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. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to ship AI products.\nTHE ROLE\nAs the Engineering Manager for Baseten's Cloud Platform team, you will directly manage a team of cloud platform engineers responsible for building the systems and processes that keep our infrastructure scalable, reliable, and efficient - from automated deployments and monitoring to performance optimization and incident response.\nYou are a people-first leader with a strong cloud infrastructure background. You set a high bar for reliability and operational excellence, engage credibly in technical discussions and code reviews, and know how to build a culture of ownership and accountability. You'll spend most of your time close to the work: unblocking your team, shaping technical direction on day-to-day decisions, and developing your engineers. At Baseten, we work closely with our users to understand their struggles operationalizing ML - you'll keep your team connected to that mission and translate user learnings into better infrastructure.\nRESPONSIBILITIES\nRecruit, hire, and grow a high-performing team of cloud platform engineers; provide ongoing coaching, feedback, and career development through regular 1:1s.\n\nSet clear performance expectations, hold a high bar, and create an environment where engineers do their best work.\n\nFoster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.\n\nDrive day-to-day technical decisions through design reviews, code reviews, and architectural discussions; translate the infrastructure roadmap into clear team priorities and milestones, and hold execution against them.\n\nEstablish standards and best practices for reliability, performance, and operational excellence; ensure the team owns projects end-to-end, from specification through production.\n\nExercise and encourage good judgment on tooling and architectural tradeoffs, with a bias against unnecessary complexity.\n\nPartner with product and engineering teams to align infrastructure work with business priorities; represent your team's progress, capacity, and technical tradeoffs clearly to leadership.\n\nServe as the escalation point for major incidents; drive resolution with urgency, ensure the team learns systematically, and stay connected to users so those learnings feed back into infrastructure improvements.\n\nREQUIREMENTS\nProven experience directly managing engineers in a cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or SRE context (not managing managers).\n\nExtensive hands-on experience with Kubernetes, with the ability to engage credibly in architectural discussions and code reviews.\n\nStrong background building and maintaining scalable, production infrastructure.\n\nFamiliarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi) and CI/CD tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins).\n\nDemonstrated ability to drive projects end-to-end - from specification to execution - and coach your team to do the same.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication skills; able to influence across teams without direct authority.\n\nTrack record of recruiting and growing engineering talent.\n\nOpenness to learning about ML infrastructure; prior machine learning experience is not required.\n\nNICE TO HAVE\nExperience with OSS observability tooling (Prometheus, ELK stack, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).\n\nBackground in multi-cloud environments or GPU infrastructure.\n\nExperience building and managing on-call rotations and incident response processes.\n\nBENEFITS\nCompetitive compensation, including meaningful equity\n\n(U.S. only) 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents\n\nFlexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!)\n\nPaid parental leave\n\nFertility and family-building stipend through Carrot\n\n(U.S. only) Company-facilitated 401(k)\n\nExposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.\n\nApply now to embark on a rewarding journey in shaping the future of AI! 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.\nAt Baseten, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.
