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.\nPRODUCT AT BASETEN\nBaseten is building a new cloud for AI. Our ambition is to make inference, training, and agent execution part of one coherent platform, and to shape how the next generation of AI products gets built. Product decisions here reach from the economics of GPU infrastructure to the abstractions developers build on every day.\nWe’re hiring builders and tastemakers with the ambition to help create that future. You should bring a strong point of view about what should exist, the taste to make complex technology feel simple, and the technical judgment to build it alongside engineers, researchers, and designers. You’ll work directly with customers and forward deployed teams, turn emerging capabilities into new possibilities for developers, and carry an idea from early conviction through to production and adoption.\nTHE ROLE\nMake AI inference faster, smarter, and more efficient at scale.\nMaking AI models faster and cheaper is one of the most important engineering challenges in the industry. But a faster runtime alone isn't enough. Customers need to understand what improved, whether it works for their models, and how to take advantage of it in production.\nWe're looking for a deeply technical Product Manager to work alongside our inference engineers and researchers, turning advances in model serving and performance into capabilities customers can confidently adopt.\nYou'll help bridge the gap between cutting-edge systems engineering and real-world production workloads.\nRESPONSIBILITIES\nWork with inference engineering and research teams to bring new performance capabilities to customers.\n\nTranslate advances in batching, caching, quantization, speculative decoding, and serving architectures into useful product features.\n\nDefine benchmarks and evaluations that demonstrate meaningful improvements in latency, throughput, quality, and cost.\n\nUnderstand customer workloads and help prioritize the optimizations that will have the greatest impact.\n\nMake performance features easier to configure, evaluate, and adopt in production.\n\nHelp customers understand tradeoffs across hardware, model configurations, autoscaling, and routing.\n\nPartner with engineering on release readiness, compatibility, and regression testing so customers can trust new capabilities.\n\nREQUIREMENTS\nExperience building and shipping AI/ML products or infrastructure, particularly where performance, scalability, or production behavior mattered.\n\nA technical background in software engineering, ML engineering, research, or equivalent hands-on experience.\n\nStrong understanding of model serving architectures, GPU economics, and latency, throughput, quality, and cost tradeoffs.\n\nExperience working closely with researchers or infrastructure engineers to bring technically complex capabilities into production.\n\nA rigorous approach to benchmarking, experimentation, and performance measurement.\n\nStrong product judgment and the ability to translate deep technical work into clear customer value.\n\nNICE TO HAVE\nHands-on experience with PyTorch, vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, SGLang, NVIDIA Dynamo, or similar technologies.\n\nExperience with open-source inference projects, model optimization, or ML systems research.\n\nWHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE\nCustomers can take advantage of Baseten's latest inference optimizations without becoming experts in the underlying runtime. Performance improvements translate into measurable gains in speed, reliability, and cost for real production workloads.\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.
