Content Engineer at Baseten building technical content and SEO/AEO strategies for AI inference platform. Role combines technical writing, GTM automation, and agentic AI workflows to reach developer audiences.
ABOUT BASETEN
Baseten powers mission-critical inference for the world's most dynamic AI companies, like Cursor, Notion, OpenEvidence, Abridge, Clay, Gamma and Writer. By uniting applied AI research, flexible infrastructure, and seamless developer tooling, we enable companies operating at the frontier of AI to bring cutting-edge models into production. We're growing quickly and recently raised our $300M Series E, backed by investors including BOND, IVP, Spark Capital, Greylock, and Conviction. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to to ship AI products.
THE ROLE
This is a 3-month contract-to-hire position, with the expectation of converting to full-time for the right candidate.
You’ll join a small team in Baseten spearheading how we show up natively in the AI era. You’ll contribute to our content strategy with a focus on identifying, experimenting, and executing written content in the highest leverage channels that can reach the strongest intent users.
This position will directly shape how we show up and present ourselves in front of developers with high intent of using open source and custom models.
This isn’t a traditional content or writing role. You’ll operate iteratively at the intersection of growth, product marketing, and community building. Ultimately, you’ll be creating and running the pipeline for generating high viewership content on external sites and define our playbook of how we approach discoverability in AI engines.
When applying, please submit a favorite piece of your own writing that is relevant to your work experience. This could be a blog post, technical tutorial, or related content. Your application will not be considered otherwise.
RESPONSIBILITIES
This is a primarily technical writing position—shipping new, unique, and high visibility content consistently will be the majority of your time.
Design and create automated research and content production workflows using agentic AI tools, reducing time-to-publish without sacrificing quality.
Find credible sites and information aggregators for our content to cast a wider net on distribution.
Identify topics that the Baseten ICP cares about via external and internal data.
Create data-informed long form content to solidify our authority in the inference space.
Codify latest SEO and AEO techniques and build automated pipelines to orient and optimize content.
REQUIREMENTS
Hands-on experience as a developer — at least one of Python, Javascript, SQL.
Experience or interest in working with GTM automation tools like Retool, Zapier, n8n, AirOps, etc.
Strong written and verbal communication skills; you can explain complex technical concepts in an interesting and compelling way.
You have strong thesis and POV on the topics that AI/ML engineers are curious about, and can credibly communicate tradeoffs within our stack.
Comfort with ambiguity and an extreme bias toward ownership.
Have an experimental and data-driven mindset; you set clear outcomes and iterate quickly based on a mix of signals and intuition.
You move fast, ship content, and iterate based on what you learn.
NICE TO HAVE
Experience with AI/ML infrastructure, inference platforms, or LLM tooling.
Background supporting open source developer tooling.
Prior work tinkering or experimenting with a range of open source frontier models.
Likes keeping up to date with the latest trends and news in AI to help us identify critical opportunities to impact the wider industry conversation.
Understanding of SEO/AEO best practices
Familiarity with using generative AI for topic research or content production
