ABOUT BASETEN

Baseten powers mission‑critical inference for the world’s most dynamic AI companies, like Cursor, Notion, OpenEvidence, Abridge, Clay, Gamma and Writer. 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 to ship AI products.

THE ROLE

As a Software Engineer at Baseten, you will own one of the most critical surfaces of our business: pricing, billing, and revenue infrastructure. As we launch more and more products—billing is no longer just operational plumbing. It is a strategic lever for growth. This role will establish clear ownership of billing as a function and create leverage for Finance, Sales, and GTM teams while maintaining a seamless customer experience.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own Baseten’s end‑to‑end billing and revenue infrastructure, including pricing, invoicing, metering, and reporting foundations.
• Build and evolve our billing platform and integrations (including Orb), ensuring correctness, auditability, and a high‑trust experience for customers and internal teams.
• Partner closely with Finance, Sales, GTM, and Forward Deployed Engineering to turn real‑world workflows into reliable internal tooling and automation (quoting, approvals, renewals, usage reconciliation, revenue reporting).
• Design systems that scale with new products, packaging, and go‑to‑market motions, making billing a strategic lever for growth.
• Drive reliability and operational excellence for revenue‑critical workflows: monitoring, alerting, incident response, backfills, and clear runbooks.
• Lead from the front on high‑impact projects: clarify requirements, propose crisp technical approaches, ship iteratively, and raise the bar on quality and velocity.
• Debug and resolve production issues with urgency, communicating clearly with stakeholders and closing the loop with durable fixes.

REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science or related field
• Experience with billing systems or building internal tools
• Deep knowledge of the web stack & databases
• Strong collaboration and communication skills

BENEFITS

• Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity.
• 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents
• Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Day)
• Paid parental leave
• Fertility and family‑building stipend through Carrot
• Company‑facilitated 401(k)
• Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.
