Software Engineering Intern

Description

• Work Across Domains: Collaborate with hardware, deployment, and operations teams to solve problems that span software and the physical world.
• Challenge the Status Quo: Question assumptions. Fix broken systems. Principles > rules.
• Product Engineering – Build intuitive mobile and web experiences that let people see and control their energy in ways utilities never could.
• Build Production Systems: Design, build, and deploy production-grade software across our stack, from embedded software to backend infrastructure to user-facing products.
• Internal Software – Write the automation, data pipelines, and APIs that run Base as a company.
• Market Infrastructure – Design backend systems that power real-time algorithms and control our distributed fleet.
• Scale Base’s Operations: Contribute to the internal tools that let us expand into new markets quickly, handle permitting and deployment complexity, and orchestrate field operations at scale.
• Fleet Software & Embedded Systems – Build the edge software that keeps our batteries reliable and connected.

Requirements

• Ship Under Constraints: Write code that runs under real-world conditions, with real physical consequences if it fails. Reliability isn’t an afterthought: it’s the mission.
• Strong foundation in software engineering fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, systems design).
• Demonstrated ability to build and ship working software -- through side projects, coursework, or prior internships.
• Builder’s mindset: curious, self-directed, and eager to work on problems that actually matter.
• Clear, concise communicator who thrives in collaborative, fast-paced environments.

Benefits

• In-Person Only: We work full-time in the office. No hybrid. No remote.
