Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure/Developer Tooling (Hybrid)

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 Senior Software Engineer (Infrastructure/Developer Tooling) who loves building the tools that make other engineers more effective. You'll be a key contributor to Homebase's platform infrastructure team—writing the internal tooling, automation, and services that power how our engineering organization builds and ships software every day.

This is a role for someone who thinks of internal engineers as customers, cares deeply about developer experience, and brings strong software fundamentals to the infrastructure space.

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

Build, maintain, and improve internal developer tools that streamline engineering workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and deployments

Own the implementation of well-scoped features end-to-end—from writing the code to monitoring it in production

Identify and address friction points in the developer experience, using data and metrics to prioritize improvements

Contribute to the reliability and scalability of our AWS-based infrastructure within defined domains

Write clean, testable, maintainable code that upholds and advances Homebase engineering standards

Collaborate cross-functionally with platform, security, and product teams to understand requirements and make sure your work fits the broader picture

Actively participate in on-call rotations, helping identify and resolve infrastructure issues

Collaborate with teammates and begin influencing engineering decisions on your team

Use AI tools to drive personal effectiveness and improve your workflows

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

5+ years of experience in Software Development or Infrastructure Engineering—your roots are in writing software, and your infra experience grows from there

Strong development background in Ruby or Golang —you're comfortable writing production-quality code and building internal services in at least one of these languages

Hands-on experience building internal platforms or tooling that other systems rely on —you've treated it like a product, using data and feedback to drive what you build next

Genuine interest in developer experience: you think about the internal engineer as a customer and are energized by reducing friction for your teammates

Some hands-on experience with AWS or cloud infrastructure in production—you don't need to be an infrastructure expert, but you understand core concepts and can navigate cloud environments with confidence

Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred) and containerized application deployment

Experience with CI/CD systems and an understanding of how software delivery pipelines work
