Forward Deployed Engineer (Training)

Forward Deployed Engineers work directly with the largest and fastest-growing AI companies in the world, owning their technical outcomes on Baseten and taking on the hardest problems in serving and improving models at scale. The work spans the model lifecycle: inference, post-training, and the systems that tighten the loop between them.

• Act as each account's de facto CTO on Baseten, with final accountability for how their workloads are designed, run, and scaled.
• Take customer objectives from vague to shipped: frame the problem, define the spec and success criteria, build the PoC, and carry it through to production quickly, using the right tools for the problem.
• Design the evals and benchmarks that isolate where quality or performance falls short, then close the gap yourself, whether that means optimizing inference, improving the model through post-training, or reworking the eval itself.
• Be the first responder to mission-critical failures including triage, owning the fix directly or route to the owning team and stay accountable until it ships.
