Base Power; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 120,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Base is building a finance data platform that serves as the single source of truth for the company’s financial numbers. This role owns end-to-end data pipelines, the GL reporting cube, and interfaces (Excel, BI, AI agents) that finance uses to answer questions.

You’ll collaborate with accounting, design robust validation, and extend the platform as Base scales, delivering fast, trusted insights across the organization.

Qualifications

• 3-7 years in data engineering, analytics engineering, or BI development.
• Expert SQL and dimensional modeling; production-grade data pipelines.
• Working accounting fluency and ability to collaborate with finance.
• Auditor's instinct for correctness; anchor data to GL.
• Founding-hire ownership; ship early and scale the function.
• Fluency with AI-enabled data consumption for agents.
• Clear, plain-English communication with finance stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Build and own the finance data warehouse. Design the pipelines that replicate the general ledger out of our ERP and land the asset register, approved budgets, volume actuals, and forecasts in one governed store
• Build the GL reporting cube. Business-friendly dimensions, account hierarchies, and pre-calculated measures, so finance can drill from consolidated results down to transaction detail
• Make correctness a feature. Tested, validated logic that ties to the GL, with reconciliation checks and controls, so accounting trusts every number the platform serves
• Partner with accounting on the dimensional backbone (entity, department, account, absorption methodology, product splits) and encode it once so every report inherits it
• Serve consolidation and budget-vs-actuals. Join forecasts to actuals in the cube and give the team the drilldown behind every variance
• Build the interfaces. Excel-native reporting for the monthly close, BI for the wider company, and agent-readable access so agents and analysts answer questions from one source of truth
• Extend the platform as finance scales. The forecast cube, asset management reporting, and tax equity fund reporting all get built on the rails you lay
