Algorithms Engineer

About this role

Base seeks an Algorithms Engineer to design and deploy control algorithms for a distributed battery fleet operating in wholesale energy markets. You'll develop solutions for real-time energy arbitrage, grid services, and fleet coordination while working closely with the trading desk on live market operations.

What you'll do

• Build algorithms for distributed battery fleet dispatch in wholesale energy markets (ERCOT, etc.)
• Integrate market operations algorithms with grid-service control loops for voltage regulation and peak shaving
• Participate in fleet scheduling and on-call engineering rotation
• Implement controls for aggregated battery deployments at distribution system voltages
• Analyze telemetry and performance data using SQL, Grafana, and other tools
• Drive long-term development of automated control systems across the company

What they're looking for

• Algorithmic control systems for physical systems
• Model predictive control or reinforcement learning
• Markov decision processes
• Signal processing
• SQL and data analysis tools
• Wholesale energy market operations knowledge
• Experience with Grafana or similar monitoring tools
• Strong communication and data-driven problem solving
