Software Engineer, Business Systems

Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.

As a Software Engineer, on our Business Systems team, you will be at the heart of our operations, building and optimizing the systems that keep our business running smoothly. Embedded within different business teams every 3-6 months, you'll gain deep domain expertise and directly influence key decisions across the company.

You'll provide day-to-day technical support while building deep domain expertise to design and implement meaningful system improvements. This role will work closely with internal business teams and own implementation and maintenance of operational software such as ERP, MES, and WMS solutions. This is a unique opportunity to be on the front lines of operational transformation, helping the business scale through system improvements, automations, and innovations.

What You'll Do

• Take full responsibility for ensuring our operational systems -- such as ERP, CRM, MES, and WMS -- are secure, reliable, and fully optimized to support Base’s growth.

• Become our go-to expert on Odoo ERP, CRM, MES, accounting, and WMS platforms. Help us leverage these systems to meet our evolving business needs.

• Identify opportunities for improvement within existing software, design tailored solutions, and implement enhancements that align with business goals.

• Translate business requirements into actionable processes within ERP, accounting, and project management software. Provide strategic guidance to ensure scalability and best practices.

• Own all aspects of system integrations, data migrations, and software transitions. Ensure smooth user permissioning, seamless training, thorough documentation, and effective vendor management.

• Develop custom solutions for critical software packages that address near-term business needs and position us for future growth.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years full-stack software engineering experience.

• The ability to translate business requirements into actionable technical solutions, ensuring our tools are perfectly aligned with the company’s goals.

• Python proficiency.

• Familiarity with ERP systems (ideally Odoo), CRM platforms, and other enterprise-level software.

• Proven ability to work closely with non-technical stakeholders, understand their needs, and implement scalable solutions.

• Experience in, or working adjacent to, business, accounting, finance, or a related field.

• Self-starter who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and enjoys variety.

Base is a company for people who want to win and who want their work to matter. We think from first principles, move with urgency, and treat the mission like our own.

We talk about what isn’t working before we talk about what is because every problem is an opportunity to fix something, improve the system, and compound progress. We cut through complexity, stay close to the work, and let results speak for themselves.

• First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.

• Operate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.

• Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.

• Everyone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.

• Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.

• Committed to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in.

• Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.
