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, led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to ship AI products.

THE ROLE

We are bringing our people systems in-house on Workday, and we are hiring our first dedicated Workday Analyst to make it excellent. You will join while the implementation is underway, ramp alongside our deployment partner, and own the tenant from go-live onward. This is a hands-on configuration role: you will build business processes, manage security, load data, and test releases yourself, and you will teach others on the People team to do the same as we grow. If you want to shape a Workday environment from its first day in production instead of inheriting years of someone else's decisions, this is that rare opening.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own day-to-day Workday configuration: business processes, security groups and roles, custom reports, calculated fields, and tenant settings

• Build and run EIB loads for data changes, mass updates, and audits

• Own the twice-yearly Workday release cycle: evaluate new features, regression-test, and roll out changes safely

• Shadow the implementation build, then take over tenant ownership at go-live

• Monitor integrations and triage issues with our IT team and vendors

• Support payroll configuration in partnership with our Accounting team and payroll services provider

• Field and resolve system requests from employees, managers, and the People team

• Mentor teammates so Workday administration becomes a team capability, not a single point of failure

REQUIREMENTS

• 4+ years administering a live Workday tenant in-house (customer side, not consulting)

• Deep Workday HCM core: business process configuration, security administration, and Report Writer

• Fluent with EIBs and comfortable owning data loads end to end

• Have shipped multiple Workday releases and know how to test them

• A builder's temperament: you do the configuration yourself and like it that way

• Clear written communication for documentation and change notes

• Excitement about a pace that's faster than anywhere you've worked before

• You'd rather improve on your old playbooks than reuse them as-is, and you're interested in AI tools that help you do it

NICE TO HAVE

• Workday Payroll configuration experience

• Workday Benefits module configuration (plan and enrollment event setup)

• Workday Absence Management configuration (time off and leave plans)

• Workday Pro or similar certifications

• Commutable to our San Francisco or New York office

BENEFITS

• Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity

• (U.S. only) 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

• (U.S. only) Company-facilitated 401(k)

• Exposure to a variety of ML startups, offering unparalleled learning and networking opportunities.
