Baseten

Software Engineer

• Baseten’s Inference Stack team builds the distributed runtime that powers large-scale LLM inference across our platform. We operate at the intersection of distributed systems, model performance, infrastructure, and developer experience. We enable customers to deploy and operate cutting-edge LLM models with industry-leading performance, scalability, reliability, and ease of use.
• As a Software Engineer on the Inference Stack team, you’ll work across the stack
• from the developer experience customers use to deploy models, the libraries used for features like tool calling and reasoning, all the way down to the systems we use to orchestrate deployments in Kubernetes and route traffic efficiently.
• This is an ideal role for engineers who enjoy owning systems in production, solving hard integration problems, and making complex infrastructure simple and reliable for users.
• Develop infrastructure and orchestration systems for deploying and managing large-scale distributed LLM inference
• Work across the stack, from customer-facing features to low-level infrastructure components
• Build platform capabilities related to routing, autoscaling, scheduling, observability, and runtime management
• Improve the reliability, scalability, and usability of our inference stack
• Collaborate closely with Model Performance engineers to make new inference optimizations broadly available to customers and easy to configure
• Help define best practices around testing, release automation, benchmarking, and operational excellence
