About Hometap
What is Hometap?
Hometap is a Boston-based fintech on a mission "to make homeownership less stressful and more accessible." Founded in 2017, the company pioneered the home equity investment (HEI) — a debt-free alternative to loans and HELOCs. As Hometap puts it, its 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 over the life of the investment." Homeowners use that cash to handle debt, fund renovations or invest in what matters most, and Hometap shares in the home's future value rather than charging interest — a model it describes as combining "financial innovation and best-in-class customer service" so people "can get more from life."
Where will I work?
Hometap is "a remote-first organization with strong ties to Boston and New England." Most of the team works remotely, with offices — including its headquarters at 361 Newbury St in Boston — available "to work from, host meetings, and socialize." As the company says: "Whether you prefer working from an office or home, we've got you covered." Most open roles are listed as fully remote or remote with a Boston base, giving you genuine flexibility in where you do your best work.
What is the Hometap team like?
Hometap describes its people as "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." Its values put the mission first: "We put the team and the homeowner first," "We collaborate with trust," "We create solutions," "We execute with intention," and "We communicate directly & constructively." The company has earned a string of recognitions, including Built In's Best Places to Work (Boston) — a current honor displayed on its careers page and Built In's own profile.
Work-Life Balance
Hometap backs flexibility with policy. The company offers a "flexible work schedule" alongside "unlimited PTO with advanced approval" and "paid parental leave." Job listings reinforce it, promising "plenty of paid time off to recharge." Combined with its remote-first setup, the emphasis is on trusting people to manage their own time while doing meaningful work.
Perks and Benefits
Hometap offers "competitive compensation," a "company-sponsored 401k plan with matching contributions," and "equity stakes" so employees "can share in our growth and success." Health coverage is comprehensive — "generous medical, dental, and vision coverage." Remote employees receive a "work-from-home stipend," and there are commuter benefits for those near an office. Hometap also invests in growth through learning and development, including "conferences, career path mapping, and partnerships with organizations like LinkedIn Learning."
