💼 About This Role

You'll build the automation and systems that turn raw GPU hardware into production-ready compute at Baseten, powering mission-critical inference for AI companies like Cursor and Notion. Your work will define how quickly we can turn new capacity into usable compute. This is a senior, hands-on role focused on building systems, not operating them, working close to the metal.

🎯 What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end automation of cluster bring-up and lifecycle management.
• Build and maintain OS images, provisioning systems, and configuration pipelines.
• Deploy and operate cluster orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, Slurm, or similar).
• Design systems for reproducibility across sites and hardware generations.

📋 Requirements

• Experience building and operating automated infrastructure systems.
• Strong programming skills in Python, Go, or similar.
• Deep familiarity with Linux systems, boot processes, drivers, and performance.
• Experience with provisioning systems (PXE, imaging, configuration management).

✨ Nice to Have

• Experience with Kubernetes.
• Strong debugging skills across system layers (hardware → OS → network).
• Experience working with GPU or high-performance workloads.

🎁 Benefits & Perks

• 💰 Competitive compensation including meaningful equity.
• 🩺 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents.
• 🏖️ Flexible PTO including company-wide Winter Break.
