At Homebase, you’ll join a team that’s bold, fast-moving, and obsessed with helping small businesses thrive. 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.

Every data and AI feature at Homebase runs on the platform you’ll help build. Our AI-powered product work is moving quick, and the platform underneath it has to move faster.

Manage

Databricks, Unity Catalog, warehouses, and Terraform, with CI/CD and DAB deploys for data infrastructure. Build the serving layer. Ship gRPC services, move batch workloads to real-time inference, and make LLM latency and cost visible.

Grow the ML foundations. Evolve our feature store and MLflow practice, and work with data science to take proofs of concept to production. Be AI-first in how you build. Use AI-assisted tools to build, test, and operate faster, experiment with new capabilities, and share what works with the team.

Work with data engineering, data science, and product engineering to turn customer needs into reliable systems. Join the team’s on-call rotation, which has its own escalation path, and help make it quieter over time. The Foundation for Success - These are the experiences and strengths that will set you up for success in this role: Strong Python and SQL.
