Role
Who you are
- You are a strong fit if you have strong product intuition, move fast without sacrificing quality, and take satisfaction in building tools that make the people around you measurably more effective
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related field
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent owning a product or internal platform end to end
- Strong full-stack proficiency; experience with NextJS, Javascript, Postgres / Drizzle, Tailwind and AWS. Experience with SST.dev is a plus but not a requirement
- Demonstrated ability to work directly with non-engineering stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into product decisions
- Experience building internal tooling, operational platforms, or developer infrastructure — particularly in high-growth or infra-heavy environments
- High ownership mindset: you notice what is broken, you fix it, and you follow through
- Interest in AI/ML infrastructure; familiarity with GPU infrastructure, or capacity planning is a meaningful plus
What the job involves
- As a Software Engineer on the Capacity team, you will own the internal operating system that sits at the heart of how Baseten operates. Capacity helps unlock revenue by carefully balancing supply and demand. The operating system manages all aspects of the customer lifecycle: from onboarding to managing complex customer SLA requirements
- This role is for engineers who want to own a product end to end, not just implement tickets. You will work directly with the Capacity, Sales, and Engineering teams to understand requirements, define solutions, and ship software that removes friction from some of the most high-stakes workflows in the company. If something is slow, manual, or error-prone in the capacity fulfillment lifecycle, you will be the one to fix it
- Own the Capacity product end to end: scoping, design, implementation, and iteration based on feedback from internal stakeholders
- Translate complex operational requirements from Capacity, Sales, and SRE teams into clean, ergonomic product experiences
- Build and maintain full-stack features across the Capacity toolchain, including UI surfaces, APIs, and backend services
- Identify workflow bottlenecks and manual processes across the capacity lifecycle and drive their elimination through tooling
- Instrument your work with observability and monitoring so issues surface before they become incidents
- Partner with SRE and Infra teams to ensure Capacity reflects the operational reality of the fleet, not just the desired state
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.
