About The Position

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