📍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:
