Within 3 months you will:

• Own and drive at least one architecture decision that improves platform reliability

• or developer experience

• Be the team’s go-to resource for cloud-native design questions across AWS and GCP

• Run design discussions and teach the team patterns you’ve seen work (and fail) on other platforms

Within 6 months you will:

• Ship infrastructure improvements that measurably improve developer experience or platform stability

• Influence how we evaluate and adopt cloud services bringing a cross-platform lens the team doesn’t have today

Within 1 year you will:

• Be a technical leader on the infrastructure team shaping our cloud strategy and

• mentoring engineers

• Own major platform systems end-to-end from design through operation

• Have made the rest of the team materially better at cloud-native engineering through teaching and collaboration

Who You’ll Collaborate With:

• This role reports to Jem Zornow Engineering Manager.

• You will work closely with your peers in DevOps/Infra as well as other engineering teams and department leaders

• You will be part of a 6-person hybrid-remote team

What You Bring:

• Production experience building and operating systems on both AWS and GCP. Not just “familiar with” but real operational ownership. This is our biggest capability gap and the primary reason this role exists. Beyond that:

• An independent entrepreneurial mindset

• Deep experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar) in production environments

• Strong working knowledge of containerization: Docker Kubernetes Helm

• Experience with cloud-native service architecture not just deploying apps but designing how services talk to each other scale and fail gracefully

• Experience in a startup or high-growth environment where you had to build not just maintain

• Experience succeeding on a hybrid-remote team

• We care more about the depth and velocity of your experience than the number of years on your resume. If you’ve packed serious cloud infrastructure work into five years that counts.

Bonus Points:

• You are familiar with Real Estate and/or Mortgage Lending and the different stakeholders involved with homeownership

Characteristics of a Homebot Senior DevOps Engineer

• Patient and generous with knowledge. You genuinely enjoy helping other engineers level up.

• Opinionated but collaborative. You have a point of view on how things should be built and you hold it loosely enough to be changed by good arguments.

• AI-native. You use AI tooling as an integral part of your workflow and you’re excited about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with them.

• Curious by default. You test assumptions ask why things are the way they are and dig until you understand.

• Bias toward action. You’d rather prototype something and learn than debate in a doc for two weeks.

• Comfortable with ambiguity. Startup infrastructure means you’ll sometimes define the problem before you solve it.

• Humble about what you don’t know confident about what you do.
