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
At Base, we're building BaseOS: the operating system that runs the modern power company. It's the firmware on batteries in more than 15,000 homes nationally, the algorithms that balance power in real-time energy markets, the internal tools that deploy and operate a fleet installing roughly 150 batteries a day, and the product members use to see and control their energy.
As a software engineering intern, you'll ship real code that runs in production on systems that keep power flowing to real homes. You'll work on problems that touch the whole company: balancing electrons in milliseconds, scaling operations into new markets, and automating things most utilities still do by hand.
This is one of the few places where every line of code has real consequences, in homes, on the grid, and in how Base grows.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Build production systems. Design, build, and deploy production-grade software across the stack, from embedded firmware to backend infrastructure to member-facing products.
- Ship under real constraints. Write code that runs under real-world conditions, where failures have physical consequences. Reliability isn't an afterthought, it's the job.
