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.\nAbout the Role\nBase works in the physical world. A homeowner finds us and decides to trust a new kind of power company. A crew installs the battery. The city approves it, the utility connects it, and we dispatch it, telling it when to charge and when to send power back based on local grid conditions and the member’s usage. Our software has to work inside every one of those steps.\nNow we’re going nationwide, and every new state is a new puzzle. The utilities and grids are different. Cities have their own rules. Homeowners think about batteries very differently, too: someone in Houston who lived through a week-long outage sees a home battery differently than someone who has never lost power. Launching a market means learning all of that fast, building software that works there, and then doing it again in the next state.\nWe’re hiring a forward deployed engineer to go where those problems are.\nHow this role works\nYou’ll embed with the teams and partners behind each launch and learn how their operations really run. Then you’ll build whatever it takes to make the launch work, from a partner’s spreadsheet to BaseOS to the firmware on the battery. What you learn goes back to our Core Experience and Platform teams, so every launch makes the system better.\nWhere you might embed\nGrowth: our sales and marketing teams and the partners who bring homeowners to Base, like homebuilders and channel partners. Build what each new market needs to launch, and scale what works from state to state.\n\nDeployments: our deployments team and installer partners. Get new crews, paperwork rules, and handoffs right in every state.\n\nUtilities: our utility and markets team and the utilities we connect to. Use grid data to find where the grid is strained, decide where batteries do the most good, and shape how we dispatch the fleet.\n\nWhat you’ll do\nLearn how the work really gets done, and where it breaks, by working alongside the team or partner\n\nHelp decide which problems matter most, what to build, and what to fix with process instead of code\n\nBuild end-to-end software: integrations, internal tools, workflows, data pipelines, and partner-facing products\n\nShip a prototype fast, then harden what works so other teams can rely on it\n\nWork 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\n\nLaunch new states by standing up the partner integrations, workflows, and data each market needs, and make the next launch faster\n\nWhat you’ll bring\n2+ years building production software in product or full-stack engineering roles\n\nStrong frontend and full-stack skills, with comfort across modern web apps, APIs, data models, and stateful user experiences\n\nStrong product judgment and a track record of turning ambiguous ideas into shipped, useful products\n\nExperience in 0-to-1 or fast-moving environments where user needs, product shape, and success metrics are still changing\n\nExperience using product analytics, experimentation, and data to guide decisions\n\nIntensity and urgency, and a high bar for your own work\n\nPlease 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.\nOur Values\nFirst Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.\n\nOperate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.\n\nGive & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.\n\nEveryone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.\n\nStrong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.\n\nCommitted to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in.\n\nFun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.\n\nDo the best work of your life at Base.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4469,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy Storage","Smart Grid"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T21:46:40Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 12","filings_12m":12,"filings_prev_12m":4,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":137500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":86,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/base-power-forward-deployed-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/base-power-forward-deployed-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T21:07:37Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1932,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5219},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5219"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbase-power-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbase-power-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbase-power-forward-deployed-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/base-power-forward-deployed-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbase-power-forward-deployed-engineer"}]}
