Software Engineering
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 is building software that coordinates computing across physical devices deployed in homes and on the grid. We're hiring a Software Engineer to build the software that runs on those devices. It collects telemetry, runs compute tasks, and reports state back to our central systems, and it has to stay reliable, secure, and fast out in the field.
This isn't a firmware role. You'll write application software that runs on deployed hardware. You'll own it end to end: learning what the hardware and field networks can actually handle, designing communication protocols that hold up when things go wrong, and shipping updates to a live fleet safely.
You'll work with hardware engineers who know what the devices can do, infrastructure engineers building the backend that coordinates them, and product teams who depend on computing that works at the edge. Your software is what connects the devices to the cloud, so it needs to be efficient, resilient, and easy to maintain.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Design and implement core device software that runs reliably on thousands of deployed devices with >99.5% uptime, reducing software-related incidents through improved error handling, telem
