Base Power Software Engineer, Backend role building Go services and APIs for the Base Power Platform to operate a distributed battery fleet. Responsible for designing multi-tenant APIs, telemetry ingestion, and operating services end-to-end on AWS.

Responsibilities

The Utilities team builds the Base Power Platform. Base Operators is its control plane for monitoring fleet state, issuing commands, setting schedules, configuring partitions, and reporting performance. The platform supports Distribution Deferral, Bulk Power Capacity, and Speed to Power across regulated utility markets.
This is a services-first backend role on AWS. You will design Go services and typed APIs, move fleet telemetry at scale, and build the multi-tenant primitives that let utility partners integrate with Base without bespoke engineering. Your code sits between software decisions and physical batteries in homes — correctness matters.
Build the Go services and Connect/proto APIs behind Base Operators: fleet state, dispatch, schedules, partitions, and performance reporting.
Design and operate the Utilities telemetry serving path: ingesting battery data at fleet scale and serving it fresh and queryable to Base Operators, reporting, and partner APIs.
Build multi-tenant, partner-facing APIs: authentication, tenant isolation, rate limiting, versioning, and self-serve onboarding.
Make control paths safe by construction: idempotency, retries, backpressure, data consistency, and complete audit trails.
Own your services in AWS end to end: infrastructure as code, managed queues and databases, deployment, and observability.
Partner with product engineers on API shape frontends can trust: pagination, error semantics, generated clients, and predictable performance.
Partner with Trading and Markets on dispatch, settlement data, and performance guarantees.
Debug production from logs, traces, and metrics — and fix problems permanently, not repeatedly.
What You'll Bring
5+ years building production backend systems. We use Go heavily, but care more about systems judgment than a specific language.
