At Homebase, you’ll join a team that’s bold, fast-moving, and obsessed with helping small businesses thrive. We build with empathy, act with urgency, and take big swings that drive real-world impact. Here, every Homie shows up to raise the bar, support one another, and celebrate wins as a team.

We’re not just building an app—we’re building unstoppable teams. So what do you say, are you in?

We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer to join our Hiring Assistant team—one of the most critical bets in Homebase’s future.

This team is reimagining hiring through AI: from candidate discovery to screening to onboarding. You’ll help build intelligent, agentic workflows that reduce friction for small business owners and help workers find better jobs, faster.

This is a high-impact role where you’ll own end-to-end systems, shape architecture, and drive AI-powered product innovation across the stack (React + Ruby on Rails).

If you’re excited about building AI-native products that operate with speed, autonomy, and real-world impact—we want to hear from you.

  • Help lead the design and development of scalable full stack systems using React (frontend) and Ruby on Rails (backend)

  • Own complex features end-to-end—from ideation to production—focused on Hiring Assistant workflows

  • Architect and evolve systems that support AI-driven hiring experiences (screening, matching, automation)

  • Integrate and apply AI/LLM tools, agents, and automation frameworks to improve product capability and team velocity

  • Partner closely with Product, Design, and Data to deliver fast, high-quality outcomes

  • Drive technical decision-making, including system design, performance, and scalability

  • Improve engineering velocity through tooling, experimentation, and AI-assisted development workflows

  • Mentor other engineers and raise the bar on code quality, testing, and execution
