Role
Who you are
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and a record of shipping production software that customers depend on
- Ideal candidate brings a strong background in Ruby on Rails
- Craft you can show: clean design, solid tests, and thoughtful trade-offs
- Comfort working in a high-velocity environment where shipping fast and iterating matters
- Clear communicator who works well with Product, Design, and Data
- Experience with payroll, scheduling, workforce management, or similarly complex business domains is a plus
- Active AI fluency: you use AI tools daily to improve your own work and can show the impact
- Leads implementation of components or services and delivers projects end to end
- Owns estimation, execution, and iterative improvement
- Mentors junior engineers
- Retool your own workflows with AI to raise velocity and quality, and measure the impact
- Share the AI workflows that work with your team and help others try them

- 💜 Belonging at Homebase - We're committed to fostering a welcoming space where every Homie can be their full self. Experience comes in many forms—so if you're excited about this role, even if you don’t meet 100% of the qualifications, we encourage you to apply!
What the job involves
- As a Senior Software Engineer on the Core Product team, you’ll build the products small business owners rely on every single day: Scheduling, HR Management (HRM), and Payroll. This is where a shift becomes a timecard, becomes a paycheck, and where getting it right really matters
- You ship fast, own what you ship, and make the people around you better. You’ll work alongside Product, Design, and Data, and you’ll build the AI-first way. As an E3, you’ll lead projects end to end and grow your impact across the team
- Design, build, and launch features across Scheduling, HRM, and Payroll, and stay with them in production
- Deliver reliable, testable, maintainable code where accuracy matters, from hours worked to dollars paid
- Solve problems where Scheduling, Time Tracking, HRM, and Payroll meet, and make those seams invisible to customers
- Stay close to the small business owners and workers who use what you build, and fix what hurts them first
- Use AI and agentic tools daily across design, code, tests, and reviews, and share the workflows that work
- Give sharp code reviews, advance Homebase engineering standards, and mentor the engineers around you
- Work with PMs, Designers, and Data to shape what we build and how fast we learn
- Lead the implementation of components and services, own estimates and delivery, and bring junior engineers along
Our take
Homebase provides employees and businesses with time tracking applications, with a range of other HR functionality built in. Homebase automates the process of managing employee scheduling and also helps companies improve internal communications.
The company contributes to the reduction of paperwork in an office by turning an array of devices into time clocks that track hours and overtime, while also providing payroll support. This makes it easier for companies to remain in sync, running a more efficient operation as a result.
Given that Homebase's customer base of small businesses is not able to pay a lot for its product, scale is the key driver in the company's future success. With over 100,000 customers already, its significant venture capital backing will ensure that the company will be able to grow (notably, it's investing in Canadian talent) to provide its services on a profitable scale.
