Full Job Description
REQUIREMENTS:

Product Positioning & Technical Narrative
  • Own the positioning and messaging for Baseten's dedicated inference and platform capabilities, including autoscaling, routing, failover, release safety, observability, and cost/performance capabilities.
  • Translate infrastructure-heavy product work into buyer narratives for ML engineering, platform engineering, security, compliance, procurement, and executive audiences.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to understand the technical architecture, customer value, roadmap tradeoffs, and proof points behind each capability.
  • Define when a capability should be positioned as a platform differentiator, a dedicated inference requirement, a reliability story, a compliance story, or sales enablement.
  • Build messaging that is technically credible without being overly implementation-focused or generic.

Launch Strategy & GTM Execution
  • Build and execute launch plans for major dedicated inference and serving platform capabilities, from early internal enablement through external announcement.
  • Decide what deserves a full launch versus what should ship through docs, sales enablement, customer-specific materials, or targeted enterprise outreach.
  • Create launch assets including messaging briefs, landing pages, blog posts, sales decks, one-pagers, FAQs, demo storylines, competitive talk tracks, and customer-facing proof points.
  • Sequence launches and supporting assets based on customer demand, product readiness, sales need, and market opportunity.
  • Partner with Demand Gen, Sales, Solutions, and Customer Marketing to turn product capabilities into pipeline-generating campaigns and enterprise deal support.

Market, Customer & Competitive Intelligence
  • Build a deep understanding of how AI-native companies and enterprises run production inference today, where their current infrastructure breaks, and what they need as workloads scale.
  • Turn ambiguous customer and market signals into clear recommendations for Product, Sales, and Marketing.
  • Develop competitive messaging against inference providers, cloud platforms, and internal DIY alternatives

Cross-Functional Partnership
  • Partner with Engineering to ensure technical claims are accurate, defensible, and supported by real product behavior.
  • Work with Sales and Solutions teams to understand deal blockers, buyer objections, and enablement gaps.
  • Collaborate with Demand Gen and Customer Marketing to build campaigns, customer stories, and field programs

REQUIREMENTS:
  • 6+ years in product marketing, technical marketing, developer marketing, or a related GTM role, ideally at an infrastructure, developer tools, cloud, data, or AI company.
  • Strong technical fluency and the ability to quickly ramp on infrastructure concepts like autoscaling, routing, failover, capacity, observability, deployment models, and performance optimization.
  • Experience translating complex technical products into clear, differentiated positioning for both technical practitioners and enterprise decision-makers.
  • Track record building launch strategies and GTM plans for platform products, infrastructure products, or technical capabilities with long enterprise sales cycles.
  • Excellent storytelling skills, with the ability to make technical infrastructure feel concrete, credible, and commercially urgent.

NICE TO HAVE:
  • Experience with AI/ML infrastructure, inference, model serving, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, observability, DevOps, or distributed systems.
  • Experience marketing products to ML engineers, platform engineers, infrastructure leaders, security/compliance teams, or technical executives.
  • Experience building competitive positioning against cloud providers, inference providers, model API companies, or internal platforms.


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!)

  • (U.S. only) Company-facilitated 401(k)
  • Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.
