## Job description

## About Base

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.

## About the Role

The last mile delivery driver handles the final leg of delivery and installation getting Base Power battery systems to members' homes on time and setting them up right. Day-to-day work includes operating a 26ft box truck with a passenger team member, loading products, driving a route, installing ground-mounted batteries systems, and keeping accurate delivery records in our in-house app.

## What You'll Do

- Deliveries: Transport and hand off products to residential and business addresses safely and on time
- Equipment operation: Use electric pallet jacks and dollies to move pallets in and out of the truck
- Battery installation: Stack batteries, complete light assembly, and commission the app-based system at each site
- Member interaction: Answer or direct questions and address concerns on-site with clear, professional communication
- Site cleanup: Remove all packaging and debris from the member's property before leaving
- Route management: Follow efficient routes to hit delivery windows consistently
- Vehicle upkeep: Keep the delivery vehicle clean and organized. Run basic maintenance checks before each shift
- Delivery logging: Record delivery times, addresses, product, and notes accurately in the delivery app
- Inventory: Assist with loading and unloading. Run truck cycle counts when requested
- Safety: Follow all driving and product-handling safety protocols
- Issue reporting: Flag delays, damages, missing items, or road issues to dispatch or a supervisor promptly

## What You'll Bring

- Valid driver's license with a clean record
- Ability to pass a DOT physical
- Experience driving box trucks, vans, or commercial vehicles preferred
- Strong communication skills and comfort working directly with members
- Able to learn and use apps, systems, and tech platforms required for the role
- Able to lift and carry 50+ lbs
- Comfortable navigating routes using GPS or mapping software
- Self-directed and reliable in a fast-paced environment
- Basic vehicle maintenance knowledge
- Able to work outdoors year-round in all weather conditions

## About the Team

Our delivery and warehouse team ensures solar batteries, inverters, and installation equipment reach residential job sites on time and in perfect condition. We handle the last-mile logistics that determine whether thousands of families get their clean energy systems installed on schedule. Your work directly impacts our ability to scale—every efficient route, properly kitted job, and damage-free delivery means another home powered by renewable energy instead of the grid.

Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.

## Our Values

- 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.

Do the best work of your life at Base.

## About Base Power Company

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Base Power is a technology-driven energy provider deploying a network of distributed home batteries in Texas to provide reliable, affordable backup power and grid-balancing services.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series C, $1.3B+ raised to date)
- **Headquarters**: Austin, Texas, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Zach Dell (CEO & Co-Founder), Justin Lopas (COO & Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Energy Technology (Energy-as-a-Service, Grid Storage, Distributed Energy)
- **Target customers**: B2C (Texas homeowners), B2G (grid operators / ERCOT)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Build the future of American power." — The company aims to protect American families from outages, strengthen the aging U.S. grid, and move toward energy abundance by deploying a large-scale network of home batteries.

## Products & Services
- **Home Battery + Energy Membership**: A vertically integrated service where Base installs a large battery (25–50 kWh) at a customer's home for a low one-time fee ($695–$995). Customers pay a fixed energy rate (8–4¢/kWh) and a small monthly membership ($19–$29/mo). Base earns revenue from the grid (grid-balancing services), not from customer bills, enabling rates legally guaranteed to stay below market average. The system provides whole-home backup, protecting against 97% of outages.
- **Grid Services Platform**: Proprietary software that orchestrates the distributed battery network — charging when demand is low and discharging when the grid needs support — generating revenue and grid resilience.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (Private company with $1.3B+ total funding)
- **Key Metric (Funding)**:
  - **Series A** (May 2024): $68M led by Thrive Capital
  - **Series B** (April 2025): $200M led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, and others
  - **Series C** (November 2025): $1.0B from 26 investors
  - **Total raised**: ~$1.27B (converted from 1,268,000,000)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Thrive Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Andreessen Horowitz (also key talent source: 42 former Tesla employees, 6 from SpaceX, 4 from Anduril Industries)
- **Growth Signals**:
  - **Headcount**: 266 (as of mid-2026), with **+186.4% YoY growth** and a rapid monthly growth rate of +12.6%
  - Named one of **TIME's 10 most influential energy companies of 2026**
  - Operating in 5 countries (primarily US, with presence in Canada, Philippines, France, India)
  - 100+ active job postings with +104% increase YoY
  - 12,500+ batteries installed; serving thousands of monthly customers
  - CEO cited in the careers page as saying the company has 400+ team members ("400+" likely includes contractors and field installation/service workforce)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vertically Integrated Model**: Base designs, manufactures, and installs every battery system itself, controlling the full stack from hardware through software to field operations.
- **Unique Business Model / No-Customer-Profit**: Base earns revenue from grid balancing, not from customer energy bills. This allows guaranteed-below-market rates and a low-cost battery membership, making it dramatically cheaper than competitors (e.g., Tesla Powerwall equivalents).
- **Strong Investor and Talent Backing**: World-class VC backing combined with a heavy talent influx from Tesla, SpaceX, and Anduril (companies known for high-velocity hardware/software execution).
- **Massive Capital Advantage**: $1B+ Series C provides a significant moat for scaling hardware production, dealer network, and software.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale distribution in Texas**: Continue deploying home batteries at a rapid pace across Texas, entering new zip codes and neighborhoods.
- **Grid partnership expansion**: Deepen relationships with ERCOT to expand the value of grid-balancing services.
- **Product development**: Improve battery technology (safety, capacity, cost), increase whole-home backup coverage (currently 97%), and develop new hardware/firmware generations.
- **Geographic expansion**: potential to move beyond Texas into other states (currently operating in 5 countries for support functions, but service is Texas-focused).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as "intense, fast-paced, and deeply mission-driven." The company demands high output, ownership, and a bias toward action. It's explicitly stated as "not for everyone, and that's by design." This is a high-ownership, low-ambiguity environment.
- **Work Model**: **On-site at Base HQ in Austin, Texas.** Proximity to the product and team is central to how they move fast. "Do I need to be based in Texas? Yes."
- **Hiring Speed**: Fast process — aim for 1st conversation to offer in ~2 weeks.
- **Interview Process**: 3-4 hour on-site including technical assessments and behavioral/team conversations. Focus on "how [you] approach problems, communicate tradeoffs, and collaborate."
- **Non-traditional backgrounds**: Explicitly welcome: "We care about what you've built and how you think, not the logos on your resume. Some of our best people came from non-traditional paths."
- **Engineering Culture**: Heavy focus on hardware + software + field operations. Talent sources heavily from Tesla, Anduril, SpaceX — firms known for hardcore engineering and manufacturing excellence. Roles span hardware engineering, firmware, software, manufacturing, field installation/service, operations, growth, and design.
- **Team Composition**: ~29% of employees are in technical roles; ~15% in operations; significant representation of trades workers (11).
- **Notable Perks**: Opportunity to work on physical infrastructure deployed at scale; chance to contribute meaningfully to grid modernization and American energy resilience.
