About the Role

Base is building a distributed GPU fleet that attaches datacenter-grade compute to its power network, serving the AI industry with hosted hardware, bare-metal nodes, and an OpenAI-compatible inference API. This founding-team role involves building the control plane, provisioning path, node agent, and dispatch layer for thousands of remote nodes.

Responsibilities

• Build the fleet control plane: inventory, identity, activation, telemetry, and operator tooling for a growing network of GPU nodes.
• Own out-of-band provisioning and recovery: Redfish/iDRAC automation, network boot, immutable OS images, and rescue paths.
• Develop the node agent: a secure, durable local substrate for cloud trust, state reporting, work reception, and resilience.
• Design overlay networking and secure connectivity across consumer internet links.
• Integrate dispatch with energy planning systems to optimize compute runtime based on power availability and cost.
• Collaborate with hardware and deployment teams on enclosures, thermals, and outdoor server operation.

Requirements

• 8+ years building systems software close to hardware: platform management, firmware, provisioning, fleet orchestration, or backend services operating physical machines.
• Deep experience with server platforms: BMC/iDRAC, Redfish or IPMI, PXE/virtual-media boot, hardware inventory, and remote recovery.
• Strong C, C++, Rust, or Go proficiency.
• Comfortable moving between low-level system tasks (boot log) and distributed services.
• Experience operating fleets that cannot be physically accessed: servers, network gear, vehicles, telecom, or energy hardware.
• Judgment to determine whether to build new solutions or adopt existing industry standards.
• Ownership mentality: ability to set patterns for others in a small team with revenue targets.
