## Job description

## About Groma

Groma is blending real estate and technology to unlock a new real estate asset class while making it easier for everyone – from institutional investors to the residents in our buildings – to participate in ownership. Our property technology platform uses AI to bring new efficiencies to the small unit count multifamily sector, enabling us to efficiently acquire, upgrade, and operate these 2-20 unit multifamily buildings and bring institutional performance to this massive but historically overlooked sector. Our investor technology platform makes owning these assets accessible to a broad array of investors, with bespoke vehicles available to institutional and family office investors and our flagship vehicle, the blockchain-powered GromaREIT, available to everyone, with a special focus on enabling ownership for the residents in our buildings. Visit www.groma.com to learn more about us.

## About the Role

This focused on helping our Finance team find practical ways to use AI to enable the department to work more efficiently and accurately. Over six months, you’ll learn how our finance and accounting processes work, identify opportunities to improve them, and help design and implement solutions using tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Python, SQL, and our financial platforms. We're looking for someone who knows more about these tools than we do and wants to teach us. If you'd rather be the resident expert than the person fetching spreadsheets, this is the co-op.

Job Responsibilities:

- Automate recurring finance tasks with AI workflows (Claude, ChatGPT, and their APIs)
- Map how finance work gets done and prioritize what's worth automating
- Connect financial platforms, databases, APIs, and other systems to create more efficient workflows
- Build every automation with a human review step and audit trail
- Serve as the team's in-house AI expert and raise everyone's fluency
- Document every system so a non-technical teammate can run it
- Support AP and AR directly to learn the domain firsthand
- Analyze financial data for trends and exceptions; support reporting and auditing
- Take on special projects where a technical approach beats a manual one

Skills:

- Knows where AI output needs checking and where it can be trusted
- Can explain technical work clearly to people who don't code
- Strong spreadsheet skills (Google Suite); finance exposure a plus
- Diligent documentation and task management; excellent communication
- Works well independently and on a team
- Working knowledge of Python, SQL, and REST APIs

## Experience

- Pursuing a degree in CS, Data Science, AI, Systems Engineering, MIS, Business Analytics, Fintech, or Finance with a focus on technical coursework
- Have built something real with LLM tools (share an example in your application if you have one!)

## About our Culture

At Groma, we’re looking to build something big and are on a very fast growth trajectory. 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 period of time. We are focused on maintaining our dynamic in-office culture at Groma’s headquarters in downtown Boston. We believe that in-person collaboration and spontaneous interpersonal interaction is critical to the company’s success at this stage. We understand that everyone will need to work from home or the road occasionally, 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’s a high-level overview of how we think about doing what we do:

- 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 solving 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.

## Compensation

This is a 40 hour per week position and is paid at a rate of $20 per hour.

Job Benefits

- Fully covered commuter passes for bus, subway, boat, or commuter rail
- Competitive paid time off policy, 4 company holidays within co-op cycle
- In-office gym and roofdeck
- Comprehensive catering, snack, and beverage program

Position Salary Range $20—$20 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
