As Hometap’s Full Stack Engineering Co-op, you’ll be embedded in a focused pod of four engineers and a QA engineer, working closely with product managers and engineering leadership to build software that helps homeowners access the equity in their homes. Your time will be split between hands-on development, contributing to technical discussions, learning from senior teammates, and taking ownership of features that directly impact our users. This role is about more than just writing code — it's about developing your technical expertise while contributing to impactful solutions that drive our mission forward.

Hometap is Boston-based, but our team works remotely on a day-to-day basis. We do have an office location in Back Bay where you're welcome and encouraged to work in person, if that is preferred. Co-ops must be in the United States for the duration of their work with Hometap. 

What you’ll do:

• Design, build, and test software — primarily using Python and JavaScript/TypeScript — with a focus on clean, maintainable architecture
• Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, QA, and stakeholders to shape requirements and deliver impactful features using Agile practices.
• Integrate with a wide range of systems, including Digifi.io, Salesforce, AVM providers, credit bureaus, Segment, and Camunda
• Maintain a high bar for code quality through peer reviews, testing, and clear documentation
• Provide feedback to teammates and Technical Product Organization leaders on processes and projects

What you’ll bring:

• Previous internship or co-op experience in a software engineering role
• Experience using modern programming languages and frameworks – our stack includes Python (Django) and JavaScript/TypeScript (React), but we value adaptability and engineering fundamentals over specific tech
• Strong understanding of relational database design and querying fundamentals
• Experience with cloud services, preferably AWS
• Proficiency with Git or other revision control systems
• Familiarity with API design, development, and documentation

Bonus Points:

• Experience with cloud services, preferably AWS
• Experience working in fintech or regulated industries with high standards for security and compliance
• Exposure to products where software supports the delivery of a financial service, rather than being the end product itself
• Familiarity with the fintech ecosystem, including concepts like underwriting, credit, or financial data integrations

Here's what our previous co-ops have to say:

"Hometap opened a lot of doors for me in the world of engineering within financial technologies. From day one, I felt like a valued team member; I was working on projects with significant impact on the business and gaining real-world experience. The mentorship and support created a welcoming environment where questions were encouraged and learning was constant."

"My experience at Hometap has been incredibly rewarding. When I started as a co-op, I felt meaningful ownership of our codebase, collaborating with my team on important objectives. My company and team have provided me with a clear trajectory for growth, giving me the resources needed to excel. I've been able to actively shape our team agreements, influence our operational practices, and have a genuine voice in how we work together."
