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 $1.5B Series F, 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 Compute is existential for Baseten. As AI inference infrastructure, our ability to serve customer traffic depends on a sophisticated, multi-layered compute and infrastructure supply chain. We're hiring an Assistant General Counsel, Infra & Compute to own the legal strategy and execution behind it. This role owns the inbound, supply-side deal surface: compute and infrastructure-services agreements, capacity commitments, and the contracting that keeps production online. These are early structural decisions with long-term consequences — flexibility, exit optionality, and SLA enforceability all get set here. You'll partner closely with our Commercial and other legal leads — working hand in glove and all hands on deck on customer and Sales deals — and may support Partnerships and the strategic relationships behind Model Labs / Frontier Gateways and other key initiatives. Your center of gravity is the compute and infrastructure supply chain; that work comes first even as you flex onto deal support and other initiatives. RESPONSIBILITIES * Own and lead negotiations for GPU compute, cloud capacity, and infrastructure-services agreements across Baseten's multi-provider stack, building flexibility, exit optionality, and enforceable SLAs in before they're needed * Lead colocation, power, datacenter, and network contracting, including the operational and resilience terms that keep production sites online * Map concentration risk and long-lead dependencies across the vendor portfolio and identify where structural changes unlock flexibility — partnering with Finance on sizing and minimum-commitment terms and with Security on datacenter access and regulated-infrastructure requirements * Manage the legal dimensions of strategic infrastructure and hardware relationships, including arrangements where a counterparty plays more than one role * Apply export and trade-control flow-downs (e.g., end-use / end-user terms) in compute and hardware agreements, under the policy and screening framework owned by AI, Privacy & Governance * Build the template library, SLA-credit playbooks, and intake workflows so Procurement and Infra teams can self-serve standard transactions at scale * May assist on other related transactions involving the financing and procurement of compute and capacity * May support the partnership and strategic-relationship workstreams behind Model Labs / Frontier Gateways and other key initiatives * May assist on M&A, vendor-integration, and other strategic or one-off transactions, including diligence on inherited infrastructure agreements and continuity of critical supply post-close * Pitch in on customer and Sales deals alongside the broader legal team, and escalate novel terms that create downstream risk to availability or operational flexibility REQUIREMENTS * JD and active bar membership in good standing * 8+ years of technology-transactions experience with meaningful buy-side exposure to compute, cloud, hardware supply chain, datacenter, colocation, or critical-infrastructure contracting * Fluency in availability and SLA constructs, capacity and route diversity, and how compute, colo, power, and network terms interact * Experience with high-volume, template-driven vendor contracting and the discipline to keep it fast without losing control of risk * Strong judgment about when vendor terms create downstream risk for availability, cost, or operational flexibility, and how to direct specialized outside counsel * Commercially grounded communicator who can translate infrastructure concepts into clear risk calls and partner deeply with Engineering, Infra, and Finance * The ability to learn, build, and master AI tooling and systems to self-serve and operate at breakneck speed * A desire to become a recognized thought leader in your field NICE TO HAVE * In-house experience at a cloud provider, neocloud, hyperscaler, datacenter operator, or hardware / semiconductor company * Direct experience with GPU / hardware supply agreements, bare-metal procurement, or large compute-capacity commitments * Experience with hyperscaler strategic agreements and the competitive dynamics of supplier-competitors * Familiarity with M&A integration and inherited-vendor continuity * Experience at an AI, ML, or developer-infrastructure company 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!
