This builder role suits an experienced engineer passionate about developer tooling, distributed systems reliability, and high-performance AI inference infrastructure.

Role Overview

As a Software Engineer specializing in Testing Frameworks at Baseten, the focus is on the complete testing stack.

Key Responsibilities

Define end-to-end testing strategies, standards, tiers, and tooling across the engineering organization.
Create and maintain robust unit, integration, load, and performance testing frameworks.
Design test infrastructure that provisions ephemeral Kubernetes namespaces and containerized dependencies on demand.
Implement resilience and chaos testing, such as fault injection, latency simulation, and node failure scenarios.
Eliminate test flakiness, improve suite reliability, and optimize CI wall times through selective execution and parallelization.
Add observability features to the testing layer, including coverage reporting, dashboards, and failure triage tooling.
Develop project templates and shared libraries to provide comprehensive testing setups for new services instantly.
Collaborate closely with product and infrastructure teams to solve complex testing challenges and mentor peers on testing best practices.

Requirements

Proficiency in Go and/or Python, backed by practical experience building test tools and libraries.
Deep familiarity with testing framework internals, such as pytest, Go testing packages, testify, or testcontainers.
Hands-on background designing integration test environments for distributed systems.
Experience with performance and load testing tools like k6, Locust, or Vegeta.
Strong foundational knowledge of Kubernetes and Docker for cluster-based test execution.
Comprehensive understanding of scalable CI/CD pipelines and deterministic test execution.
Demonstrated ability to elevate testing culture and deliver high Return on Investment (ROI) on test strategies.
Excitement for foundational infrastructure and independent problem-solving in ambiguous domains.
