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 ship AI products.
THE ROLE
Product at Baseten is a nascent function. Our company today has a strong engineering culture, is heavily customer-obsessed, and moves fast. We're building the product function now, and you'd be one of the people who defines it. You'll work directly with our founders and with some of the best systems and infrastructure engineers in the world, and you'll set the standard for what product looks like here. You earn trust by being technical, finding the truth in front of customers, building great cross-functional relationships, and shipping great product experiences.
The largest, most demanding Enterprises are starting to run on Baseten, and they come with a range of security, compliance, and procurement requirements. Today that readiness is assembled deal-by-deal. You'll own the enterprise-readiness surface end to end and turn it into product: the deployment options customers can choose and buy, compliance posture they can trust, access and security controls their IT teams require, and the billing and spend controls their finance teams expect. What does a complete Baseten Enterprise product offering look like?
You'll thrive here if you like getting deep in the technical details, if you see compliance, security, and billing as real product surfaces worth designing well, and if you'd rather build the product that ends one-off exceptions than negotiate them deal by deal. This role is for someone who genuinely enjoys Enterprise, and who finds satisfaction in making the hardest customers in the market successful.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Drive the enterprise readiness customer experience end to end. Partner with GTM and Enterprise Engineering to make "enterprise-ready" a platform-wide capability, so readiness becomes a supported, priced product instead of bespoke work assembled per deal.
Own product vision and roadmap. See around the curve on what regulated customers will require, including deployment models, compliance posture, identity and access, and billing and spend controls, and build ahead of the need.
Be the Enterprise customer voice. Turn deal-blocking requirements from Sales and FDE into product, so a steady stream of one-off exceptions becomes a smaller set of sellable, supported capabilities.
REQUIREMENTS
8+ years in product management, with real depth in enterprise or B2B infrastructure across security, compliance, identity, networking, or billing.
Experience shipping the enterprise readiness surface: multi-cloud and multi-region deployments, SSO/RBAC, SOC 2/HIPAA, VPC/PrivateLink, and usage-based billing, with shipped products you can point to publicly.
Credibility in the room with security, compliance, and procurement buyers, and with the engineers who build for them.
A bias toward supported, priced products over per-deal exceptions, and a clear sense of the difference between a feature and a sellable capability.
Rigorous research habits that let customer and deal reality drive the call, paired with a relentless shipping instinct.
NICE TO HAVE
ML infrastructure experience.
Experience selling into or building for regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services, or government.
BENEFITS
Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity
(U.S. only) 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
(U.S. only) Company-facilitated 401(k)
Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.

Baseten Insights
What We Do
AI’s future won’t be a few massive models built by a handful of labs. It’ll be millions of specialized models embedded into every product, workflow, and experience by the people closest to the customer. The foundation of that future is inference. Inference determines the performance, reliability, latency, and economics of every AI product. For AI to scale globally, it must be as reliable, fast, cost-effective, and high-quality as possible. That’s why Baseten exists. Companies like Abridge, Cursor, Lovable, Notion, and OpenEvidence depend on Baseten to power mission-critical AI workloads in production.
Why Work With Us
We’re an interdisciplinary team of researchers, engineers, and operators building the Inference Cloud our AI future demands. We’re running at a hard systems problem that requires first-principles thinking across the entire stack. The bar is high. We work hard, move fast, and care deeply about quality.
