*Not AI*

At Base we're building a distributed fleet of energy storage systems to fix the nation's power grid. We build and manufacture power converters, deploy them across the power grid, and build the algs, ingestion and commanding platforms that operate the fleet in response to real-time grid conditions.

Our team is made up of engineers from top infrastructure and energy companies (Apple, Anduril, Starlink, etc) and we recently raised a billion bucks from fancy people (a16z, Valor, Thrive, Addition).

We are looking for: platform, firmware & controls, embedded, and full stack!

Come build cool shit and fix the power grid with us!
