Sr. DevOps Engineer

At Homebot, we believe every team member plays a vital role in bringing our mission to life. We do this by keeping a clear focus on culture, engagement, and creating an environment where people are valued and can thrive.

Homebot is a Homeownership Platform for Lenders and Real Estate, Title & Insurance Agents that drives Client retention and Partner referrals. Homebot’s “special sauce” is that it helps homeowners and homebuyers (aka: our customer’s clients) to build wealth through homeownership. Our customers include Mortgage Lenders, Real Estate Agents, Banks, Credit Unions, Loan Servicers, Insurance agencies and Title Companies.

Our engineering infrastructure team is strong, motivated, and growing. What we’re missing is deep, hands-on experience building production systems across multiple cloud platforms. We need a Senior DevOps Engineer who has done real work in both AWS and GCP. This isn’t just a heads-down ticket-closer role. You’ll be a teacher, an architect, and a thought partner to the rest of the organization. You’ll lead through influence: proposing better patterns, pairing with engineers, running design discussions, and raising the bar on how we think about cloud-native systems.

If this opportunity gets you pumped - perfect! Apply below and we look forward to speaking with you very soon!

This is a full-time position. Denver-based candidates will work from our Denver, CO office on a hybrid schedule. We’re also open to remote candidates anywhere in the US, with the expectation that you’ll travel to Denver roughly four times per year for team onsites. We are accepting applications on an ongoing basis.

Compensation Philosophy: Homebot is committed to offering competitive pay and benefits that reflect industry standards and individual expertise. Compensation is determined based on a variety of factors, including skills, qualifications, and professional experience. In addition to base salary and bonus, all full-time employees are eligible to receive Equity Appreciation Rights (Stock Units) as part of their total compensation package, providing an opportunity to share in Homebot’s long-term growth and success. The number of units and vesting schedule are typically determined within the first 90 days of employment, based on role, level, and contribution.

Compensation: This role has an annual targeted base salary range of $145,000 — $170,000, plus an annual 10% performance bonus target.

The impact you’ll make by joining us:

Within 1 month you will:

• Learn our platform infrastructure, developer tooling, and deployment patterns

• Identify architectural gaps and propose concrete improvements, especially where multi-cloud experience applies

• Pair with your peers on active infrastructure and Developer Experience work, building trust and sharing context both ways

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

• The ability to teach. You explain complex systems clearly, you’re patient in pairing sessions, and you make the people around you better engineers.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills. You’ll be proposing architecture, writing ADRs, and leading design discussions.

• 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.
