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.
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 Experience and Platform teams, so every launch makes the system better.
Where you might embed
our sales and marketing teams and the partners who bring homeowners to Base, like homebuilders and channel partners. Build what each new market needs to launch, and scale what works from state to state.
our deployments team and installer partners. Get new crews, paperwork rules, and handoffs right in every state.
our utility and markets team and the utilities we connect to. Use grid data to find where the grid is strained, decide where batteries do the most good, and shape how we dispatch the fleet.
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.
