As a lead software engineer with an affinity towards infrastructure at Baseten, you will set the direction for—and help build—the upcoming versions of Baseten’s cloud infrastructure, which is the backbone of Baseten and what our users rely on when building machine learning-powered applications.
As an engineer, you:
demonstrate fluency with one or more general purpose programming languages, including but not limited to Python, Ruby, or Go.
have managed Kubernetes clusters in production settings.
understand — and have strong opinions on — security, observability, SLA, and scalability implications, but avoid premature optimization.
Bonus points: Experience supporting machine learning teams or building ML Ops platforms, or a strong interest in learning about machine learning.
We’d also love if you have experience towards and interest in growing and leading a team.
You also:
can own projects end-to-end; engineers and designers at Baseten also function as PMs, so we’d like everyone on the team to be able to empathize with their users, whether internal or external, understand/write project specs, and manage the end-to-end execution of features.
are comfortable with navigating ambiguity and enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
are motivated by customer problems and find joy in creating simple, elegant solutions that avoid unnecessary complexity.
exercise good judgment on tradeoffs and tools needed to solve the problem and don’t over index on trendy/fashionable tech unless it’s the right tool for the job.
demonstrate pride, ownership, and accountability for your work and expect the same from your teammates.
OUR CURRENT TECH STACK
Infrastructure — AWS + Kubernetes + Istio + Knative + Prometheus stack
Backend — Python + Django + Postgres + Redis
Frontend — React + TypeScript + GraphQL
