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\nWe're hiring a Product Data Scientist to set up how Baseten uses data to make product decisions. Product is a new function at Baseten, and you'll be one of the people who defines it. You'll work directly with our founders, Product, and Engineering, and alongside GTM, to decide what we measure, how we run experiments, and how the results shape strategy.\nThis is a foundational, hands-on role. You'll define what success looks like on a technical, usage-based platform, and you'll turn open-ended questions into analyses, forecasts, and experiments. You'll work with everything from clickstream and product events to inference telemetry and observability data, helping Baseten make faster calls on reliability, performance, adoption, and developer experience.\nEXAMPLE INITIATIVES\nTake a look at these blog posts that show the kinds of systems and data you'll work with:\nHow leading platforms ensure observability for LLM inference\n\nHow the Baseten Delivery Network (BDN) makes cold starts fast\n\nHow we built RBAC that scales for the enterprise\n\nRESPONSIBILITIES\nPartner with Product and Engineering to frame the questions that matter, define success criteria, and turn analysis into roadmap, launch, and prioritization decisions.\n\nDefine product success metrics across activation, adoption, retention, expansion, reliability, and user experience.\n\nDesign measurement plans for launches, analyze A/B experiments and controlled rollouts, and turn the results into product decisions.\n\nMap the enterprise customer journey and measure feature adoption at each stage.\n\nEvaluate releases and recovery by measuring traffic shifts, analyzing warm-up, drain, probe, and rollback behavior, and tracking MTTR and self-serve incident outcomes.\n\nAnalyze customer and cohort behavior and share clear recommendations.\n\nBuild source-of-truth reporting and self-serve tools that teams across Baseten can rely on.\n\nREQUIREMENTS\n5+ years of experience in product data science, product analytics, or another quantitative role, ideally supporting developer platforms, APIs, or B2B products.\n\nDeep SQL and Python fluency, with a track record of analyzing large event-level datasets and producing decision-ready work.\n\nStrong statistical judgment and hands-on experimentation experience, including test design, power analysis, and knowing when directional evidence is enough to act on.\n\nHands-on forecasting experience with ARIMA, Prophet, or comparable time-series methods, including disciplined backtesting, error analysis, and scenario planning.\n\nExperience designing medallion data architectures, including raw, conformed, and business-ready models with testing, documentation, and lineage.\n\nFamiliarity with dbt, semantic layers, data ontology, and BI tools such as Sigma or Hex.\n\nNICE TO HAVE\nExperience with AI/ML infrastructure, model serving, GPU systems, or observability for distributed systems.\n\nExperience with usage-based pricing, APIs, platform unit economics, capacity planning, or enterprise product analytics.\n\nExperience with model-serving frameworks and inference engines such as vLLM, SGLang, and Dynamo.\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.
