We're growing quickly and recently raised our $1.5B Series F, led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to ship AI products.

THE ROLE
As a Global Capacity Manager at Baseten, you will lead the "engine room" of the company, architecting, securing, and optimizing the global GPU fleet that powers our customers' AI workloads. You’ll own the end-to-end journey of capacity management, from securing multi-million dollar GPU clusters to building the automation that ensures 99.9% uptime across multi-cloud environments.

This role is a great fit for entrepreneurial engineers who want to bridge the gap between high-finance asset management and deep infrastructure engineering. You will act as the fleet orchestrator for the world's most advanced chips, ensuring Baseten never experiences a capacity outage while maintaining elite unit economics.

To be clear, this is a high-stakes engineering role. You will be hands-on with Kubernetes
orchestration while also leading specialized pods focused on the next generation of hardware, like NVIDIA’s Blackwell (B200) architecture.

EXAMPLE INITIATIVES

• The B200 Frontier: Architecting the infrastructure readiness and deployment strategy
  for Baseten's first Blackwell GPU clusters.
  Global Workload Orchestration: Building "Multi-cloud Capacity Management" systems
  to move customer workloads seamlessly across regions to optimize cost and latency.

• Precision GPU Triage: Developing automated Go-based operators to identify, cordon,
  and repair unhealthy H100 nodes in under an hour.

• The Supply Chain of Intelligence: Partnering with leadership to secure and reserve
  dedicated capacity for Baseten’s largest enterprise customers.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead Specialized Pods: Act as the lead for specific GPU pods (e.g., H100 or B200),
  managing the full lifecycle of acquisition, air traffic control, and maintenance for those
  assets.

• Advanced Orchestration: Execute complex workload migrations and "sticky" deployment drains, ensuring deployment scheduling rules meet strict regional and compliance requirements.
