We are engineers operators and creatives solving some of the most complex interdisciplinary challenges of our time.

We're looking for a versatile software engineer to build and scale the internal tools and data infrastructure powering Base's supply chain operations. You'll own the platforms that make our supply chain intelligent automated and resilient - spanning supplier management domestic content compliance and production readiness systems.

Embedded within our supply chain team you'll work directly with planners procurement and operations leadership to understand their workflows eliminate bottlenecks and ship software that helps Base move faster. What you build will directly determine whether we can manufacture batteries at scale qualify for critical tax credits and deliver reliable energy to homes across the country.

What You’ll Do

• Contribute to our internally built TMS WMS and MRP — wiring up data pipelines integrations and the models behind them.

• Build and own a supply chain control tower - multi-tier supplier visibility clear-to-build detection and real-time dashboards tracking production readiness and blocked orders.
