From Base Power Company's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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.
The hardest problem in AI compute today isn’t chips. It’s power — permitted, interconnected, and available now. Base already has it, at thousands of sites, with more coming online every day.
Our answer to what that power is worth: a Base-built, Base-operated distributed GPU fleet that attaches datacenter-grade compute to our power network and serves it to the AI industry — from hosted hardware and bare-metal nodes up to an OpenAI-compatible inference API running on our own machines.
This is a founding-team role. You’ll help build the whole thing: the control plane that inventories, activates, and recovers thousands of remote nodes; the provisioning path that flashes a server over Redfish/iDRAC from a thousand miles away; the agent that keeps every node trusted, observed, and working; and the dispatch layer that decides — together with our energy planning systems — when compute runs, throttles, or drains.
Most infrastructure jobs scale someone else’s platform. This one starts a new kind of datacenter — one distributed across thousands of homes, powered by batteries we build, running compute we operate end to end. The problems are unsolved, the hardware is real, and the first nodes are going into the field now.
