About Us
At Homer, we’ve already built the #1 Chrome Extension for property buyers in Australia. Now, we’re transforming our in Beta web app into the most-downloaded mobile app for property - giving buyers unprecedented access to real estate data, campaign history, and collaboration tools.
We believe property data should be transparent, accessible, and empowering. Our small, agile team moves fast, builds with purpose, and loves solving big problems in real estate.
Our company purpose is straightforward: empower people to take control of their property journey and see through the noise.

- Work with the Infrastructure Lead to ensure performance, scalability, and security.
- Implement CI/CD pipelines via github actions.
- Mentor junior developers and participate in recruitment.
- Champion best practices for performance, accessibility, and maintainability.

- Expo/EAS is a plus
Why Join Us?

- Build a product with an engaged, growing user base (currently over 17k WAU).
