Job summary

Baseten is hiring Platform engineers to own the deployment platform, release pipelines, and rollout safety across multiple Kubernetes clusters and regions. You will build scalable CI/CD infrastructure, implement canary and progressive delivery, and reduce friction in the release process.

You’ll emphasize GitOps practices with ArgoCD/Flux, safe rollouts, and autonomous deployment workflows, while collaborating with product and infra teams to keep services observable and resilient.

Qualifications

• Strong-level proficiency in Go and/or Python.
• Experience with Kubernetes-based deployment systems at scale.
• Experience building or operating continuous deployment platforms.
• Familiar with GitOps tooling such as ArgoCD or Flux.
• Care deeply about safe production rollouts and minimizing blast radius.
• Excellent developer tool culture with best practices; open-source tools nice to have.
• Autonomous and capable of tackling high-impact technical challenges.

Responsibilities

• 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.
