OS / K8s Systems Engineer

As an OS / K8s Systems Engineer at Baseten, you’ll build the automation and systems that turn raw GPU hardware into production-ready compute. From provisioning to orchestration, you’ll own the software layer that makes our infrastructure reproducible, scalable, and reliable across data centers. This is a senior, hands-on role focused on building systems not operating them. You’ll work close to the metal designing OS images, building provisioning pipelines, and automating cluster bring-up from sc

Experience building and operating automated infrastructure systems. Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, Go, or similar). Deep familiarity with Linux systems, including boot processes, drivers, and performance. Experience with provisioning systems (PXE, imaging, configuration management). Experience with Kubernetes. Strong debugging skills across system layers (hardware → OS → network). Experience working with GPU or high-performance workloads is a plus.
