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.
And now, we’re building something even bigger.
We’re creating a truly personalized AI assistant — an intelligent agent embedded directly into the Homebase platform. This assistant continuously understands what’s happening across a business, proactively completes tasks on behalf of the owner, answers questions in real time, and coaches them on improving performance.
Our vision is for Homebase to become an active operating partner — not reactive software. An intelligent collaborator that ensures owners never miss critical issues, surfaces emerging risks, and unlocks growth opportunities.
This is a deeply cross-functional, high-visibility initiative sitting at the intersection of product, AI, and platform — and it will define the future of Homebase.
So what do you say, are you in?
