About the role
- Own the developer-facing narrative for the model library: guides, tutorials, demos, and reference content that help developers choose the right model for the job.
- Build and nurture both sides of the model ecosystem
- Develop evaluation frameworks and use-case-specific criteria that go beyond benchmark scores to reflect real-world developer needs.
- Create community programs, events, and education initiatives that establish Baseten as the destination for model discovery and selection.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and marketing to translate developer feedback into product improvements.
- Represent Baseten externally at conferences, meetups, and community events.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience as a developer — you can write code, read a diff, and engage credibly with engineers about technical tradeoffs.
- Proven track record in developer relations, developer education, or technical content at a developer tools or infrastructure company.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; you can explain complex technical concepts clearly to a range of audiences.
- Experience building or contributing to developer communities, ecosystems, or open source projects.
- Genuine curiosity about the AI/ML model landscape — you follow model releases, understand capability tradeoffs, and care about practical applications over hype.
- Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward ownership; this is a new initiative and you'll help define what success looks like.
Benefits

- 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents
- Generous PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!)
