Software Engineer, Product - Deployments

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 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, and maintain batteries once they're live. We're looking for a Product Engineer to build the web and mobile applications that make this work possible. Our software is used by teams across Base, technicians in the field, contractors, and utility partners. You'll work on a wide range of product and technical challenges, from building intuitive interfaces for complex operational workflows to designing real-time, multiplayer, offline-capable applications. We need to support users working from their desk, and users out in the field with a phone and poor internet connection You'll work closely with Design, Backend Engineering, your Product Engineering peers, and the people using our products to figure out what to build and how to build it. We're looking for engineers who care about the user experience, enjoy solving ambiguous problems, and take ownership of the products they ship.

What You’ll Do

• Build web and mobile applications using Typescript, React, and React Native that supports Base deployments

• Implement intuitive product experience for complex workflows including scheduling, permitting, install, and field service.

• Solve challenging frontend problems involving offline-first applications, real-time collaboration, client-side state, and performance.

• Work closely with designers, backend engineers, and operational teams to understand problems and shape product solutions.

• Build reusable components and patterns that make our applications easier to develop and maintain.

• Own your work end-to-end, from product discovery and technical design through implementation, release, and iteration.

What You'll Bring

• Strong experience building production applications with TypeScript, React, or React Native or similar frontend technologies.

• Experience building complex, interactive applications with sophisticated client-side state and asynchronous data.

• Strong product and UX judgment, with an ability to turn complicated workflows into simple, intuitive experiences.

• A solid understanding of frontend architecture, performance, reliability, and testing.

• High ownership, clear communication, and comfort working directly with designers, engineers, and users.

Nice to have:

• Experience with offline-first applications, real-time collaboration, or complex client-side synchronization.

• Experience building software for operational workflows, field service, logistics, or other real-world environments.

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. Our work directly impacts how quickly Base scales and how reliably we operate. Base is vertically integrated, which means our engineers work directly with the teams that depend on our software, from field operations and inventory to hardware and embedded software. Within Deployments Software, you'll work alongside engineers who own different products and systems across the deployment lifecycle. We're an in-person team that moves quickly, values simplicity, and gives engineers a lot of ownership. You'll have the autonomy to make technical decisions, the responsibility to own your systems in production, and the opportunity to see the impact of your work in the real world.

Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.
