THE ROLE

Baseten is AI inference infrastructure — we run the models our customers bring, reliably and at scale. That position shapes everything about how we approach AI law, privacy, and regulation. Our customers control model selection, training data, and safety decisions; we comply as the infrastructure layer and as a processor under our DPA. We're hiring an Assistant General Counsel, AI, Privacy & Governance to own that regulatory spine.

This is a build role at the intersection of AI regulation, data protection, export controls, and security. You'll be the owner of Baseten's position under emerging AI law, the architect of our privacy program, and the legal partner to Security and Compliance as we pursue and maintain certifications. You'll also be a commercial enabler — supporting Model Labs and partnership deals where these questions are most acute, and pitching in on customer and Sales deals alongside the rest of the team. Your center of gravity is Baseten's regulatory program — AI law, privacy, export, and governance — and that work comes first even as you support live deals.
