About the Role

We are looking for a senior or staff-level frontend engineer to lead the development of the customer experience at Base. You will set the architecture and technical direction of interfaces that connect real-world energy systems with a clear, simple digital experience, acting as the technical anchor for the team. This role requires deep frontend expertise, technical leadership, and the ability to translate complex systems into simple experiences.

Responsibilities

  • Lead frontend development of the customer experience across Base web and mobile applications.
  • Set frontend architecture and technical strategy across multiple product surfaces, defining patterns, tooling, and standards.
  • Own major product surfaces end-to-end, from concept through production and iteration.
  • Work closely with backend engineers to design APIs and data models that support product features.
  • Translate complex energy systems into clear, intuitive user experiences.
  • Partner with product and design to shape the roadmap and deliver high-impact features.
  • Establish frontend engineering standards and improve developer experience across the stack.
  • Mentor engineers and raise the bar for frontend craft across the team.
  • Act as a technical lead on cross-team initiatives, influencing frontend architecture decisions.
  • Use analytics and experimentation to improve the member experience over time.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience building production frontend or full-stack software.
  • Deep expertise in TypeScript and modern web frameworks such as React or Next.js.
  • Strong experience designing frontend architecture for complex web applications.
  • Track record of owning products or platforms from concept through launch and iteration.
  • Experience architecting at least one system from scratch.
  • Comfort working across the stack and collaborating closely with backend engineers on APIs and data models.
  • Strong product judgment and the ability to translate complex systems into simple user experiences.
  • Experience using product analytics, experimentation, and data to guide decisions.
  • Deep technical understanding of hard frontend problems (performance, state management, cross-platform architecture, design systems, etc.).
  • Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction beyond your own team.
  • First principles thinking, grit, and a bias toward shipping.

About the Company

  • Base is America’s next-generation power company, 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.
  • America's power grid is failing - electricity costs have risen even as generation gets cheaper, and blackouts are becoming more common. We're building the software that fixes it.
  • Our team owns the entire stack: firmware that controls batteries in thousands of homes, trading algorithms that buy and sell power in real-time markets, distributed commanding systems that orchestrate a growing fleet as a single grid asset, factory software for our Austin manufacturing line, and the product experience that makes it all invisible to homeowners.
  • If you want to write code that physically moves electrons, ships hardware, and reshapes critical infrastructure, this is the job.
