Software Engineer

Who you are

• Strong-level proficiency in Go and/or Python
• Have worked with Kubernetes-based deployment systems at scale
• Have experience building or operating continuous deployment platforms
• Are familiar with GitOps tooling such as ArgoCD or Flux
• Care deeply about safe production rollouts and minimizing blast radius
• Excellent developer tool culture with a focus on best practices. Bonus points if you have personally developed open-source developer tools
• Are excited about building foundational infrastructure and are comfortable working independently on ambiguous, high-impact technical challenges

What the job involves

• Baseten is seeking talented and experienced Software Engineers to join our Platform team within the Infrastructure organization
• As an early member of Baseten's Platform Team, you will be pivotal in building internal infrastructure to support our engineering organization
• You will own the deployment platform, release pipelines, and rollout safety mechanisms that allow engineers across Baseten to deploy changes rapidly while minimizing operational risk
• Our mission is to make production deployments fast, safe, and increasingly autonomous
• If you are passionate about elegant solutions—like streamlined monorepos, lightning-fast CI pipelines, and thoughtfully designed shared libraries—you'll thrive at Baseten
• Design and build continuous deployment infrastructure that safely rolls out changes across dozens of Kubernetes clusters and global regions
• Develop systems for progressive delivery, including canary releases, staged rollouts, and automated rollback
• Improve engineering velocity by reducing friction in the release pipeline and automating manual operational workflows
• Work with product and infrastructure teams to ensure their services are deployable, observable, and resilient at scale
• Implement and evolve deployment methodologies such as GitOps, infrastructure-as-code, and progressive delivery patterns
• Build systems that automatically evaluate deployment health using metrics, logs, traces, and alerts to detect regressions and trigger safe rollbacks
• Interest in building systems that support agent-assisted or autonomous deployment workflows using modern AI tooling

Benefits

• Remote-first work environment. The Baseten team is welcome to work from wherever they want; fully remote, in our San Francisco office, or a mix of both. Today, our team (including our founding team) is spread across the United States, Canada, and Armenia. We provide a $1,000 stipend for you to make your home-office comfortable and productive
• Regular in-person team summits. We get together as a team three times a year to plan, workshop, and most importantly, get to know each other better
• Unlimited PTO. We ask that everyone take at least 4 weeks of vacation. And we have a company-wide break between Christmas and New Year's Day
• Full healthcare coverage. Medical, dental and vision insurance for you and your family
• Paid parental leave. 16-weeks fully paid parental leave (adoptive and non-birth parents included) and flexibility with schedules while returning to work
• Company-sponsored 401(k) for you to contribute to
• Learning and development budget. We encourage you to take classes, attend conferences, and invest in your craft and we’ll cover expenses to make it happen
