THE ROLE

We are looking for an IT Support / Operations Engineer to join Baseten

as we continue to scale our IT team. In this role, you will play a critical part in

bringing our technical support entirely in-house to provide a seamless, high-touch

experience for all Baseten employees.

As we continue to scale, you will be the primary point of contact for day-to-day

technical issues, allowing you to have a direct impact on our team's productivity

and overall office environment. This position is ideal for a hands-on problem

solver who enjoys a mix of hardware and software troubleshooting, user lifecycle

management, and maintaining the physical IT infrastructure of a modern office.

While you will focus heavily on elevating our internal support standards, you will

also assist with systems administration and workflow automation as our company

evolves. This is a hybrid role based out of our San Francisco or New York office, following our

standard policy of three days per week in-person to ensure our physical office

and AV systems remain high-performing and reliable.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Serve as the escalation point for day-to-day technical support, diagnosing and

resolving hardware and software issues across our Mac and Windows fleet

  • Manage user lifecycle administration including provisioning, deprovisioning,

and access management across all systems and services

  • Own the IT onboarding experience for new employees — from laptop setup

and account configuration to a smooth first-day experience

  • Maintain and continuously improve office IT infrastructure to ensure a reliable,

high-performing environment for all employees

  • Build and maintain a knowledge base of self-serve resources to reduce ticket

volume and empower users

  • Manage IT asset procurement, inventory tracking, and vendor relationships
  • Support new office buildouts and contribute to broader workplace IT planning

as we scale

  • Identify opportunities to automate workflows and eliminate inefficiencies

across IT operations

  • Adapt to the evolving needs of a fast-growing company, taking on new

challenges as they arise

  • Systems administration, including managing admin-level access, configuring

user permissions, and performing routine maintenance across cloud-based

services.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Strong working knowledge of Google Workspace, MDM platforms (e.g.

Kandji), IdM/SSO solutions (e.g. Okta), and video conferencing tools

  • Proven experience administering macOS at scale, with solid working

knowledge of Windows environments

  • Hands-on experience with automation tools and a track record of streamlining

IT processes and workflows

  • Excellent communication skills with a genuine passion for delivering great

support experiences

  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a

fast-paced, ambiguous environment

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.
