Groma is a full-service real-estate development and management firm. We are passionate about the future of the greater Boston area. Our goal is to develop our local communities in innovative and sustainable ways.

We are also working on a product that’s still in stealth mode, so all we can write about here is that it leverages blockchain technology to help democratize consumer access to institutional-grade real estate investing. You’ll be helping us build the future of real estate investment.

Groma is a startup which means we work hard and are constantly evolving to meet new and exciting challenges. A healthy work-life balance is important to our team, but this is likely not your standard 9-5. Groma is on a fast growth trajectory and we’re looking for team members ready to dig in and build something special together.

While we’re mostly working remotely for the moment, we are investing heavily in our office space in the middle of downtown Boston. We intend to build a strong workplace culture with flexibility to WFH as needed, but we believe in the power of being together and the health benefits of having an “office space” and a “home space.”

About the Position

We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to expand the capabilities of our Engineering team and our efforts to automate and innovate real estate investment.

We’re a very small team and are looking for another generalist who can adapt to shifting priorities and work across the entire stack. If you’re equally passionate about Continuous Deployment, Developer Experience, and User Experience, we are looking for you.

Currently we’re working with TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Vercel, and Github Actions, but we are always looking for the right tool for the job and open to other options.

As a Senior Software Engineer in the beginning stages of a startup, you’ll be given the chance to help mold the Engineering culture at Groma and steer product and technology decisions at every level of the stack. You’ll be getting hands-on with all sorts of code and working to improve the way the rest of the company works.
