Senior Software Engineer (Hybrid)

📍Your Impact Starts Here

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.

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

• 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

🚀 The Foundation for Success - These are the experiences and strengths that will set you up for success in this role:

• 4+ years of full stack engineering experience (Ruby on Rails + React strongly preferred)
• Proven ability to design and deliver complex systems end-to-end
• Strong experience with APIs, distributed systems, and relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL)
• Demonstrated ability to retool workflows using AI and measure impact (Mid/Senior IC expectation)
• Hands-on experience or strong curiosity with LLMs, AI agents, or automation tooling
• Strong product mindset—you build for real users, not just technical elegance
• Ability to operate with high velocity and ownership in ambiguous environments
• Actively use AI tools to improve development speed and quality
• Identify and implement opportunities for AI-driven product improvements
• Measure and communicate the impact of AI-enabled changes
• Continuously evolve workflows to leverage new AI capabilities

Bonus points if you bring

• Experience building AI-powered or workflow automation products
• Experience in hiring, HR, or marketplace products
• Exposure to event-driven systems or microservices
