Role
Who you are
- 5+ years building production React applications with strong TypeScript, modern React patterns, and frontend architecture skills
- Experience with Redux for state management and Jest for testing—both are core to our daily work
- Proven ability to design scalable component systems with attention to performance, accessibility, and maintainability
- Strong design intuition—you translate Figma designs into polished, pixel-perfect implementations that feel effortless to use
- Track record of shipping complex features end-to-end with measurable customer impact
- You mentor through code reviews, pairing, and technical discussions that elevate the team
- AI-forward mindset—you use tools like Cursor or Claude Code to move faster and are curious about AI-enhanced workflows
- You thrive collaborating cross-functionally in fast-paced environments, navigating ambiguity with a bias toward action
- Bonus: Experience with REST APIs or Ruby on Rails backends
- 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
- We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer who will own and evolve core user experiences that small businesses rely on daily—team rosters, compliance, HR, scheduling, and onboarding flows
- You’ll help shape our modern React (TypeScript) architecture, drive technical excellence, and build intuitive, performant, and accessible interfaces at scale
- You’ll join the Schedule Builder (SB) and Human Resource Management (HRM) domain, which together power how small business managers manage their people and their schedules
- HRM focuses on everything about a business’s team at a given location—who they are, what they do, and how they grow. SB drives how those teams are staffed, how shifts are created, and how AI helps business owners manage time more efficiently
- Lead complex frontend projects: Take ownership from technical design to production delivery, driving forward high-impact experiences in the SB & HRM domain
- Build best-in-class UI: Develop responsive, accessible, and performant features using modern React, TypeScript, and GraphQL/REST APIs
- Evolve our frontend architecture: Help modernize our codebase, refine component patterns, improve performance, and influence long-term technical direction
- Mentor and raise the bar: Guide engineers through code reviews, pairing, and design discussions. Help level up the team in React, testing, and system design
- Build with AI: Use AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code) to move faster and smarter, and contribute to new AI-powered UX flows where it makes sense
- Collaborate deeply: Partner with product, design, and backend teams to deliver seamless, user-focused experiences that eliminate busywork for our customers
Our take
Homebase provide 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.
