Principal Quality Engineer

About LawnStarter

LawnStarter is the nation's leading on-demand marketplace for lawn care and related services, with over $150M in annual bookings. We're expanding beyond lawn care to become the one-stop shop for all home services.

About Engineering Quality at LawnStarter

Our QA team is growing, and we're investing real money in better test coverage. We already have shared quality standards and a QA squad that organizes itself horizontally across teams. What we don't have is someone dedicated to owning that vision: every QA is heads-down on their own team, so nobody has the room to drive the standards forward, unify how the squad works, or push the state of the art. That's the gap this role fills. It's not a nice-to-have we're adding because things are going well. It's the structure and leadership we need to make what we've already built actually compound.

The Role

You'll be LawnStarter's first Principal Quality Engineer, reporting directly to the Head of Engineering. We already have quality standards, working CI/CD gates, and AI tooling in the mix. Nobody owns the vision behind all of it, drives it forward, or leads the QA squad that keeps it running. You will.

About LawnStarter

LawnStarter is the nation's leading on-demand marketplace for lawn care and outdoor services, with over $750M in bookings. We're expanding beyond lawn care to become the one-stop shop for home services: three brands (LawnStarter, Lawn Love, Home Gnome), one shared platform.

About Product at LawnStarter

Our BHAG: 1+ job per household, every year. Getting there means winning on four fronts at once: more customers, more Pros, excellent service experience for both sides, and an AI-run company that moves faster than its size should allow. We've organized around those bets as swim lanes: New Customer Acquisition, Strengthen Supply, Service Experience, and AI & Operating Excellence.

The Role

This is the most senior individual contributor seat in Product, with no direct reports. You'll work as a peer to the leaders of Ops, Data, Design, and Engineering.

Data Governance and Platform Manager

About LawnStarter

LawnStarter is the nation's leading on-demand marketplace for lawn care and outdoor services, with over $150M in annual bookings. We're expanding beyond lawn care to become the one-stop shop for all home services - operating across three brands (LawnStarter, Lawn Love, Home Gnome) on a single shared platform.

About Analytics at LawnStarter

We're a small, senior analytics team supporting the entire company - product, marketing, operations, and finance all run on the data we serve. The foundation is solid: a centralized Redshift data warehouse where all source data lands, modeled in dbt and orchestrated by Airflow, with Segment feeding event data in. You won't be stitching scattered sources together - the platform exists; your job is to make it trustworthy and keep it that way. We're mid-migration to Lightdash as our single BI platform, replacing Tableau and Metabase.

Here's the honest gap: everyone on the team today is an analyst. Data quality, tracking standards, and platform hygiene get done as side work, squeezed between analyses. Nobody wakes up thinking about them - which is exactly the job we're hiring for.

About LawnStarter

LawnStarter is the nation's leading on-demand marketplace for lawn care and related services, with over $150M in annual bookings. We're expanding beyond lawn care to become the one-stop shop for all outdoor home services - pest control, pool cleaning, window cleaning, and more.

About Engineering at LawnStarter

Our engineering team builds the platform that connects hundreds of thousands of homeowners with over 70,000 active service pros. We operate three brands (LawnStarter, Lawn Love, HomeGnome) on shared infrastructure, and we're profitable and growing. Engineering here is fast - we ship constantly, we own our systems end-to-end, and we don't tolerate "not my problem." We have strong processes and existing engineering managers, so you're not building from scratch. You're raising the bar.

The Role

We're growing, and that means adding engineering leadership capacity to support new initiatives. You'll lead cross-functional delivery teams of 4–5 engineers, reporting to our Head of Engineering. Your job is to make sure your team ships reliably, grows professionally, and doesn't become a bottleneck as LawnStarter scales into new service verticals.

About LawnStarter

LawnStarter is the nation's leading on-demand marketplace for lawn care and outdoor services, with over $150M in annual bookings. We're expanding beyond lawn care to become the one-stop shop for all home services, operating across three brands (LawnStarter, Lawn Love, Home Gnome) on a single shared platform.

About Engineering at LawnStarter

We've spent the last two years rebuilding the platform from the ground up: new customer app, new Pro onboarding, job distribution engine, and data infrastructure. The foundation is solid. Now we're moving into expanded service verticals, dynamic pricing, and AI-powered features at scale. Quality needs to keep up.

Our stack is PHP (Laravel) and React/React Native, with Cypress as our primary test framework. We actively use Claude Code as part of our engineering workflow, not as an experiment, but as a core part of how we work.

The Role

As we scale into new service verticals and grow the engineering team, quality can't be reactive. This role exists to make quality proactive: owning the automation coverage, shaping the bug process, and partnering closely with Product, Design, and the Data team to catch problems before they reach customers.

About Product at LawnStarter

Our BHAG: 1+ job per household, every year.

We've organized around those bets as swim lanes: New Customer Acquisition, Deliver Service, and AI & Operating Excellence. Each one holds opportunities big enough to demand real product thinking, not just execution.

We're looking for exceptional product managers to join an exceptional team. Full stop.

The Role

You'll join one of three swim-lane teams (New Customer Acquisition, Deliver Service, or AI & Operating Excellence) with a specific, high-stakes problem to own from day one. These teams are small. Your work shows up in the roadmap immediately, for better or worse. There's no back of a large org to hide in here.

Director of Product Management

About LawnStarter

LawnStarter is the nation's leading on-demand marketplace for lawn care and outdoor services, with over $150M in annual bookings. We operate across three brands (LawnStarter, Lawn Love, Home Gnome) on a single shared platform, and we've been profitable for two years running. We're expanding beyond lawn care to become the one-stop shop for all home services.

About Product at LawnStarter

Home services is a massive, broken market. For homeowners, getting reliable, fairly priced service is a hassle of phone tag, no-shows, and surprise quotes. For the Pros who do the work, running a business means chasing customers, dead time between jobs, and unpaid admin. LawnStarter is the marketplace that fixes both sides.

We proved the model with lawn care — it works at scale, profitably, across millions of jobs. In the last year we extended it to a second service: pool cleaning, now live in select markets. Getting there meant building the first version of a product that can onboard customers and Pros, match the two sides, get the job done, and handle the exceptions when it doesn't go to plan.

The Role

This is LawnStarter's first Director of Product Management, the leader between the VP of Product and a team of three PMs (and the hires that follow).
