ROLE

We're looking for a high-performing strategic finance professional to join our growing GTM Finance team. Our business grows with our customers' usage, which makes the finance function highly strategic at Baseten: growth, pricing, margin, and capacity decisions are business model decisions. You'll sit at the center of them, partnering directly with GTM leadership and reporting into a finance team with a seat at the table for the calls that shape the company's trajectory.

This role is ideal for someone with 3 to 7 years of experience across strategic finance, investing, and/or investment banking who wants broad exposure to company-building inside a fast-scaling AI infrastructure company. Experience at a usage-based software company is a plus.

RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Own financial planning, forecasting, and budgeting processes for the GTM org
  • Build and maintain financial models across revenue, S&M spend, headcount, and strategic bets
  • Analyze the metrics that define a usage-based business - ARR, gross margin, consumption trends, retention, and GTM efficiency
  • Partner with GTM leaders to set targets, evaluate growth initiatives, shape pricing, and design sales compensation
  • Help prepare board materials, investor updates, and fundraising analyses
  • Improve financial reporting, dashboards, and operational rigor so our infrastructure scales as fast as our revenue
  • Work cross-functionally to turn ambiguous business questions into actionable insights

REQUIREMENTS
  • 3 to 7 years of experience in strategic finance at a high-growth company, PE/VC investing, and/or investment banking
  • Excellent financial modeling and analytical skills
  • Ability to synthesize complex information into clear recommendations for executives
  • Comfortable operating as a generalist in a fast-moving environment
  • Strong attention to detail with a bias toward ownership and execution
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills
  • High intellectual curiosity and interest in AI / infrastructure / developer tooling
  • Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills; familiarity with SQL or BI tools is a plus

BONUS
  • Experience in sales finance and/or sales compensation
  • Experience in AI/ML, cloud infrastructure, or SaaS
  • Familiarity with usage-based business models


BENEFITS
  • Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity.
  • 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
  • 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.
