- You’ve shipped entire end-to-end experiences across web and mobile that start from understanding user needs and contexts
- You can clearly express your desired UX metrics and create a plan to develop and evaluate them
- You have a high degree of visual polish in your UI design and an understanding of communicating detailed interactions with engineers
- You can articulate your design choices with peers and stakeholders clearly and are skilled at giving and receiving design feedback
- You’ve demonstrated that you can balance speed and quality, keeping our customers’ needs central to your work
- You demonstrate a sense of ownership and accountability for the team’s work and outcomes — the good and the bad
- Have a learning mindset. You are intellectually curious with a desire to learn continuously
- You demonstrate humility, knowing that our work isn’t about us; it’s about building in service to our customers. You share credit with team members and welcome collaboration, ideas, and feedback

- You’ll take a leadership role in design critique and help create the long-term vision for the Homebase Design Team, influencing your colleagues through qualitative and quantitative data as well as generally accepted best practices

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.
