Base is the first technology-driven power company.

The grid is the largest, most complex, and oldest machine in the world, yet it’s been underinvested in for decades.



Base Power is deploying a network of distributed batteries to protect American families from outages and strengthen the grid. We design, manufacture, and install every system ourselves.



Every battery we deploy secures critical infrastructure, lowers bills for Americans, and moves the U.S. toward true energy abundance.

Own the outcome.
Every person at Base Power owns their outcomes completely. No finger-pointing, no waiting for permission. If you see a problem, you fix it. If something needs to be built, you build it. We hire people who leave every system, team, and challenge better than they found it.

Bias for action.
We move problems forward instead of waiting for perfect conditions. When something matters, we take ownership, make a call with the information available, and start learning through execution. Progress beats deliberation. Momentum reveals the right answers faster than analysis alone.

Build real things.
At Base, “real” doesn’t just mean physical. It means infrastructure that works. We design and install home batteries but also the software that dispatches them, the grid services that make them valuable, the partnerships that bring them to neighborhoods, and the operational engine that makes deployment seamless.

Question assumptions.
We break problems down to their fundamentals and build solutions from the ground up. If a process doesn't make sense, we redesign it. If conventional wisdom is wrong, we challenge it. Clarity of thought is the foundation of everything we build.

Own the Work at Base Pace.
We're fixing America's failing power grid, and we're not waiting for permission to do it. Base Pace is how Base Power operates. It means high-ownership people making real decisions and shipping real things. We compress timelines because every week we save is another family that gets protected sooner.

The strongest team
in energy.

What's the work culture really like at Base?

Intense, fast-paced, and deeply mission-driven. We work hard because the problem demands it—the grid is failing real families. We expect high output, ownership, and a bias toward action. It's not for everyone, and that's by design.

Do I need to be based in Texas?

Yes. We build physical products that serve real people. Most roles are based in Austin. Proximity to the product and to each other is how we move fast.

How fast is the hiring process?

We aim to move from first conversation to offer in ~2 weeks. If it's a clear fit, we accelerate.

How should I prepare for my on-site interview?

Come with a strong point of view on the work you'd be doing. Research our product, understand the challenge, and prepare concrete examples of problems you've solved. The on-site is as much for you as it is for us. Bring thoughtful questions about the team and the work.

What types of roles are you hiring for?

Engineering (hardware, firmware, software, manufacturing), field installation and service, and corporate functions (operations, business operations, growth, and design).

Non-traditional background. Should I still apply?

Absolutely. We care about what you've built and how you think, not the logos on your resume. Some of our best people came from non-traditional paths. If you're relentless, resourceful, and excited about the mission, apply.
