About The Position

Base is building a vertically integrated, software-enabled battery manufacturing company. The Factory Software team develops tools used to purchase, move, manufacture, and deliver batteries.

• Clear communication and the ability to drive technical decisions while remaining open to new information.
• Product intuition, including consideration of user experience, operational impact, and business outcomes beyond implementation.
• Ability to design systems end-to-end, from API design through implementation and operation, using sound engineering judgment.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate core services that power the Austin factory, with accountability for reliability, performance, and long-term scalability.
• Build production tools using AI tools to iterate rapidly, working from business requirements through application logic and infrastructure as needed.
• Partner with supply chain, inventory, manufacturing, and battery deployment teams to solve cross-domain problems and translate real-world constraints into system designs.
• Build tools that support purchasing, moving, manufacturing, and delivering batteries, as well as sourcing, receiving, tracking, valuing, and moving physical materials.
