📍Your Impact Starts Here
We’re looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer II 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 contribute to end-to-end systems, help 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:
Support the design and development of scalable full-stack systems using React (frontend) and Ruby on Rails (backend)
Build complex features end-to-end—from ideation to production—focused on Hiring Assistant workflows
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
Support technical decision-making, including system design, performance, and scalability
Improve engineering velocity through tooling, experimentation, and AI-assisted development workflows
Be an advocate to raise the bar on code quality, testing, and execution among your colleague engineers
🚀 The Foundation for Success - These are the experiences and strengths that will set you up for success in this role:
2+ 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
Comfortable collaborating in-office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (hub-based hybrid model)
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
