Software Engineer, Infrastructure

About this role

Base seeks a Platform Engineer to design and operate shared infrastructure, internal platforms, and core services that enable hardware-integrated systems across the company. You'll work across backend, hardware, and infrastructure teams to remove bottlenecks, establish architectural standards, and ensure reliability and safety in a distributed battery network powering the next-generation grid.

What you'll do

• Define service interfaces, deployment patterns, and operational standards for hardware-connected systems
• Consolidate fragmented implementations across backend, device, and hardware teams through code and architectural changes
• Design and maintain shared platforms and infrastructure that multiple engineering teams depend on in production
• Build tooling, defaults, and CI/CD systems that simplify local and remote development at scale
• Document platform architecture, design decisions, and engineering practices to propagate standards across the organization
• Introduce infrastructure patterns supporting distributed services, production workloads, and hardware integration

What they're looking for

• Backend or infrastructure engineering in cloud-based environments
• Modern cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar)
• Programming in Go, Python, or similar backend languages
• Distributed systems fundamentals and service-oriented architectures
• CI/CD system design and software delivery workflows
• Containerized workloads and orchestration
• Cross-functional collaboration and technical communication
