Embedded AI Engineer; Hybrid

• San Francisco San Francisco $147K – $175K
  • Offers Equity

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. So what do you say, are you in?

We’re looking for an Embedded AI Engineer at the E2 level to run embedded engagements with internal teams and deliver durable AI-powered systems that materially improve operational efficiency and business outcomes.

You’ll operate close to the business: translating messy workflows into scoped solutions, building production systems at velocity leveraging modern LLMs and coding agents, and iterating rapidly based on real usage.

These are the key ways you’ll contribute and create impact in this role:

Lead embedded cycles end-to-end: discovery (workflow mapping + KPI definition), build/launch, and scale/standardize.

Ship full-stack internal systems (services, integrations, and UIs) that teams rely on daily; balance speed with maintainability.

Own and evolve shared internal AI software that multiple teams depend on—treating key accelerators as compounding assets.

Establish clear ownership paths for each deliverable: team-owned (shared), co-owned (team-specific), or handoff (when there’s a natural long-term home).

Drive measurable impact: define success metrics up front and iterate until adoption and KPI movement are real.

Create reusable templates, components, and playbooks so the next engagement ships faster and better.

Partner effectively across Engineering + stakeholders: communicate tradeoffs, scope, rollout plans, and change management clearly.

2+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping production systems (or equivalent).

Proven ability to deliver in ambiguity - You can work with subject matter experts to transform messy workflows into a scoped MVP and ship it quickly.

Hands‑on experience building with
LLMs and automating workflows; strong instincts for pragmatic solution design.

Strong communication skills and stakeholder leadership: you can run working sessions, demo clearly, drive adoption, and empathize with your internal customers.

AI fluency (required): You retool workflows with AI, instrument outcomes, and measure impact (time saved, error reduction, adoption, throughput).

Bonus points if you have:

Experience building internal tools and integrating with systems like CRM, ticketing, knowledge bases, and analytics.

Experience operationalizing AI workflows.
