THE ROLE
As a Software Engineer at Baseten, you will own one of the most critical surfaces of our business: pricing, billing, and revenue infrastructure.

As we launch more and more products— billing is no longer just operational plumbing. It is a strategic lever for growth. This role will establish clear ownership of billing as a function and create leverage for Finance, Sales, and GTM teams while maintaining a seamless customer experience.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Build and evolve our billing platform and integrations (including Orb), ensuring correctness, auditability, and a high-trust experience for customers and internal teams.

  • Partner closely with Finance, Sales, GTM, and Forward Deployed Engineering to turn real-world workflows into reliable internal tooling and automation (quoting, approvals, renewals, usage reconciliation, revenue reporting).

  • Design systems that scale with new products, packaging, and go-to-market motions, making billing a strategic lever for growth.

  • Drive reliability and operational excellence for revenue-critical workflows: monitoring, alerting, incident response, backfills, and clear runbooks.

  • Lead from the front on high-impact projects: clarify requirements, propose crisp technical approaches, ship iteratively, and raise the bar on quality and velocity.

  • Debug and resolve production issues with urgency, communicating clearly with stakeholders and closing the loop with durable fixes.


REQUIREMENTS

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or related field

  • Experience with billing systems or building internal tools

  • Deep knowledge of the web stack & databases

  • Strong collaboration and communication skills

BENEFITS

  • Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity

  • 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.
