  • Partner with Baseten's forward-deployed engineers to run technical evaluations, POCs, and architecture reviews that earn customer confidence
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Legal, and Marketing to bring new solutions to market, develop sales collateral, and refine go-to-market tactics for industry verticals
  • Continuously share learnings with the broader team-what's working, what's blocking deals, and best practices for selling into complex organizations

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
  • 8+ years of enterprise B2B sales experience in technology, preferably selling infrastructure, API/platform solutions, or developer tooling into large, complex organizations

  • Strong technical acumen - you have experience ramping into highly technical sales environments, and will be able to get comfortable holding your own in conversations about model serving, GPU infra, latency and API architecture.
  • A strategic, analytical approach to assessing markets combined with creative, tactical execution to capture opportunities
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trusted relationships from ICs to C-level executives
  • A roll-up-your-sleeves mentality and comfort with high autonomy in a fast-moving environment where the playbook is still being written
