Baseten은 고객의 AI 모델 학습을 지원할 Forward Deployed Engineer를 채용합니다. Python을 활용한 프로덕션 환경의 시스템 개발 및 유지보수를 담당합니다. RL(강화학습) 및 SFT(지도 미세 조정) 경험이 필수입니다. 고객과 직접 소통하며 모델 학습 파이프라인을 설계하고 배포하는 역할을 수행합니다. 빠르게 성장하는 환경에서 기술적 문제 해결과 제품 설계를 주도할 분을 찾습니다.
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.
As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Baseten, you will partner directly with customers to architect, build, and deploy high-scale post-training solutions on Baseten’s platform. You’ll own the journey with customers from initial exploration to production deployment, translating ambiguous business goals into performant fine-tuning pipelines.
This role is a great fit for entrepreneurial engineers who want a front-row view into how modern companies adopt post-training at scale. You’ll work across product, software development, research, and customer teams to deliver performant and observable post-training pipelines.
To be clear, this is a technical, hands-on role focused on software development, architecture design, and experiment design, with aspects of product management, technical customer success, and pre-sales solution engineering mixed in.
Take a look at what we’ve built so far:
Develop and maintain software systems and product features using Python in a production-level environment.
Drive customer impact by designing, implementing, and deploying Baseten solutions end-to-end: problem framing, evaluations, post-training approach and experiment design, experimentation, quantization, and production deployment. This involves working with customers’ engineering teams at every stage of the customer journey, including sales, implementation, and expansion.
Deliver with velocity: turn vague objectives into clear specs and well-defined PoCs so we can rapidly ship well-tested services and outcomes for our customers.
Optimize and enhance our post-training solutions, contributing to the continuous improvement of our technical stack. This includes developing features and PRDs with engineering and product teams.
Own products and customer projects end-to-end, functioning as an engineer, project manager, and product manager, with a focus on user empathy, project specification, and end-to-end execution.
Navigate ambiguity and exercise good judgment on the tradeoffs and tools needed to solve problems, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
Demonstrate pride, ownership, and accountability for your work, and expect the same from your teammates.
Experience working with RL and SFT for large language models.
Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
2+ years of professional work experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
Python proficiency.
Strong communication skills, particularly on complex technical topics.
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.
Apply now to embark on a rewarding journey in shaping the future of AI! If you are a motivated individual with a passion for machine learning and a desire to be part of a collaborative and forward-thinking team, we would love to hear from you.
