Job summary

Baseten is hiring platform engineers to build and scale an AI-first SDLC platform. You will design the agent configuration layer, context infrastructure, and eval harnesses that enable engineers to ship AI-powered features efficiently.

You will drive adoption with excellent docs, templates, and self-serve tooling, while ensuring safety through robust permissions and audit trails. This role emphasizes building reusable platform capabilities across Baseten’s engineering teams.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience building and enabling AI native SDLC.
• Proficiency in Python and/or Go, building tools engineers depend on.
• Hands-on experience with LLMs and agent frameworks; shipped agentic tools.
• Fluent with AI coding tools and strong opinions on their limits.

• Evaluate and integrate third-party AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) and build the context layer that makes them work with our monorepo.
• Build frameworks that let other engineers create their own agents without deep LLM expertise.
• Establish the evaluation practice for AI-assisted development and drive investment decisions.
• Drive adoption through developer experience - good defaults, clear docs, low friction.
• Embed with teams to identify where AI unblocks work and generalize wins into platform capabilities.
• Own the safety layer: permissions, secrets handling, audit trails, cost management.
