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.

We are looking for a Product Engineer with a strong track record of building user-facing features across modern frontend stacks. You'll help shape the entire Base experience, from learning about the company to viewing real-time energy use, managing outages, and understanding your bill.

This role is ideal for someone who leads with the customer in mind, cares about clarity and transparency in user experience, and has taken complex features from idea to launch. You'll guide architectural decisions, balance technical tradeoffs, and ensure we deliver software that's both reliable and easy to use.

Responsibilities:

•

Drive feature development throughout the system.

•

The frontend team is responsible for all customer experiences: learning about the company, our real-time energy dashboard, the outage experience, transparent billing, and notifications. Our goal is to make the most delightful and transparent energy company experience possible.

•

We care deeply about user experience - not particular technologies. As a senior frontend engineer, you'll lead our decisions about the architecture we choose to provide high-quality user experiences.

Required Skills / Qualifications:

•

6+ years experience in product engineering.

•

Has led development in modern SPA frameworks or mobile apps.

•

Has platform and API experience.

•

Familiar with data-driven product development.

•

Has led the development of many features end-to-end.

•

Typescript is a hard requirement for this role.

•

Technical excellence in software (you've gone deep on a hard problem).

•

Ability to think from the customer perspective.

•

Grit and first principles thinking.

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.
