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\nEvery 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.\nWe’re looking for a Backend Software Engineer to build the systems driving these workflows.\nThe problems we work on are varied. You might be building systems for 3D spatial analysis, developing automation platforms, designing scheduling algorithms for technician matching and route optimization, building real-time, multiplayer, offline-capable APIs, or designing infrastructure for monitoring and alerting.\nOur software is used by teams across Base, subcontractor electricians, and utility partners. You'll work closely with engineers across Deployments, Inventory, Onboarding, Markets, and Embedded Software to design the services, APIs, and data models that support these products.\nWhat You’ll Do\nDesign and build backend systems that support Base’s deployment operations, from site evaluation and scheduling to field execution and ongoing maintenance.\n\nSolve a wide range of technical problems, including automation, scheduling and optimization, real-time systems, spatial analysis, and monitoring infrastructure.\n\nBuild reliable services, APIs, and data models that other engineers and teams depend on.\n\nWork closely with engineers and operational teams to understand problems, challenge assumptions, and develop practical solutions.\n\nOwn your systems end-to-end, from architecture and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and maintenance.\n\nWhat You'll Bring\nStrong backend engineering experience in Go, Java, TypeScript, or similar languages.\n\nExperience designing and operating production services, APIs, and data models.\n\nA solid understanding of distributed systems, including reliability, concurrency, consistency, and failure handling.\n\nGood engineering judgment, with an ability to balance simplicity, extensibility, and technical rigor.\n\nHigh ownership, clear communication, and a willingness to dig into unfamiliar problems and domains.\n\nAbout the Team\nThe 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.\nBase 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.\nWe are 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.\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":4300,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"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":"2026-11-09T01:58:01Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"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":"2026-11-09T07:32:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":1}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":77,"reasons":["conf:4","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T06:03:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/base-power-software-engineer-backend-deployments","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/base-power-software-engineer-backend-deployments.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T09:33:18Z","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":9311,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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-software-engineer-backend-deployments"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"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-software-engineer-backend-deployments"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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-software-engineer-backend-deployments"},{"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-software-engineer-backend-deployments\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbase-power-software-engineer-backend-deployments"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3949918}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"basepower.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3949918},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
