About the role

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.

And now, we’re building something even bigger.

We’re creating a truly personalized AI assistant — an intelligent agent embedded directly into the Homebase platform. This assistant continuously understands what’s happening across a business, proactively completes tasks on behalf of the owner, answers questions in real time, and coaches them on improving performance.

Our vision is for Homebase to become an active operating partner — not reactive software. An intelligent collaborator that ensures owners never miss critical issues, surfaces emerging risks, and unlocks growth opportunities.

This is a deeply cross-functional, high-visibility initiative sitting at the intersection of product, AI, and platform — and it will define the future of Homebase.

So what do you say, are you in?

Your Impact Starts Here

We’re looking for a Frontend Software Engineer to help build the next generation of how customers interact with Homebase.

You’ll play a key role in crafting the user experience layer for our AI-powered assistant — designing intuitive, high-performance interfaces that make intelligence feel seamless, trustworthy, and deeply embedded in daily workflows. This is foundational, customer-facing work that will transform how small businesses run.

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

  • Design and build scalable, performant frontend software used by Homebase customers
  • Develop intuitive UI patterns that bring AI-driven insights and automation directly into customer workflows
  • Partner closely with Product, Design, Engineering, ML Platform, Applied AI, Infrastructure, and Identity teams to ship cohesive AI-powered experiences
  • Help shape frontend architecture that supports real-time intelligence, personalization, and proactive system behavior
  • Empower other frontend teams by improving tooling, workflows, and shared patterns
  • Evaluate and recommend emerging frontend frameworks and technologies
  • Mentor junior engineers and lead by example with clean, maintainable code
  • Contribute to our transition into an AI-first engineering culture by leveraging tools that increase velocity and quality

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

  • 3+ years of frontend development experience, preferably with React.js
  • Strong expertise in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
  • Experience building scalable, maintainable UI systems
  • Familiarity with Git, GitHub, and pull request workflows
  • Experience working in agile, cross-functional product teams
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience

Bonus if you bring:

  • Experience building AI-enabled or data-intensive interfaces
  • Familiarity with real-time systems, personalization, or complex state management
  • A strong product mindset and excitement about building intelligent software

The Homie Way - These principles guide everything we do—from how we work and make decisions to how we show up for each other.

  • Be Customer Obsessed – Solve problems with empathy and creativity.
  • Move Fast, Learn Fast – Experiment, take action, and grow every day.
  • Own Your Impact – Think big, focus on what matters, and make decisions you stand behind.
  • Master Your Craft – Excellence fuels impact—show up, step up, and make your mark.
  • Win Together – Put goals over roles, lead with trust, and connect to our mission and each other.

What We Offer

  • Ownership & Savings: Stock options + TFSA/RRSP with 4% company match
  • Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents
  • Time Flexibility: Flex time off + company holidays + designated focus periods
  • Family Support: Maternity/Parental Leave EI top-up support offered (after 6 months of service)
  • Work Your Way: Work From Anywhere Month + meeting-free weeks yearly
  • Protection Plans: Life insurance + short/long-term disability coverage
  • Workspace Perks: Meals provided, team offsites, and Customer Days
  • Our Hybrid Rhythm: We believe collaboration drives impact. That’s why Tuesdays and Wednesdays are our required in-office days—a time to move faster as a team, build deeper connections, make better decisions, and build together.

What to Expect During the Interview Process

  • Meet the Talent Acquisition team, Ryan H.
  • Meet the Hiring Manager, Kanchana P.
  • Participate in a live Technical Interview
  • Meet the Leadership team
  • Background Check + Offer Stage
  • Welcome to the team, Homie
