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
We’re looking for a Fullstack Growth Engineer II who thrives at the intersection of product thinking, engineering execution, and experimentation.
You’ll independently own backend-first product and growth initiatives that help customers discover value faster, engage more deeply, and get more from Homebase. Working primarily in Ruby on Rails while contributing across the stack, you'll partner closely with Product, Design, and Data teams to identify opportunities, ship experiments, and improve customer outcomes.
This is a unique opportunity to shape customer experiences that directly influence growth while helping define how modern AI-enabled product development operates at Homebase. If you love moving quickly, learning from data, and shipping meaningful customer impact, we want to hear from you.
These are the key ways you'll contribute and create impact in this role:
Design, build, and maintain backend services, APIs, application logic, and data models in Ruby on Rails
Own and deliver growth initiatives from concept through launch and iteration
Build customer-facing product experiences across the Homebase platform
Contribute to React and TypeScript applications where needed to deliver end-to-end solutions
Design, build, and evaluate experiments that improve activation, engagement, retention, and monetization
Partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and Engineering stakeholders to identify and prioritize opportunities
Leverage analytics and experimentation data to inform product decisions
Implement and improve experimentation frameworks, analytics instrumentation, and growth tooling
Use AI tools and automation to improve engineering velocity and team effectiveness
Drive technical quality through testing, code reviews, operational excellence, and thoughtful architecture
Mentor junior engineers through collaboration, feedback, and example
Balance speed and quality while maintaining strong customer outcomes
🚀 The Foundation for Success - These are the experiences and strengths that will set you up for success in this role:
2–5 years of software engineering experience building customer-facing web applications
Strong professional experience building backend systems and customer-facing applications with Ruby on Rails
Working knowledge of React, TypeScript, and modern frontend development practices
Ability to contribute effectively across the stack while maintaining a backend-first focus
Strong product sense and ability to evaluate tradeoffs through both customer and business lenses
Demonstrated experience using AI tools to improve engineering workflows and productivity
Experience partnering cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Data teams
Strong communication skills and the ability to operate effectively in ambiguity
Ability to collaborate in person at the Toronto hub on Tuesdays and Wednesdays
Bonus points if you bring:
Experience working in a product-led growth environment
Experience with experimentation platforms and A/B testing frameworks
Experience with feature flagging systems
Experience using analytics tools to evaluate product outcomes
Experience building internal tooling that improves product velocity or experimentation workflows
🤖 AI-First Expectations - We expect engineers to thoughtfully incorporate AI into their daily workflows and continuously evaluate how new tools can improve productivity, software quality, and delivery speed. In this role, you will:
Use AI tools to accelerate development, research, debugging, testing, and documentation
Measure and improve the effectiveness of AI-enabled workflows
Identify opportunities to automate repetitive work and improve engineering efficiency
Share best practices and help teammates improve their use of AI tooling
Contribute to a culture of experimentation and continuous learning
