If you’re passionate about tackling one of the most critical challenges of our time, now is the time to join us. Together, we can usher in a new era of American energy abundance.
About
The Role
Base is the first engineering-led, technology-focused power company. As America electrifies, our outdated power systems are straining, leaving families vulnerable to outages and rising costs. Base is deploying a distributed network of residential batteries that maintain household power during outages while stabilizing the entire grid day-to-day. By building the nervous system for this distributed power plant, you will be making electricity more reliable, affordable, and abundant for millions.
As a Network Engineer at Base, you won't just be managing a network; you'll be the architect of a critical piece of American infrastructure. You will solve novel, first-principles problems at the intersection of large-scale IoT, industrial control systems, cloud networking, and cybersecurity. Your work will directly ensure the secure, reliable, and massively scalable communication fabric between our distributed energy assets and our cloud control plane.
As we vertically integrate, you will also build our manufacturing and operational network infrastructure from the ground up. This is a role for an engineer who wants to build something tangible and enduring, leaving a legacy of a more resilient and reliable America.
What You'll Do
- Architect, build, and operate the secure, low-latency, and resilient network connecting our central cloud platform to a rapidly growing fleet of thousands (and soon millions) of IoT devices in the field.
- Design and implement a zero-trust security architecture for our Operational Technology environment, utilizing advanced firewall policies, network segmentation, NAC using 802.1X, and VPN technologies to protect critical infrastructure.
- Champion and execute an infrastructure-as-code methodology using tools like Terraform for all network provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management, ensuring high-velocity, repeatable deployments at massive scale.
- Lead the ground-up design and implementation of all on-premise network infrastructure for our corporate, R&D, and manufacturing facilities. This includes everything from L1 (structured cabling, IDF/MDF) to L3 (routing, switching, firewalls).
- Develop and automate comprehensive network monitoring, observability, and alerting systems (e.g. Grafana) to proactively detect and mitigate issues, ensuring sub-second visibility into network health.
- Act as the final escalation point for all network-related incidents, leading the diagnosis, resolution, and post-mortem analysis to drive continuous improvement.
- Collaborate with Hardware, Software, Manufacturing, and Deployments teams to define network requirements for new products and services, ensuring the network architecture is a key enabler of the company's mission.
- Expert-level knowledge of TCP/IP, OSPF, and other modern networking protocols.
- Demonstrated experience of network automation using Python, Go, and/or Terraform.
- Experience architecting and securing large-scale IoT, SCADA, or other OT networks.
- Direct experience designing and supporting network infrastructure in a manufacturing, industrial, or factory…
