Frontend Software Engineer

Frontend Software Engineer at Homebase

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
