## Description

ABOUT BASE

Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.




ABOUT THE ROLE

Base works in the physical world. A homeowner finds us and decides to trust a new kind of power company. A crew installs the battery. The city approves it, the utility connects it, and we dispatch it, telling it when to charge and when to send power back based on local grid conditions and the member’s usage. Our software has to work inside every one of those steps.

Now we’re going nationwide, and every new state is a new puzzle. The utilities and grids are different. Cities have their own rules. Homeowners think about batteries very differently, too: someone in Houston who lived through a week-long outage sees a home battery differently than someone who has never lost power. Launching a market means learning all of that fast, building software that works there, and then doing it again in the next state.

We’re hiring a forward deployed engineer to go where those problems are.



How this role works

You’ll embed with the teams and partners behind each launch and learn how their operations really run. Then you’ll build whatever it takes to make the launch work, from a partner’s spreadsheet to BaseOS to the firmware on the battery. What you learn goes back to our Core E
