About Baseten
- Baseten powers mission-critical inference for the world's most dynamic AI companies, like Cursor, Notion, OpenEvidence, Abridge, Clay, Gamma, and Writer. By uniting applied AI research, flexible infrastructure, and seamless developer tooling, we enable companies operating at the frontier of AI to bring cutting-edge models into production. We're growing quickly and recently raised our $1.5B Series F https://www.baseten.co/blog/announcing-our-series-f/, led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to ship AI products.
About the role
- As one of the first engineers focused on Partner Engineering at Baseten, you'll build the technical foundation behind some of our most strategic relationships.
- You'll work directly with engineers at leading model labs, hyperscalers, developer platforms, and AI infrastructure companies to turn partnerships into products developers can actually use.
Responsibilities
- Bring new capabilities into Baseten by integrating search or developer-tools providers so an agent can call the service during inference.
- Take Baseten into new distribution channels through integrations with hyperscalers, cloud marketplaces, or developer platforms.
- Launch models with leading model labs by building infrastructure that lets developers discover and run newest models on Baseten.
- Create the partner platform itself by identifying common integration primitives and turning them into reusable platform capabilities.
- Lead strategic partner integrations from technical discovery and architecture through implementation, launch, and production operation.
- Work directly with partner engineering teams to design APIs, define system boundaries, resolve cross-company dependencies, and make architectural decisions.
- Write substantial production code and own the systems you build.
- Build reusable partner-platform primitives across identity, provisioning, inference, model serving, metering, billing, and other Baseten platform capabilities.
- Own technical delivery across Baseten and partner teams, including milestones, dependencies, risks, and architectural tradeoffs.
- Raise the bar for integration reliability through strong API contracts, testing, observability, safe rollouts, and thoughtful failure handling.
Requirements
- Experience designing, shipping, and operating large-scale distributed systems in production.
- A record of leading ambiguous engineering projects across teams while contributing substantial production code yourself.
- Sound judgment about API design, service boundaries, and failure handling.
- Experience turning requests from customers, partners, or other engineering teams into a defined technical scope.
- Comfort working across application code and cloud infrastructure, including debugging behavior that crosses service boundaries.
Preferred qualifications
- Product integrations with cloud providers, developer platforms, or other infrastructure companies.
- Usage metering, marketplace infrastructure, or commerce systems that support relationships among multiple parties.
- Model serving or other artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure used in production.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity
- 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents (U.S. only)
- Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break
- Paid parental leave
- Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot
- Company-facilitated 401(k) (U.S. only)
- Exposure to a variety of ML startups
