About Honey Homes
Honey Homes makes homeownership effortless. We proactively handle members’ everyday to-dos, ongoing maintenance, and surprise repairs by pairing each member with a dedicated handyperson and a simple app to coordinate it all. Our mission is to replace hassle and stress with the joy of comfortable living, and we’re building the technology to make that magic happen at scale.
We’re growing fast, serving over 3,000 happy members, and backed by top investors including Khosla Ventures, Pear VC, and the co-founders of DoorDash, Lyft, and Opendoor.
The role
As one of the first engineers on the team, you’ll have outsized ownership and impact. You’ll shape the foundation of Honey Homes’ technology, from our member and handyperson apps to the internal platform (“Honey Homes OS”) that powers our nationwide operations. You’ll have the chance to influence product direction, architecture, and engineering culture from day one.
We’re looking for a thoughtful, full-stack generalist who loves taking ownership of big, ambiguous problems and shipping elegant solutions. You’ll collaborate closely with teammates across the company to create the seamless experience that defines Honey Homes.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in small, high-trust teams, where decisions are fast, ideas turn into features in days, and your work directly affects thousands of members’ daily lives.
This role is fully remote, with the option to work from our Oakland, CA headquarters.
About you
You’re an experienced full-stack developer. You’ve built and shipped meaningful products across the stack. Familiarity with PostgreSQL, Docker, TypeScript, Google Cloud, or React will help you contribute immediately, but ability and excitement to quickly learn is much more important to us.
You’re a self-starter and act as an owner. You’re excited to own critical features of our product, and have thrived in environments with a large amount of responsibility and autonomy before. (Bonus points for being a previous founder or early employee at a rapidly-growing startup.)
You’re energized by ambiguity and complexity. We are a fast-moving startup tackling complicated problems, and you’ve been successful on similar teams. You have the ability to independently balance speed and scrappiness with long-term technical excellence.
You have a growth mindset and are motivated to learn and improve your craft in this role. (Bonus points for passion about home maintenance and improvement.)
