About Base

Base is building the foundation of American power. The grid is the largest, most complex machine in the world. Yet it’s aging, struggling to keep up with today’s demand, and is unprepared for our electrified future.

Base is modernizing the grid as the first engineering-led, technology-driven power company. We’re deploying a nationwide network of distributed batteries that strengthens critical infrastructure and saves Americans money.

Our team of engineers, operators, creatives, technicians, and electricians design and deploy systems at speed. If you want to tackle the problem that will define this century and shape the future of American energy, now is the time. Join us.

About the Role

We are looking for our first dedicated Product Designer to shape how people experience the future of home energy. This is a senior-level role focused on shaping the experience of our consumer-facing platforms, from our mobile app to our web touchpoints.

You’ll turn one of life’s most complex systems—electricity—into experiences that feel simple, human, and empowering. From navigating an outage to supporting the grid to the onboarding flow, the products you design will transform stress into confidence and complexity into clarity.

You will set the standard for product design at Base, building experiences that are functional, educational, and beautiful.

• Partner closely with engineering to ensure high-quality execution and attention to detail.

• Balance multiple projects and priorities, moving quickly while maintaining craft.

• Contribute to and evolve design patterns and systems that create seamless experiences across products.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to test ideas, learn from members, and deliver impactful features.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of product design experience in consumer products.

• A portfolio that demonstrates excellent problem-solving skills, thoughtful interaction design, world-class visual craft, and the ability to design full product experiences.

• Mastery of Figma and design systems, with a track record of shipping pixel-perfect UI.

• Experience driving success across the full product process, from discovery and research through highly polished, delightful UI’s.

• The ability to balance speed with craft, making smart trade-offs while upholding world-class quality.

• Strong communication skills and comfort working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

• Interest in energy, climate, or hardware software experiences.

Our Values

We’re building a winning culture and we’re looking for people who are up for the challenge. Here’s what we expect from day one:

• In-Person Only: We work full-time in the office. No hybrid. No remote.

• Challenge the Status Quo: Question assumptions. Fix broken systems. Principles > rules.

• Move Fast: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.

• Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble. Challenge ideas–including your own.

• Own the Outcome: Take full responsibility. Deliver results. No excuses.

• Act Like an Owner: Be resourceful, mindful of impact, and committed to the business.

• Be Decisive: Drive clarity. Make bold calls with imperfect info.

• Bring the Intensity: This is not a 9-to-5. We're building something hard which requires real commitment.
