Baseten · San Francisco
About this role
## 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 help frontier AI companies bring cutting-edge models into production. We’re growing quickly and recently raised our **$1.5B Series F** (led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital). Join us to help build the platform engineers rely on to ship AI products. ## The Role — Software Engineer (Capacity) As a Software Engineer on the **Internal Tooling** team, you’ll own the internal operating system at the heart of how Baseten operates. **Capacity** helps unlock revenue by carefully balancing supply and demand. The operating system manages the full customer lifecycle—from onboarding through complex customer SLA requirements. This role is for engineers who want to **own a product end to end**, not just implement tickets. You’ll work directly with the **Capacity, Sales, and Engineering** teams to understand requirements, define solutions, and ship software that removes friction from high-stakes workflows. If something is **slow, manual, or error-prone** in the capacity fulfillment lifecycle, you’ll be the one to fix it. ## Responsibilities - Own the **Capacity product end to end**: scoping, design, implementation, and iteration based on internal stakeholder feedback - Translate complex operational requirements from **Capacity, Sales, and SRE** into clean, ergonomic product experiences - Build and maintain **full-stack features** across the Capacity toolchain (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 operational reality of the fleet (not just the desired state) ## Requirements - **Bachelor’s degree** or higher in Computer Science or a related field - **5+ years** of software engineering experience, with meaningful time 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 - 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**—especially in high-growth or infra-heavy environments - High-ownership mindset: notice what’s broken, fix it, and follow through - Interest in **AI/ML infrastructure**; familiarity with **GPU infrastructure** or **capacity planning** is a meaningful plus ## Benefits - Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity - **(U.S. only)** 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents - Flexible PTO, including company-wide **Winter Break** (offices closed Christmas Eve–New Year’s Day) - Paid parental leave - Fertility and family-building stipend through **Carrot** - **(U.S. only)** Company-facilitated **401(k)** - Exposure to a variety of ML startups—great learning and networking opportunities ## Equal Opportunity Baseten is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive wo
