About This Job

Our mission at Base is to fix the power grid and enable affordable and reliable electricity for all. To do that, we are building America's Next-Generation Power Company; the first engineering-led, technology-focused, R&D-driven electricity company. We are a team of tenacious engineers, operators, and creatives who have solved hard problems and are here to do it again.

Cloud services at Base are core to our mission and success. Our services command a distributed fleet of energy systems, manage electricity service for homes across Texas, and accelerate our deployment operations through automation and modern tooling. As a software engineer on this team, you'll be responsible for designing and building robust software systems to manage, monitor, and control the heart of Base.

Responsibilities :

Build Scalable Systems: Design and implement backend services and APIs.
Cloud Mastery: Develop and optimize cloud applications in Golang and Python.
Automate with Precision: Employ Terraform to manage infrastructure as code, and Temporal to orchestrate complex workflows for deployment and operations.
Collaborate with the Best: Work closely with our data scientists, IoT experts, and product designers to create seamless solutions that connect hardware, data, and the cloud.
Solve for Impact: Every line of code contributes to revolutionizing the grid that powers our society.


Required Skills / Qualifications :

Minimum 2 years of experience in professional software development. More experience is valued as we're hiring across all levels.
Proficiency in a backend language (Go, Python, Java, or similar).
Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, or GCP) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
A passion for writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code.
Bonus: Experience with IoT, distributed systems, or DevOps practices.
An eagerness to learn, grow, and contribute to an ambitious team.

If you're passionate about tackling one of the most critical challenges of our time, now is the time to join us. Together, we can usher in a new era of American energy abundance by developing the hardware, software, and deployment operations that make it possible. Our Values : We're building a winning culture, and we're looking for people who are up for the challenge. These are the values we expect you to embrace from day one:

In-Person Work: We work full-time in the office. There is no hybrid or remote work.
Challenge Assumptions: We're not here to do things the way they've always been done. We look for people who question the status quo and improve broken systems. We are guided by principles, not rules.
Operate with Urgency: Speed matters. We focus on what's essential, make fast progress, and iterate quickly. Execution drives learning, and learning drives impact. Always have a bias for action.
Give & Seek Feedback: We value intellectual honesty. We expect you to challenge ideas (even your own), give direct feedback, and receive it with humility.
Deliver: We are high achievers with a drive to win. We take end-to-end accountability for seeing our work through and delivering on our responsibilities.
Think Like an Owner: We are all owners of the business. We use our time and resources wisely and take personal responsibility for our impact on the bottom line.
Be Opinionated: Great people make decisions with imperfect information. Eliminate murky ownership and drive towards decisions.
Bring the Intensity: This is not a 9-to-5 job. We are building something hard, and that requires real commitment.
