How long do I need to be at my job to buy a house?
Lenders like to see about two years of steady work. That does not have to be one job: a new job in the same line of work usually counts.

A raise or a move to a better job in the same field is fine. A gap, a switch to a new kind of work, or a move to being paid by commission can need more paperwork.
If you just started a new job, tell the lender up front. They can tell you what they need to see before you shop.
