Job summary

Baseten is seeking a Software Engineer for the Internal Tooling team to own the Capacity product end to end, collaborating with Capacity, Sales, and SRE to translate requirements into elegant, scalable solutions. You’ll build UI surfaces, APIs, and backend services to streamline the capacity lifecycle.

You will identify bottlenecks, automate manual steps, and ensure observability so issues surface before incidents.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related field.
• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent owning a product or internal platform end to end.
• Strong full-stack proficiency; experience with NextJS, Javascript, Postgres / Drizzle, Tailwind and AWS. Experience with SST.dev is a plus but not a requirement
• Demonstrated ability to work directly with non-engineering stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into product decisions
• Experience building internal tooling, operational platforms, or developer infrastructure — particularly in high-growth or infra-heavy environments
• High ownership mindset: you notice what is broken, you fix it, and you follow through
• Interest in AI/ML infrastructure; familiarity with GPU infrastructure, or capacity planning is a meaningful plus

Responsibilities

• Own the Capacity product end to end: scoping, design, implementation, and iteration based on feedback from internal stakeholders
• Translate complex operational requirements from Capacity, Sales, and SRE teams into clean, ergonomic product experiences
• Build and maintain full-stack features across the Capacity toolchain, including UI surfaces, APIs, and backend services
• Identify workflow bottlenecks and manual processes across the capacity lifecycle and drive their elimination through tooling
• Instrument your work with observability and monitoring so issues surface before they become incidents
• Partner with SRE and Infra teams to ensure Capacity reflects the operational reality of the fleet, not just the desired state
