marketing events. Scale solutions for office expansion and lunch programs as we grow
- Finance and legal: Pay bills, manage invoices, enforce corporate card policies, and collect 1099s from vendors. Organize financial and legal documents
- Security and compliance: Ensure company-wide compliance with security protocols like Drata
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 built 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 without adding workload to businesses.
With serious funding, Baseten plans to use its investment to expand its engineering and go-to-market teams. This is part of its focus 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 uncertain on how to actually use.
Simplifying the complex world of artificial intelligence for business is no mean feat but the three founders, who met whilst working as engineers at Gumroad, have a lot of experience in how to navigate this gap in the market.
