Baseten's FDE roles connect customer delivery with model serving, training, capacity, and production inference systems.

Baseten's postings include Forward Deployed Engineer roles for training and general delivery, AI Inference Engineer, AI Engineer, Software Engineer–Capacity, and an Engineering Manager for Forward Deployed Engineering. The work sits close to model serving, reliability, latency, cost, and customer production workloads.

A candidate should be ready to discuss both application delivery and the operational tradeoffs of serving models. Ask which training systems and customer workloads the role owns, how production incidents are shared with platform teams, and how much time is spent with customers. The current roles are marked hybrid in San Francisco.

Confirm the in-office cadence, customer travel, and the basis of the posted range for the role. See posted FDE pay and the FDE career path.
