About the Role

Every Base battery that ends up on a home runs through Deployments Software. We use it to evaluate sites, file permits, schedule installs, dispatch technicians, and maintain batteries once they're live.

We’re looking for a Backend Software Engineer to build the systems driving these workflows.

The problems we work on are varied. You might be building systems for 3D spatial analysis, developing automation platforms, designing scheduling algorithms for technician matching and route optimization, building real-time, multiplayer, offline-capable APIs, or designing infrastructure for monitoring and alerting.

Our software is used by teams across Base, subcontractor electricians, and utility partners. You'll work closely with engineers across Deployments, Inventory, Onboarding, Markets, and Embedded Software to design the services, APIs, and data models that support these products.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build backend systems that support Base’s deployment operations, from site evaluation and scheduling to field execution and ongoing maintenance.
  • Solve a wide range of technical problems, including automation, scheduling and optimization, real-time systems, spatial analysis, and monitoring infrastructure.
  • Build reliable services, APIs, and data models that other engineers and teams depend on.
  • Work closely with engineers and operational teams to understand problems, challenge assumptions, and develop practical solutions.
  • Own your systems end-to-end, from architecture and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and maintenance.

What You'll Bring

  • Strong backend engineering experience in Go, Java, TypeScript, or similar languages.
  • Experience designing and operating production services, APIs, and data models.
  • A solid understanding of distributed systems, including reliability, concurrency, consistency, and failure handling.
  • Good engineering judgment, with an ability to balance simplicity, extensibility, and technical rigor.
  • High ownership, clear communication, and a willingness to dig into unfamiliar problems and domains.

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 Team

The Deployments Software Team builds the software that runs Base’s deployment operations, from evaluating homes for installs to managing a growing fleet of batteries in the field. Our work directly impacts how quickly Base scales and how reliably we operate.

Base is vertically integrated, which means our engineers work directly with the teams that depend on our software, from field operations and inventory to hardware and embedded software. Within Deployments Software, you'll work alongside engineers who own different products and systems across the deployment lifecycle.

We are an in-person team that moves quickly, values simplicity, and gives engineers a lot of ownership. You’ll have the autonomy to make technical decisions, the responsibility to own your systems in production, and the opportunity to see the impact of your work in the real world.

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

  • First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.
  • Operate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.
  • Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.
  • Everyone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.
  • Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.
  • Committed to the Mission: 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.
  • Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.

DO THE BEST WORK OF YOUR LIFE AT BASE.
