⬇️ A bit about us ⬇️ 🌏 At Basis, we work tremendously hard to radically accelerate the clean-energy revolution. We want to create an enduring positive impact for the planet, the people who inhabit it, and the future generations who will depend on it. 🚀 Our first leap towards fulfilling this purpose is redesigning the electrical infrastructure that homes depend on. Its a small step in our master plan but an important one if society is to accelerate efforts to combat climate change and dampen rising household costs simultaneously. 🌈 To get there, we are developing highly desirable hardware products by applying systems-level thinking to solve complex, multidimensional, and human-centered problems. So far, it has been an enjoyable but extremely challenging journey. 🤗 But innovative hardware will not be our only trick. Basis will redefine the homes interface, sit at the forefront of ambient computing, and effortlessly bring human warmth to tepid technology. ⬇️ Come and join an awesome team, solving challenging problems! ⬇️ 🌚 We are hiring rapidly in Operations, Engineering, Embedded Development, System Architecture, Software Architecture, and Data Science.

Clinics don’t just miss calls. They miss communications. Heron is the patient communications and workflow platform built for modern clinics. We bring every patient conversation, from first call to follow-up, into one single system. ✔ 24/7 AI call handling (including overflow and after-hours) ✔ Unified inbox across channels ✔ PMS-integrated bookings ✔ Duplicate message detection The result? Fewer interruptions. Less admin chaos. More time for patients. Where every patient conversation lives, so your clinic can focus on care.
