Job description

Want to move fast, build with AI, and ship products that reach millions? We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to help build and grow our applications while keeping the platform fast, reliable, and scalable.

Homebot is a homeownership platform for lenders and real estate, title, and insurance professionals that drives client retention and referrals. We help homeowners build wealth through homeownership while keeping our customers connected to their clients for life.

This is a full-time, hybrid position based out of our Denver office. The team works in office on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

• You build with AI. You use AI-powered dev tools and agentic workflows daily, and you own the code you ship and the decisions behind it.

• You build for quality. You write clean, testable code with strong typing and runtime validation. You test behavior over implementation.

• You care how it runs, and how it's used. You instrument what you build with monitoring, logging, tracing, and product analytics like Amplitude.

• You know your way around data. Solid grasp of relational databases (PostgreSQL, SQL).

• You're a collaborative teammate. You communicate clearly, give and take thoughtful code reviews, and enjoy working with product and design.

Bonus Points

• Familiarity with the home buying, lending, and real estate process

• Experience with microservice architectures and decomposing monoliths

• A track record of shipping AI-powered or agentic features

• Hands-on with GraphQL at scale

• Exposure to data tooling like Snowflake, Airflow, or dbt
