About the role

  • This role sits closer to broad market analysis than day-to-day trading.
  • The best candidates combine rigorous data science with real fluency in how wholesale energy markets work, and can turn that analysis into clear, well-vetted recommendations for the rest of the company.

Responsibilities

  • Maintain a tested, heavily vetted opinion on any energy market or product Base is considering selling into
  • Fluency in data science and data visualization - you choose the right analytical approach for categorical versus continuous data, and turn complex network behavior into charts that drive clear business decisions
  • That means building and defending the models that decide which markets and products Base participates in, from real-time arbitrage to multi-year distribution deals.
  • You'll work alongside traders, market operations engineers, and policy leads who bring the same rigor to distribution-scale energy that a trading desk brings to wholesale power.
  • Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.
  • Follow through on commitments and own results.

Nice to have

  • Base's Risk & Trading team turns the grid-service capability of our distributed battery fleet into revenue.
  • The team's calls carry real weight - a mis-modeled coincident peak or an unvetted market opinion shows up directly in Base's book.
  • Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly.
  • Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.
  • First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions.
  • Principles > rules.
  • Operate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.
  • Committed to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge.

Benefits

  • Nice to have: experience deploying machine learning models to production, deep fluency in Python and pandas, and depth in a statistical subfield like extreme value theory or stochastic processes
