Quantitative Developer Intern

About Base

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.

About the Role

We’re looking for a highly motivated, intellectually curious, mission-driven software engineer to join our Markets team. As an intern, you’ll work on high-impact problems critical to Base’s success and deliver solutions alongside full-time team members.

What You'll Do

Algorithms & Optimization:

At Base, we operate distributed energy resources that trade in real-time electricity and ancillary service markets. You’ll help design and implement sequential decision algorithms that determine when and how to trade. Responsibilities will include:

• Designing algorithms for trading a fleet of energy storage resources in ERCOT.

• Validating physics- and economics-based models in a simulation environment.
