Forward Deployed Engineer

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.
