About the role

  • We're looking for an AI Engineer to join our Training Product team and do that at Baseten.
  • This is a hands-on role with real autonomy.
  • If you've been shipping agents and want that to be the job, let's talk.

Responsibilities

  • Build and ship agentic product experiences, including chat-style and assistant-like interfaces, from prototype to GA.
  • Design the harnesses, execution flows, and guardrails that make AI systems reliable in production.
  • Build internal automation and AI tooling that measurably increases the velocity of engineering, research, and go-to-market teams.
  • Partner with research engineers to scope product opportunities out of internal research workflows and turn them into customer-facing features.
  • Work throughout the stack (API layer, backend, agent orchestration, frontend) to implement features end to end.
  • Use Baseten's own training and inference products yourself to develop intuition around customer workflows.
  • Identify where AI can replace manual process across the company and build the thing rather than write the proposal.
  • 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.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience building and shipping software applications.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and the ability to clear a real technical bar, not just prompt well.
  • Proficiency in Python, with fluency in at least one other language.
  • Comfort working autonomously in a fast-moving environment with limited structure.
  • Ability to move between customer-facing product work and internal tooling and automation.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to bridge technical depth and business needs.
  • Define and instrument evals so you know whether a change actually improved output quality.

Nice to have

  • Experience as a founding engineer or early employee at a startup.
  • Familiarity with agent frameworks and harnesses (LangChain, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, MCP).
  • Frontend fluency.

Compensation

  • Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity
  • (U.S. only) 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents
  • Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!)
  • Paid parental leave
  • Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot
  • Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.
  • If you are a motivated individual with a passion for machine learning and a desire to be part of a collaborative and forward-thinking team, we would love to hear from you.
  • 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.
