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.
Quant Analysts build and improve the models that drive Base’s Trading & Risk platform - the system that spans our distributed fleet of batteries and the households we serve. You’ll own the price models that tell Base where value exists in wholesale markets like ERCOT and PJM, and the hedging strategy that turns that analysis into a plan for managing Base’s risk.
This is a mid-to-senior role that combines quantitative analysis, software engineering, and energy market expertise. Base has a price model for ERCOT that provides the foundation for future improvements. You’ll extend that work to PJM, sharpen how Base captures grid congestion, and use what you build to shape Base’s hedging strategy there.
Base’s Risk & Trading team turns the grid-service capability of our distributed battery fleet into revenue. That means building and defending the models that decide which markets and products Base participates in, from real-time arbitrage to multi-year distribution deals. The team’s calls carry real weight — a mis-modeled coincident peak or an unvetted market opinion shows up directly in Base’s book.
You’ll work alongside traders, market operations engineers, and policy leads who bring the same rigor to distribution-scale energy that a trading desk brings to wholesale power.
Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.
Our Values
Question assumptions. Principles > rules.
Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.
Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.
Follow through on commitments and own results.
Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.
Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in.
Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.
Do the best work of your life at Base.
