About The Position

Base is building the foundation of American power. The grid is the largest, most complex machine in the world. Yet it’s aging, struggling to keep up with today’s demand, and is unprepared for our electrified future. Base is modernizing the grid as the first engineering-led, technology-driven power company. We’re deploying a nationwide network of distributed batteries that strengthens critical infrastructure and saves Americans money. Our team of engineers, operators, creatives, technicians, and electricians design and deploy systems at speed. If you want to tackle the problem that will define this century and shape the future of American energy, now is the time. Join us. We are looking for our first dedicated Product Designer to shape how people experience the future of home energy. This is a senior-level role focused on shaping the experience of our consumer-facing platforms, from our mobile app to our web touchpoints. You’ll turn one of life’s most complex systems—electricity—into experiences that feel simple, human, and empowering. From navigating an outage to supporting the grid to the onboarding flow, the products you design will transform stress into confidence and complexity into clarity. You will set the standard for product design at Base, building experiences that are functional, educational, and beautiful.
