Hi, Future Homie!

At Homebase, you’ll join a team that’s bold, fast-moving, and obsessed with helping small businesses thrive. We build with empathy, act with urgency, and take big swings that drive real-world impact. Here, every Homie shows up to raise the bar, support one another, and celebrate wins as a team.

We’re not just building an app—we’re building unstoppable teams. So what do you say, are you in?

 📍Your Impact Starts Here

As a Software Engineer on the Distribution team based in Denver, you will tackle challenging, novel situations every day and work just as nicely. You will be involved in designing and building key components of our product platform while working closely with a dynamic technical team. This is a full-stack role that demands bold innovation and obsession with quality and customer experience.

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

• Develop comprehensive frontend and backend solutions that integrate seamlessly into our broader service architecture.

• Build and maintain integrations with external platforms (like Clover, Square, and Toast) and partner APIs, ensuring Homebase works seamlessly where our customers already run their businesses.

• Participate in critical technical, design, and product discussions with leaders and peers across our engineering and product teams.

• Innovate and implement new technologies to enhance application performance and development efficiency.

• Collaborate with team members to define, design, and ship new features in a fast-paced environment.

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

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent training, fellowship, or work experience.

• 3+ years of experience in software development with a proven track record in full-stack development.

• Excellent understanding of server-side languages such as Ruby, Python, or Java. Homebase uses Ruby on Rails for most development, and we will expect at least some professional experience for technical interviews.

• Strong hands-on experience with JavaScript, CSS, and frameworks/tools like React, Node.js, and webpack.

• Experience working with third-party APIs and external partners - you've dealt with inconsistent documentation, unexpected API behavior, and the patience required to build reliable integrations with systems outside your control.

• Willingness to use AI to build, learn, and work faster — experimenting with tools, retooling workflows, and sharing those wins with your team.

• A commitment to writing understandable, maintainable, and reusable software.

• Effectiveness in implementing scalable software solutions.

• Contribution to the continuous improvement and innovation at Homebase.

• Excellent analytical and time management skills.

• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
