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, led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital.

Product at Baseten

Product at Baseten is a nascent function. Our company today has a strong engineering culture, is heavily customer-obsessed, and moves fast. We're building the product function now, and you'd be one of the first people who will help define it. You'll work directly with our founders and with some of the best systems and infrastructure engineers in the world, setting the standard for building great AI infrastructure. PMs at Baseten don't sit above engineers—you earn ownership by being technical, finding the truth in front of customers, building great cross-functional relationships, and shipping great product experiences.

Responsibilities

  • Own the entire experience a developer touches to deploy and iterate: the CLI and SDKs, the console, onboarding, model discovery, deployment configuration, truss, and the increasingly agent-driven ways developers build.
  • Collapse time-to-production—take a developer from first sign-up to a running, maintained production deployment, and drive down the time it takes to get there.
  • Make the CLI and SDKs the primary way developers and their AI agents build on Baseten—and converge the authoring surfaces (CLI, console, truss, config.yml / model.py / chains.py) into one coherent path.
  • Make a developer's first run effortless—onboarding, model discovery and deploy via the Model Library, and a first deploy where errors surface and builds show progress.
  • Own the deployment lifecycle that lets teams ship safely—environment promotion (dev → staging → prod), version history and an artifact/model registry, reproducible deployments, and the progressive-delivery controls developers set and read: canary, shadow, A/B, scheduled promotion, and one-gesture rollback.
  • Define how developers compose multi-model apps—Chains and the DevEx for developers building multi-modal agents and applications.
  • Grow self-serve deployment across FDEs and customers—live in customer conversations and turn deploy-and-operate friction into roadmap, so work that needs an FDE today becomes something a developer does alone.

Requirements

  • 5+ years building developer-facing or technical products—as a product manager, or as a product-minded engineer.
  • You’ve built dev tools as an engineer before becoming a PM. You've shipped SDKs, CLIs, APIs, or platform surfaces with your own hands.
  • Genuine taste for developer experience across both local (CLI) and UI—you've made something complex feel simple, and can point to where.
  • Strong opinions on CLI, API-first, and agent-first design—you treat the coding agent as a first-class user, not a feature.
  • Technical enough to earn engineers' trust and reason about what's under the hood—because you've been under it.
  • A rigorous researcher who lets customer reality drive the call and a relentless shipper.

Bonus: Experience with ML infrastructure, developer tools, or API products; you've deployed and served models yourself.

Not a Fit If

  • You don't like getting technical.
  • You prefer only strategy, UX, or writing great docs over doing whatever it takes to ship great products for customers.
  • You want a mature design system and established patterns to work within, rather than defining them from scratch.
  • You’re not obsessed with improving your product craft with AI.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity.
  • 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents.
  • Flexible PTO policy including company-wide Winter Break (offices closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day).
  • Paid parental leave.
  • Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot.
  • Company-facilitated 401(k).
  • Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.

Pay

Compensation range: $165K - $330K.
