Launch Engineer for Grid & Battery Software

Base Power Company; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 110,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Base, America’s next-generation power company, is hiring a forward deployed engineer to launch software for distributed batteries across new states. You’ll embed with local teams, learn operations, and build tooling from spreadsheets to BaseOS and battery firmware.

You’ll turn ambiguous problems into shipped products, shaping how batteries are deployed and how data guides decisions. This role requires quick learning, strong frontend/full-stack skills, and the hustle to work in a startup

Qualifications

• 2+ years building production software in product or full-stack engineering roles.
• Strong frontend and full-stack skills across modern web apps, APIs, data models, and stateful user experiences.
• Strong product judgment and a track record of turning ambiguous ideas into shipped, useful products.
• Experience in 0-to-1 or fast-moving environments where user needs, product shape, and success metrics are still changing.
• Experience using product analytics, experimentation, and data to guide decisions.
• Intensity and urgency, and a high bar for your own work.

Responsibilities

• Learn how the work really gets done, and where it breaks, by working alongside the team or partner
• Help decide which problems matter most, what to build, and what to fix with process instead of code
• Build end-to-end software: integrations, internal tools, workflows, data pipelines, and partner-facing products
• Ship a prototype fast, then harden what works so other teams can rely on it
• Work with utility partners on grid constraints and data, and build tools that turn that data into decisions about where to deploy batteries and how to command them
• Launch new states by standing up the partner integrations, workflows, and data each market needs, and make the next launch faster
