Software Engineer, Backend
Base Power Company, Austin, TX
About the job
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 role
We're building BaseOS — the operating system that runs the modern power company. It coordinates thousands of distributed batteries, powers our internal operations, and enables us to deliver reliable, low-cost electricity at scale.
As a software engineer on this team, you'll build and operate real services that BaseOS depends on — services that control real hardware in real homes. You'll work across the stack, from backend systems and APIs to the infrastructure they run on, and you'll grow quickly because the problems here don't fit into a tidy box. This is a role for engineers who want to learn by shipping, take ownership early, and work on systems that touch the physical world.
