The posting

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 Senior Software Engineer on the Core Product team, you’ll build the products small business owners rely on every single day: Scheduling, HR Management (HRM), and Payroll. This is where a shift becomes a timecard, becomes a paycheck, and where getting it right really matters.

You ship fast, own what you ship, and make the people around you better. You’ll work alongside Product, Design, and Data, and you’ll build the AI-first way. As an E3, you’ll lead projects end to end and grow your impact across the team.

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

- Ship end to end: Design, build, and launch features across Scheduling, HRM, and Payroll, and stay with them in production

- Build it right: Deliver reliable, testable, maintainable code where accuracy matters, from hours worked to dollars paid

- Connect the domains: Solve problems where Scheduling, Time Tracking, HRM, and Payroll meet, and make those seams invisible to customers

- Be Customer Obsessed: Stay close to the small business owners and workers who use what you build, and fix what hurts them first

- Build AI-first: Use AI and agentic tools daily across design, code, tests, and reviews, and share the workflows that work

- Raise the bar: Give sharp code reviews, advance Homebase engineering standards, and mentor the engineers around you

- Partner closely: Work with PMs, Designers, and Data to shape what we build and how fast we learn

- Your scope: Lead the implementation of components and services, own estimates and delivery, and bring junior engineers along

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

- Strong software engineering fundamentals and a record of shipping production software that customers depend on

- Ideal candidate brings a strong background in Ruby on Rails

- Craft you can show: clean design, solid tests, and thoughtful trade-offs

- Comfort working in a high-velocity environment where shipping fast and iterating matters

- Clear communicator who works well with Product, Design, and Data

- Experience with payroll, scheduling, workforce management, or similarly complex business domains is a plus

- Active AI fluency: you use AI tools daily to improve your own work and can show the impact

- Leads implementation of components or services and delivers projects end to end

- Owns estimation, execution, and iterative improvement

- Mentors junior engineers

🤖 AI Fluency Expectations - Homebase is an AI-first company. In this role, we expect you to:

- Retool your own workflows with AI to raise velocity and quality, and measure the impact

- Share the AI workflows that work with your team and help others try them

- Know when AI creates real leverage and when it adds noise, and keep human judgment on every change you ship

🤝 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

- ⏰ Paid Time Off: Flexible PTO + company holidays + designated focus periods

- 🤖 AI access, for real: We invest in builders and believe that curiosity shouldn't have a paywall. That means you'll have access to paid AI tools with minimal restrictions, so you can build, experiment, and level up your craft.

- 👶 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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
