Base brings affordable, reliable energy and whole-home backup to homes across Texas — fixed low rates and battery backup that kicks in automatically. Backed by Lightspeed and a16z.
About the role
In August 2026 we launched Base Core, a 39.2 kWh home battery designed and built in America, alongside a $1 billion Series D at a $13 billion valuation. Core installs in under an hour, keeps a house running for up to 36 hours, and is coming off the line at Base Factory 1 in Austin at thousands of units a month.

More about this role
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.

Core is not the last thing we build. We're starting our next major hardware program, a new class of large-scale infrastructure hardware, far bigger than anything we've built for a single home, drawing on the same muscles: power electronics, thermal design, high-volume manufacturing, and a supply chain we control end to end. We're not discussing it publicly yet, but you'll hear the whole thing in your first conversation. We're looking for the person who owns that program from first prototype to volume...
