Software Engineer, Backend - Deployments
Base Power · Austin, TX
About this role
## 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 transforms today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We’re engineers, operators, and creatives solving complex, interdisciplinary challenges. ## About the Role Every Base battery that ends up on a home runs through **Deployments Software**. We use it to: - Evaluate sites - File permits - Schedule installs - Dispatch technicians - Maintain batteries once they’re live We’re looking for a **Backend Software Engineer** to build the systems driving these workflows. You may work on systems for: - 3D spatial analysis - Automation platforms - Scheduling algorithms for technician matching and route optimization - Real-time, multiplayer, offline-capable APIs - Infrastructure for monitoring and alerting Your software is used across Base, by subcontractor electricians, and by utility partners. ## What You’ll Do - Design and build backend systems supporting Base deployment operations—from site evaluation and scheduling to field execution and ongoing maintenance. - Solve a wide range of technical problems: automation, scheduling/optimization, real-time systems, spatial analysis, and monitoring infrastructure. - Build reliable services, APIs, and data models that other engineers and teams depend on. - Partner with engineers and operational teams to understand problems, challenge assumptions, and deliver practical solutions. - Own your systems end-to-end: architecture, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and maintenance. ## What You’ll Bring - Strong backend engineering experience in **Go, Java, TypeScript**, or similar languages. - Experience designing and operating production services, APIs, and data models. - Solid understanding of distributed systems (reliability, concurrency, consistency, failure handling). - Strong engineering judgment—balancing simplicity, extensibility, and technical rigor. - High ownership, clear communication, and willingness to dig into unfamiliar problems and domains. ## About the Team The **Deployments Software Team** builds the software that runs Base’s deployment operations—from evaluating homes for installs to managing a growing fleet of batteries in the field. This work directly impacts how quickly Base scales and how reliably we operate. Base is vertically integrated, so engineers work closely with teams that depend on the software (field operations, inventory, and embedded software). Within Deployments Software, you’ll work alongside engineers who own different products and systems across the deployment lifecycle. **We are an in-person team** that moves quickly, values simplicity, and gives engineers significant ownership. ## Notes Base is a startup—priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on business needs, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive. ## Our Values - **First Principles Thinking:** Question assumptions. Principles > rules. - **Operate at Base Pace:** Focus on what matters, act quickly, learn by doing. - **Give & Get Feedback:** Be direct, be humble, maintain a growth mindset. - **Everyone’s an Owner:** Follow through and own results. - **Strong Opinions, Loosely Held:** Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information. - **Committed to the Mission:** Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work in-person—it's not a 9-
