Come join one of the best places to work in Denver! Are you an engineer that loves building elegant, well-tested, scaleable, maintainable applications? Our stacks are modern versions of Ruby on Rails/Ruby on Jets, React, Ember, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Redis, with some Node, Go, and some other technologies mixed in.
We are scaling rapidly and are looking for a Lead Front-End Engineer to join our growing Engineering team at Homebot. This role is for an experienced engineering leader who is passionate about enabling a team of engineers with back-end and front-end skills to be successful, both professionally long-term and in the day-to-day. You will work closely with product and design to plan development efforts. You will also support team members through mentorship and 1:1s. Additionally, as a code contributor yourself, you’ll be able to support sprint efforts, spike out work supporting upcoming sprints, and help influence best practices! Our team leads’ responsibilities are roughly split with 50% time in code, 25% planning, and 25% in management.
We are growing and building new teams! Each team’s domain varies and can require different strengths. Our teams are generally full stack in their deliveries so strong experience in both backend and frontend is valuable. This role is for a team that is primarily front-end and we are looking for a lead who is similarly leaning that way in experience.
This is a full-time position based in our Denver, CO office (hybrid working model), or fully remote* within the United States.
Compensation: This role has an annual targeted base salary range of $160,000.00 - $185,000.00, plus an annual 10% performance bonus target and Homebot equity. For additional details on our total benefits package, please review the section “Why Homebot?” at the end of this job description.

Experience & Qualifications:

- Strong background in React and/or other front-end frameworks (Ember, Vue, etc.)
- Some experience in Rails and/or other back-end frameworks (Sinatra, Django, etc.), including working with production APIs and databases
- High proficiency in your domain(s) to support your role as a mentor and solution architect for your sprints. Standard language practices, patterns, and common packages are second nature. You’re on top of new advancements in the communities to advocate for opportunities to improve.
- Strong interest in mentoring and identifying plans for professional development for team members
- Passionate about developing pragmatic solutions and enabling the team to contribute to the problem solving process
- Comfortable in Jest, RSpec, or similar testing frameworks and understand solid testing principles.
Bonus Points:

More about Homebot
Problem we’re solving:
The US homeownership market is the largest asset class in the world at $30 trillion but is essentially an “unmanaged” asset that causes people to leave billions of dollars on the table every year. At the same time, loan officers and real estate agents spent $20 billion a year on desperate attempts to maintain mindshare and loyalty with their past clients in hopes of gaining more repeat and referral business.
Our solution:
Homebot is a client-for-life portal that maximizes repeat and referral business for lenders by empowering consumers to build wealth through homeownership. The award-winning client portal delivers personalized, actionable intelligence throughout the entire homeownership lifecycle to every client and prospect. With an average 50% monthly engagement rate, Homebot ensures lenders and agents remain the trusted advisors that consumers rely on to make informed decisions about the largest asset they may ever own, their home.
It’s definitely a game-changer and we are truly making an impact. Having launched in 2016, we're over 100 Homebotters strong and expect to continue that growth throughout the year. Join us!
