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
We are seeking a Power Trader to trade around both Base’s retail load book and battery fleet. Your immediate focus would be to build a strategy for the short term (up to 30 days out) for ERCOT with near term scope to build out the strategy in PJM and eventually other ISOs. You’ll also help supplement Base’s existing longer term strategy by bringing a rigorous, portfolio-construction driven approach to how we manage exposure across generation and load.
