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.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• 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

• 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

📌 Required Qualifications

• 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
• Ability to use observability tools to identify, debug, and resolve issues in production
• Ability to work across team boundaries with platform, security, and product teams—keeping the right people informed and your work rarely landing as a surprise
• Strong sense of ownership—you deliver on commitments, monitor what you ship, and follow through on risks to timely delivery
• Growth mindset: you integrate feedback, support teammates' development, and communicate effectively

• Family Support: Up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave (after 6 months of service)
• Protection Plans: Life insurance + short/long-term disability coverage
• Work Your Way: Work From Anywhere Month + meeting-free weeks yearly
