Product Marketing Manager, Dedicated Inference

📍 San Francisco; New York, United States 💼 Full-time
Apply For This Role → Posted on October 28, 2026

Baseten runs the inference platform that AI companies use to put models into production at scale, serving customers like Cursor, Notion, OpenEvidence, Abridge, Clay, Gamma and Writer. The company is hiring a Product Marketing Manager for its dedicated inference offering. This is a full-time hybrid role based in San Francisco or New York.

What you will own

You will own positioning and messaging for Baseten’s dedicated inference and platform capabilities, covering autoscaling, routing, failover, release safety, observability, and cost and performance. You will turn heavy infrastructure work into narratives that land with ML engineers and platform engineers, as well as security, compliance, procurement and executive buyers.

You will work closely with Product and Engineering to understand the technical architecture, customer value, roadmap tradeoffs and proof points behind each capability. You will decide when something should be framed as a platform differentiator, a dedicated inference requirement, a reliability story, a compliance story, or sales enablement, and you will keep the messaging technically credible without drifting into implementation detail or generic claims.

Launches and go-to-market

You will build and run launch plans for major dedicated inference and serving platform capabilities, from early internal enablement through to public announcement. You will judge what deserves a full launch and what should ship through documentation, sales enablement, customer-specific materials, or targeted enterprise outreach.

You will produce the launch assets, including messaging briefs, landing pages, blog posts, sales decks, one-pagers, FAQs, demo storylines, competitive talk tracks, and customer-facing proof points. You will sequence launches and supporting assets around customer demand, product readiness, sales need, and market opportunity, working with Demand Gen, Sales, Solutions, and Customer Marketing to turn capabilities into pipeline and enterprise deal support.

Market and competitive understanding

You will build a deep understanding of how AI-native companies and enterprises run production inference today, where their current infrastructure breaks, and what they need as workloads scale. You will turn ambiguous customer and market signals into clear recommendations for Product, Sales, and Marketing, and develop competitive messaging against inference providers, cloud platforms, and in-house alternatives.

What they are looking for

  • 6 or more years in product marketing, technical marketing, developer marketing, or a related go-to-market role, ideally at an infrastructure, developer tools, cloud, data, or AI company.
  • Strong technical fluency, with the ability to ramp quickly on autoscaling, routing, failover, capacity, observability, deployment models, and performance optimization.
  • Experience turning complex technical products into clear, differentiated positioning for both technical practitioners and enterprise decision-makers.
  • A track record of building launch strategies and go-to-market plans for platform or infrastructure products with long enterprise sales cycles.
  • Excellent storytelling skills, with the ability to make technical infrastructure feel concrete, credible, and commercially urgent.

Nice to have

  • Experience with AI and ML infrastructure, inference, model serving, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, observability, DevOps, or distributed systems.
  • Experience marketing to ML engineers, platform engineers, infrastructure leaders, security and compliance teams, or technical executives.
  • Experience building competitive positioning against cloud providers, inference providers, model API companies, or internal platforms.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity.
  • Full medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents, for US staff.
  • Flexible PTO, including a company-wide winter break from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Day.
  • Paid parental leave, and a fertility and family-building stipend through Carrot.
  • Company-facilitated 401(k), for US staff.
