Original job description

About Baseten

Baseten powers mission-critical inference for the world's most dynamic AI companies, like Cursor, Notion, OpenEvidence, Abridge, Clay, Gamma, and Writer. By uniting applied AI research, flexible infrastructure, and seamless developer tooling, we enable companies operating at the frontier of AI to bring cutting-edge models into production. 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

Voice is becoming the internet’s next interface, but a production-grade Voice AI system is "hard to build". You’ll join a small founding team of Baseten Voice AI, focused on bringing state-of-the-art open source models into production for Voice AI customers across productivity, customer service, clinical conversation, creator tools, education, and more. You’ll make a meaningful impact on people’s daily lives and help reshape these industries.

This is a high-impact, high-ownership role. You will be the primary owner of Baseten Voice AI - our in-house inference stack to power Voice AI models - from product roadmap through engineering implementation. You’ll partner closely with Forward Deployed Engineers, Model Performance Engineers, and sister engineering teams to push the boundaries of Voice AI.

EXAMPLE INITIATIVES

Develop world-class model serving stack for state-of-the-art open-source voice models - reduce end-to-end and tail latency (p95/p99), increase throughput, and improve GPU efficiency via profiling, runtime tuning, and server-level optimizations.
Build large-scale, real-time infrastructure for multi-model voice agents - orchestrate STT, TTS, and agent components with streaming I/O to meet customer SLOs.
Design tight training and inference iteration loops for voice model customization - enable fast evaluation, safe rollout, and rapid experimentation for custom voice model development.
Past projects:
- Baseten leads Coval’s voice AI benchmark
- How Notion achieved 2-3x lower latency with AI Meeting Notes
- Cost-efficient, high-performance TTS with Qwen3-TTS
- Fine-tuning Qwen3-TTS for high-quality voice cloning
- The fastest Whisper - with streaming and diarization
- NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Diarization: real-time speaker labels at a cent per audio hour

Responsibilities

Own and lead Voice AI product areas end-to-end - from architecture and system design through implementation, rollout, and long-term production operations.
Design, build, and operate real-time, large-scale, high-performance model serving systems for STT, TTS, and voice agent workloads for mission-critical customer deployments
Drive cross-team collaboration with sister engineering teams to solve full-stack technical problems, align on priorities, and coordinate end-to-end delivery across the product surface area
Mentor teammates through code reviews, design docs, and technical leadership.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or related field
Proven track record owning production-grade real-time, large-scale systems where tail latency (p99) matters.
Proficient coding abilities in one or more popular programming or scripting languages; Python proficiency is a plus.
Good taste in product, particularly developer-oriented tools
Interest in ML/AI infrastructure and willingness to learn
Strong collaboration and communication skills
Comfortable using AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) as a daily productivity multiplier - as an AI-native company, we see this as a must-have skill.

NICE TO HAVE

Experience implementing pipeline-level model runtime optimizations such as dynamic batching, async scheduling, or decode-side throughput improvements.
Experience building developer platforms: SDKs, CLIs, APIs, and self-serve workflows for ML or infrastructure products.
Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes), service meshes, or distributed scheduling.
Familiarity with speech/audio ML models (STT, TTS, speech-to-speech)
Familiarity with model-serving runtimes (vLLM, TensorRT, ONNX).
Familiarity with systems-level performance profiling across host-device boundaries (e.g. PyTorch Profiler), diagnosing GPU utilization issues
Exposure to customer-facing engineering: pre-sales prototyping, technical discovery, or working directly with customers to ship solutions.

Benefits

Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity
(U.S. only) 100% coverage of medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee and dependents
Flexible PTO policy including company wide Winter Break (our offices are closed from Christmas Eve to New Year's Day!)
Paid parental leave
Fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot
(U.S. only) Company-facilitated 401(k)
Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.

Apply now to embark on a rewarding journey in shaping the future of AI! If you are a motivated individual with a passion for machine learning and a desire to be part of a collaborative and forward-thinking team, we would love to hear from you.

At Baseten, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We provide equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, genetic information, disability, or veteran status.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and will consider qualified applicants with criminal histories in a manner consistent with applicable law (by example, the requirements of the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, where applicable).

Compensation Range: $165K - $330K
