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 , led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to ship AI products. THE ROLE Baseten is growing fast, and every hiring decision we make depends on recruiting data that is accurate, current, and easy to act on. As our Recruiting Operations Analyst, you'll own the numbers behind how our Talent team works: modeling recruiter and coordinator capacity, defining what success looks like for every process and system change, and reporting back on whether those changes worked. You'll sit on the growing Recruiting Operations team alongside a Program Manager, who drives the programs your analysis informs, and Recruiting Operations Specialists, who support both. When leadership wants to know where candidates are stalling, which sources produce hires, or how many recruiters the hiring plan actually requires, you'll be the one with the answer. EXAMPLE INITIATIVES Take a look at some of the recent news driving our growth: Announcing our partnership with OpenAI Blaxel is joining Baseten to build the future of agentic infrastructure Sheila Vashee joins Baseten as CMO RESPONSIBILITIES Build and own the recruiting capacity model, determining how many open roles each recruiter and coordinator can carry by role type and keeping it tied to the headcount plan as targets change. Analyze pass-through rates, time in stage, interviewer scoring patterns, and candidate drop-off to inform changes to interview loops, as well as interview content and structure. Define success metrics and capture baselines before process and system changes launch, including new interview stages, Ashby automations, and AI-powered recruiting tools, then monitor and report on whether they worked. Audit Ashby for gaps and inconsistencies, reconcile open headcount against the planning source of truth, and build checks so hiring leaders can trust what they see on dashboards. Build and maintain dashboards and recurring reporting (using Ashby as the source of truth), including weekly pipeline updates, executive reporting, and monthly operating metrics. Run ad hoc analysis for leadership and share findings in clear, plain language. Help recruiters read and act on their own numbers, and guide Recruiting Operations Specialists on lighter data work.
