About the role

This role goes beyond designing individual features.
We're looking for someone who thinks in systems, not just screens.
If you're excited by designing systems instead of one-off screens, enjoy working closely with users to solve real operational problems, and want to help shape how software gets built at Base, we'd love to hear from you.

Design intuitive internal tools that improve workflows across Operations, Deployments, Growth, and other teams across Base.
Work across multiple efforts at once and drive clarity in ambiguous problem spaces.
Own and evolve our internal design system, creating reusable components, interaction patterns, and documentation that scale across products.
Design systems that enable engineers, product managers, and AI coding tools to build consistent, high-quality products without requiring design involvement in every implementation.
Partner closely with Operations and Engineering from early discovery through implementation, ensuring solutions are both thoughtful and practical.
Raise the quality bar across our internal products through thoughtful product design, strong visual craft, and a systems-first approach.
Strong systems thinker who naturally looks beyond individual features to build reusable patterns, scalable frameworks, and durable product foundations.

5+ years of experience designing digital products, with a portfolio demonstrating strong product thinking, interaction design, and visual craft.
Strong understanding of modern product development, with the ability to work effectively across Design, Operations, and Engineering.

Base is America's next-generation power company.
We're rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization-electricity-by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today's fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system.
We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.
The Internal Tools team builds the software that powers how Base operates.
From deploying batteries and supporting members to enabling field operations and internal workflows, the products we build are used by employees across the company every day.
Our goal isn't just to ship features.
We're building the platform that allows Base to scale.
That means investing in thoughtful product design, strong design systems, and software that makes complex work feel simple.
The best solutions aren't the ones that require constant design involvement.
They're the ones that create the right structure, patterns, and guardrails so great products can be built consistently as the company grows.
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.
Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge.
