About the job

Hello, Future Homie!

At Homebase, we are on a mission to empower small businesses to flourish. Our team is dynamic, innovative, and dedicated to making a meaningful impact. We prioritize empathy in our development process, act swiftly, and embrace bold initiatives that create substantial real-world results. Every member of our team is committed to elevating our standards, supporting one another, and celebrating our collective achievements.

We’re not just developing an application; we’re cultivating unstoppable teams. So, what do you think? Are you ready to join us?


Your Impact Begins Here

We are in search of a Staff Engineer (E5) to help shape the architectural future of Homebase’s Core Platform. This pivotal role will span our Identity & Notifications (IN) and Billing & Businesses (BB) teams—two essential domains that facilitate customer access, communication, and transactions within Homebase.


As a senior technical leader, you will play a dual role as both a hands-on contributor and a mentor. Reporting directly to the Senior Manager of Core Platform, you will collaborate with engineering managers and individual contributors to design scalable services in line with our service-oriented architecture (SOA) and event-driven architecture (EDA) vision. Your leadership will guide engineers in adopting best practices while identifying opportunities to enhance reliability, performance, and developer velocity across our systems.


This is a crucial position for a seasoned platform engineer who is passionate about enabling teams, refining architectures, and tackling complex system challenges that yield impactful results at scale.

  • Act as the technical liaison between the Identity & Notifications and Billing & Businesses teams, ensuring architectural integrity and dependability.

  • Lead the design and implementation of new patterns aligned with SOA and EDA.

  • Mentor engineers from both teams, enhancing their design, debugging, and systems thinking capabilities.

  • Collaborate with Engineering Managers and Product Managers to clarify technical requirements, define project scopes, and sequence foundational tasks.

  • Identify system bottlenecks, advocate for architectural enhancements, and implement practical solutions.

  • Steer the technical direction of high-impact projects, particularly those introducing SOA/EDA patterns into our legacy Rails systems.

  • Promote an AI-first development approach: utilize AI tools to enhance code quality, design exploration, and delivery speed.
