About the Role
At Base Power, we’re building a vertically integrated, software enabled battery manufacturing company for the electric era. We are living through a revolutionary free-fall in the cost of internal tools, and at Base we are taking full advantage to build the sharpest, most responsive internal stack in the world.
As a software engineer on the Factory Software team, you will be responsible for building the tools we use to purchase, move, manufacture, and deliver batteries to hundreds of thousands of homes. You will work closely with manufacturing engineers, warehouse associates, global supply managers, truck drivers, and quality engineers to build intuitive, reliable tools for controlling and understanding material movement. This is a role for engineers who like working closely with non-software teams, solving messy real world problems, and thinking deeply about how to leverage software to streamline processes.
What You'll Do
Set the pace: Move quickly, make decisions with imperfect information, and take responsibility for outcomes. You help the team operate with clarity and urgency.
Own critical tools: Design, build, and operate core services that power our Austin factory. You are accountable for reliability, performance, and long-term scalability.
Operate across the stack: Use cutting edge AI tools to rapidly iterate on production tools. You’re comfortable going from business requirements to application logic and down to infrastructure when needed.
Work across domains: Partner closely with supply chain, inventory, manufacturing and battery deployments teams to solve problems that don’t fit neatly into software. You translate real-world constraints into clean system design.
What You'll Bring
Demonstrated ability to build tools that solve real world problems
High ownership and accountability, with a bias toward action and a willingness to step in wherever needed to move the system forward
2+ years of professional software development experience, with a track record of owning and shipping operational tools
Clear communication and strong opinions, with the ability to drive technical decisions while remaining open to new information
Product intuition, with the ability to think beyond implementation and toward user experience, operational impact, and business outcomes
Ability to design systems end-to-end, from API design through implementation and operation, with sound engineering judgment
About the Team
Factory Software builds the systems Base uses to source, buy, receive, track, value, manufacture, and move physical material. We work directly with supply-chain, warehouse, procurement, and finance partners to understand how work happens and where software needs to change. Our work spans operational tools and the integrations that connect physical activity to financial records. We’re replacing legacy ERP workflows with Base-owned systems to reduce duplicate entry, manual reconciliation, and errors, and give our partners data they can trust.
Our Values
First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.
