## About our Culture

At Groma, we’re looking to build something big and are on a fast growth trajectory. While a healthy work-life balance is important to our team, we want to be upfront that there may be times when we expect commitments outside of the standard 9-5. We strive to respect individuals and their needs while also acknowledging the reality that we have a small team that is trying to accomplish some very ambitious goals in a short time period.

We are also focused on maintaining our dynamic in-office culture at Groma’s headquarters in beautiful downtown Boston, Massachusetts. We believe that in-person collaboration and spontaneous interpersonal interaction is critical to the company’s success at this stage. Also, our office is great. We own the whole building and have made it very much our own space. We’ve got a gym, shower/locker rooms, a game room, a rooftop garden, and all the normal stuff to make an office a comfortable work environment and a fun place to be. We understand that everyone will need flexibility from time to time, but want to be transparent with this expectation.

We have an ever-evolving list of values and conventions that guide how we operate as a company, but here are some of our core ones:

- We approach our work with pragmatic idealism that enables us to focus on our desire to make the world a better place in ways big and small while also being open to intelligent compromises that accelerate us on our path to serve our broader societal goals.
- Our whole team believes strongly that the challenges we are trying to solve require effective teams, not individual heroes.
- We have complex conversations well. We sit at the intersection of housing and blockchain policy, both nuanced topics with real-world impacts. We pride ourselves on being thoughtful, seeking the best solutions to real-world challenges, and implementing them effectively in the real world.

Job Benefits

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with company match, and paid time off. If you are interested in this exciting opportunity, please submit your resume and cover letter for consideration.

- Tool replacement (if broken on the job)
- 5% 401k match
- High-quality health and dental insurance plans
- Fully covered commuter passes for bus, subway, boat, or commuter rail
- Competitive paid time off policy
- Competitive compensation package
- 13 official company holidays
- 1 floating holiday: We recognize that there are lots of holidays that are meaningful to different people in different ways, and we want to celebrate that by enabling team members to have the time/space to commemorate those days however is appropriate and using it as an opportunity - if they’d like to - to share the meaning of that day with the broader team

Position Salary Range $25—$35 USD

## About Groma

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Groma is a vertically integrated real estate investment, development, and management company that combines traditional real estate operations with blockchain technology to create a tokenized real estate investment platform (GromaCoin/GromaREIT).
- **Entity Type**: Private (raised ~$50.3M in total funding, Series A stage)
- **Headquarters**: Boston, Massachusetts, United States
- **Founded**: 2020
- **Founders**: Chris Lehman (Co-Founder, Policy Architect), Grant Fishman (Co-Founder), Angelo Drake (Co-Founder) [tracxn.com](https://tracxn.com/d/companies/groma/__NAnZbWBkisABNr7wfWMGV-5Oly0yUakLXxmG_Scv3xA)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Real Estate (multifamily residential), PropTech (Property Technology), Blockchain/Crypto (Real Estate Tokenization)
- **Target customers**: Institutional and family office investors, individual investors (via Wefunder, min. $100), and tenants/residents in their properties
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "We believe the world works better when everyone owns a part of it." Groma aims to make real estate ownership accessible to a broad audience, blending the flexibility of renting with the wealth-building potential of diversified real estate ownership. [builtin.com](https://builtin.com/company/groma)

## Products & Services
- **Groma Real Estate Trust / GromaREIT**: A blockchain-powered Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) that allows investors to buy tokenized shares (GromaCoin) backed by a portfolio of physical multifamily properties. Available to everyone, with a focus on enabling ownership for residents in their buildings.
- **GromaCoin**: A tokenized share in the Groma Real Estate Trust, representing an on-chain asset backed by productive real estate in a US-regulated structure.
- **Property Technology Platform**: An AI-driven platform for acquiring, upgrading, and operating 2-20 unit multifamily buildings, bringing institutional efficiency to the "small unit count" multifamily sector.
- **Investor Platform**: Bespoke investment vehicles for institutional and family office investors, plus the public-facing GromaREIT.
- **Property Management**: Full-service management of a growing portfolio of 125+ properties and 600+ units, generating $1.6M+ in annual rent roll. [groma.com](https://www.groma.com/)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding of **~$50.3M** (across multiple rounds including a $20M Series A in Jan 2023 led by Castle Island Ventures, and a $29.3M Series A in Feb 2022). [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/gromabiz)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Castle Island Ventures (lead investor), Needham Bank (financing partner), Yearn Finance (DeFi vault partnership), and 10+ other partners scaling real estate assets and on-chain infrastructure.
- **Growth Signals**:
    - Portfolio of 125+ properties and 600+ units.
    - Headcount grew **59.5% YoY** to 44 employees.
    - Community of 3,000+ investors, renters, and "rentvestors."
    - Recently launched a community investment round on Wefunder (April 2026), opening the Groma Real Estate Trust to the general public for as little as $100.
    - Actively hiring for senior technical roles (Senior Blockchain Engineer, Senior Software Engineer).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vertical Integration**: Groma owns the entire stack—acquisition, development, property management, and the investment platform—creating a closed-loop system that is rare in the real estate tech space.
- **Blockchain + Real Estate Moat**: They are one of the first companies to successfully tokenize a regulated real estate trust (GromaREIT), backed by physical, cash-flowing assets. This creates a unique asset class that blends the stability of real estate with the liquidity and accessibility of crypto.
- **Focus on "Small Multifamily"**: Instead of competing for large apartment complexes, Groma targets the fragmented 2-20 unit market, an overlooked but massive sector where they can use technology to drive institutional-grade performance.
- **First-Mover in Policy**: They sit at the intersection of housing and blockchain policy, navigating complex regulatory landscapes (e.g., SEC regulations for tokenized securities, rent control issues).

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the GromaREIT**: Opening the trust to retail investors via Wefunder is a clear sign they are moving from institutional-only to broad public access.
- **Deepening Tech Stack**: They are building a robust property technology platform using AI, and a blockchain infrastructure for GromaCoin. Current job postings for Senior Blockchain Engineer and Senior Software Engineer confirm this priority.
- **Portfolio Growth**: Continue to acquire and manage more multifamily properties in the greater Boston area and potentially expand geographically.
- **Community Ownership**: A core strategic goal is to enable residents of their buildings to become owners (investors) in the trust, aligning tenant and landlord incentives.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-Driven**: The company has a clear, ambitious mission to democratize real estate ownership, which is a strong motivator for many job seekers.
- **High-Growth Environment**: With 59.5% headcount growth YoY and a recent public funding round, Groma is in a rapid scaling phase, offering significant career growth opportunities.
- **Culture**: Described as a "small team trying to accomplish some very ambitious goals." They value "pragmatic idealism," effective teamwork, and having "complex conversations well." The culture is described as fast-paced and ambitious. [greenhouse.io](https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/groma/jobs/4594861005)
- **Work Policy**: **On-site first** (Boston HQ). They emphasize in-person collaboration and have a "dynamic in-office culture." They own their office building in downtown Boston, which includes a gym, locker rooms, game room, and rooftop garden. Remote work is possible occasionally but not the norm.
- **Notable Perks**:
    - 5% 401k match
    - Fully covered high-quality health and dental insurance plans
    - Fully covered commuter passes (bus, subway, boat, commuter rail)
    - Competitive PTO, 13 official holidays, and 1 floating holiday
