About this role

Baseten is seeking an Engineering Manager for their Cloud Platform team to lead infrastructure development and scale AI systems for dynamic artificial intelligence companies. This full-time leadership opportunity is based in San Francisco with remote flexibility, perfectly suited for a people-first technical leader with a strong cloud background.

Role Overview

As the Cloud Platform Engineering Manager, the successful candidate will direct a team responsible for maintaining scalable, efficient, and reliable infrastructure, covering everything from automated deployments to incident response. The position requires staying close to daily operations, unblocking engineers, and guiding architectural choices. Leaders in this role connect team efforts directly with user experiences in operationalizing machine learning.

Key Responsibilities

Build, recruit, and mentor a top-tier group of cloud platform engineers through regular feedback and career coaching.
Establish clear performance expectations while cultivating an atmosphere defined by ownership and continuous improvement.
Guide daily architectural choices and code reviews, translating technical roadmaps into actionable execution milestones.
Define operational benchmarks for performance and reliability, overseeing projects completely from conception to production release.
Collaborate across product and engineering divisions to align technical capacity with overarching organizational goals.
Act as the primary escalation contact for major incidents, ensuring systematic resolution and post-incident learning.

Requirements

Demonstrated history of directly managing engineers within a site reliability, platform, or cloud infrastructure setting.
Deep practical knowledge of Kubernetes, allowing for active participation in code reviews and architectural planning.
Solid history of constructing and sustaining production-grade, scalable infrastructure systems.
Working knowledge of infrastructure-as-code platforms like Terraform alongside standard continuous integration pipelines.
Proven capability to drive complex initiatives from initial specifications through execution.
Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence cross-functional teams effectively.
Willingness to learn about machine learning infrastructure without requiring prior ML domain experience.

Nice to Have

Familiarity with open-source observability technologies including Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or OpenTelemetry.
Prior exposure to multi-cloud setups or specialized GPU infrastructure.
Experience in organizing incident response procedures and managing on-call schedules.
