# Product Manager, Developer Experience

**Company:** [Baseten](https://hotfix.jobs/companies/baseten)
**Location:** San Francisco, CA
**Role:** Product Management
**Salary:** $165k – $330k/yr
**Experience:** 5+ years
**Skills:** SDKs, Clis, APIs, Developer Experience, ML Infrastructure, Api Products, Agent-First Design, Cli Design, Ui/Ux, Model Deployment
**Posted:** 2026-06-10

> Own the full developer journey from sign-up to production deployment for an AI inference platform. Drive CLI, SDKs, console, onboarding, and deployment lifecycle to make model shipping effortless.

## Job Description

## What you'll own
- End-to-end journey from first sign-up to a running, maintained production deployment
- CLI and SDKs as the primary way developers and their AI agents build on Baseten
- Authoring surfaces (CLI, console, truss, config.yml / model.py / chains.py) converged into one coherent path
- First-run experience — onboarding, model discovery and deploy via the Model Library, and a first deploy where errors surface and builds show progress
- Deployment lifecycle and safe releases — environment promotion (dev → staging → prod), version history and an artifact/model registry, reproducible deployments, and the progressive-delivery controls developers set and read: canary, shadow, A/B, scheduled promotion, and one-gesture rollback
- Multi-model composition (Chains) and evolving the DevEx for developers building multi-modal agents and applications
- Voice of the Developer — live in customer conversations and turn deploy-and-operate friction into roadmap

## What we're looking for
- You've built dev tools as an engineer before you became a PM. You've shipped SDKs, CLIs, APIs, or platform surfaces with your own hands
- 5+ years building developer-facing or technical products - as a product manager, or as a product-minded engineer
- Genuine taste for developer experience across both local (CLI) and UI - you've made something complex feel simple, and can point to where
- Strong opinions on CLI, API first and agent-first design - you treat the coding agent as a first-class user, not a feature
- Technical enough to earn engineers' trust and reason about what's under the hood — because you've been under it
- A rigorous researcher who lets customer reality drive the call and a relentless shipper

## Bonus
- Experience with ML infrastructure, developer tools, or API products
- You've deployed and served models yourself

## Not for You if
- You don't like getting technical
- You prefer only strategy, UX, or writing great docs over doing whatever it takes to ship great products for customers
- You want a mature design system and established patterns to work within, rather than defining them from scratch
- You're not obsessed with improving your Product craft with AI

## 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
