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.

- 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
