Here at Hometap, we’re collaborative, passionate, and always ready to roll up our sleeves to create solutions that help people get more out of homeownership — and out of life. Our first product, a home equity investment, gives homeowners the opportunity to quickly access the equity they’ve built in their home to pay for what’s most important to them, from handling debt to finally making much-needed renovations, without taking on debt.


We work hard, and have some fun along the way, too. You don’t have to take our word for it: The Boston Globe and Comparably have recognized us as a great place to work, and we’ve been honored for our commitment to innovation in the fintech space by BostInno, HousingWire, and more! 


In case you need any more convincing, we also provide competitive compensation, healthcare coverage, unlimited PTO, a generous share package, and a strong culture with plenty of opportunities for team-building and camaraderie.


Interested in joining us on our mission to make homeownership less stressful and more accessible? We’d love to talk.


Who You Are:


As a Senior Full Stack Engineer at Hometap, you will help build, test, and scale software to enable homeowners to access their home’s equity. You will influence how and what we build as we expand to serve homeowners across the country. We are looking for an engineer who is mission-driven, passionate about quality, and motivated to deliver results.

At Hometap you’ll be responsible for:

  • Designing, building, and testing software using Python and Javascript
  • Building integrations with both internal and external tools including Salesforce, HouseCanary, Segment, Experian, and more
  • Championing the creation of new tools and processes to improve workflow 
  • Maintaining a high bar for code quality and best practices through code reviews
  • Implementing key analytics to support a highly data-driven company 
  • Collaborating with engineers, product managers, and stakeholders using Agile practices
  • Providing mentorship and guidance to our growing engineering team

What you'll bring:

  • 5+ years of professional experience with Python and Python-based frameworks, preferably Django
  • Competency with Javascript and Javascript frameworks like React
  • Strong knowledge of how to query databases using SQL and/or ORMs
  • Detailed experience with testing frameworks
  • Experience with cloud services, preferably AWS
  • Proficiency with Git or other revision control systems
  • Familiarity with API design, development, and documentation

Bonus Points

  • Experience working on products requiring a high level of security
  • Familiarity with the Fintech industry

Hometap is on a mission to make homeownership less stressful and more accessible. Our home equity investment product provides homeowners with a fast, simple, and straightforward way to access the equity in their home without taking out a loan or having to sell. By investing alongside homeowners, Hometap offers debt-free cash in exchange for a share of their home’s future value — all without any monthly payments or interest over the life of the investment. Through a combination of financial innovation and best-in-class customer service, Hometap enables people to get more from homeownership so they can get more from life.


Hometap believes that our differences are what bring us together, and one of our biggest priorities is creating a diverse workplace that welcomes and values each team member’s unique perspective, background, and ideas. All roles here are filled based solely on candidates’ qualifications and our business needs.


Hometap is based in Boston, but will consider remote work for this position; however, the position must be performed in the United States entirely outside of Colorado.

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I started at Hometap as a co-op, so much of my experience with the technology we were using had been in a classroom setting. I came on full-time after graduating from Northeastern, and now as a software engineer, I get to concentrate more on a specific domain and have the opportunity to contribute towards and execute on bigger projects.

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

I encourage our design team to leverage each other's unique expertise and individual passions. One team member is amazing at illustration, where another is a user testing wizard. Still another is an absolute expert when it comes to the UX craft and best practices. We all learn from and are inspired by each other.
