UX Engineer (Hybrid)

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?

You'll be part of the Designbase team — the design systems arm of Homebase's EPDD org. Your immediate collaborators are a Senior Design Engineer, a Design Systems Lead Designer, plus a design manager. Together, the three of you are the engine behind a component library that 10+ designers, 10+ PMs, and 120+ engineers across Homebase depend on every day.

Homebase is an AI-first company. That means we use AI to move faster and work smarter — not as a novelty. Expect to work in a team that actively experiments with new tools and shares what works.

Designbase is the foundation that every product team at Homebase builds on. As a Design Engineer on the Designbase team, you'll join a tight-knit systems crew — pairing with our existing Design Engineer and Design Systems lead designer — to close the gap between what designers imagine and what engineers ship, at scale, across web and native app surfaces.

You are a builder. Your craft lives in the component library but isn’t always limited there. You'll co-own Storybook alongside your engineering counterpart — building net-new components, maintaining and evolving what exists, and making sure every implementation reflects the design intent in Figma with precision. Critically, this spans both web and native (Swift, Kotlin) — you're comfortable thinking in both and know where they share logic and where they diverge. The work the three of you do multiplies across every product team at Homebase.

One sprint you're shipping a new form component and writing its usage documentation. The next, you're pairing with your fellow Design Engineer to update an old, gnarly component.. Then you're in Figma with the Design Systems Lead, pressure-testing a new pattern before it gets built. The team is small and the leverage is enormous.

This role is for someone who thrives in a collaborative systems environment, is obsessed with quality at the component level, and gets genuinely excited about the infrastructure that makes everyone else's work better.

These are the key ways you’ll contribute and create impact in this role:

• Experience with Ruby on Rails or backend systems, with an understanding of how frontend systems integrate with backend constraints

• Experience as a founding or early design systems engineer, helping establish systems from the ground up

• Meet the Talent Acquisition team, Megha K.

• Meet the Hiring Manager, Christan F.

• Participate in a Talent Showcase with Cross-functional Partners

• Meet the Head of Product Design, Jan S.

• Background Check + Offer Stage

• Welcome to the team, Homie 🎉
