Job Summary
Engineering Manager for Baseten's Cloud Platform team who will recruit, coach, and lead cloud platform engineers to build scalable, reliable infrastructure. You will drive day-to-day technical decisions through design and code reviews, set standards for reliability and operational excellence, align infrastructure work with business priorities, and serve as the escalation point for major incidents. The role emphasizes people management, architecture discussions, incident response, and collaboration with product and engineering teams to ensure end-to-end ownership of infrastructure projects.
Required Qualifications

- Extensive hands-on experience with Kubernetes, with the ability to engage credibly in architectural discussions and code reviews.
- Strong background building and maintaining scalable, production infrastructure.
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi) and CI/CD tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Jenkins).
- Demonstrated ability to drive projects end-to-end — from specification to execution — and coach your team to do the same.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to influence across teams without direct authority.
- Track record of recruiting and growing engineering talent.
- Openness to learning about ML infrastructure; prior machine learning experience is not required.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience recruiting and growing engineering talent
- Proven ability to lead and develop engineers and coach performance
- Strong cross-team communication and collaboration skills
- Experience shaping technical direction and roadmaps
