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.

  • 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

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
