About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Getting a model into production still takes real expertise — choosing a serving engine, sizing hardware, tuning it, wiring it into an app. We want a developer to go from "it runs on my laptop" to "it's serving production traffic" in minutes, on their own. You'll own the entire experience a developer touches to deploy and iterate: the CLI and SDKs, the console, onboarding, model discovery, deployment configuration, truss, and the increasingly agent-driven ways developers build. Your job is to make Baseten synonymous with Great DevEx and make it effortless to drive and self-serve deploy models on Baseten for far more developers than it is today.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You’ve built dev tools as an engineer before you became a PM. You've shipped SDKs, CLIs, APIs, or platform surfaces with your own hands.
You take great pride in dev tooling and dev products that you’ve shipped with proof
5+ years building developer-facing or technical products
as a product manager, or as a product-minded engineer.
Genuine taste for developer experience across both local (CLI) and UI
you've made something complex feel simple, and can point to where.
Strong opinions on CLI, API first and agent-first design
you treat the coding agent as a first-class user, not a feature.
Technical enough to earn engineers' trust and reason about what's under the hood — because you've been under it.
A rigorous researcher who lets customer reality drive the call and a relentless shipper.
