Staff / Lead Site Reliability Engineer

Dallas, TX · Remote · Currently at Baseten · Open to opportunities

I've spent 9+ years making distributed systems more reliable, from global consumer services to multi-cloud Kubernetes and production GPU inference fleets. I currently operate AI infrastructure at Baseten and am exploring Staff or Lead SRE roles where I can improve reliability, platform engineering, observability, and operational leverage.
