Senior QA Engineer
Here at Hometap, we’re 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. Our first product, a home equity investment, gives homeowners the opportunity to quickly access the equity they’ve built in their home to pay for what’s most important to them, from handling debt to finally making much-needed renovations, without taking on debt.
We work hard, and have some fun along the way, too. You don’t have to take our word for it: The Boston Globe and Forbes have recognized us as a great place to work, and we’ve been honored for our commitment to innovation in the fintech space by Inc., HousingWire, and more!
In case you need any more convincing, we also provide competitive compensation, healthcare coverage, unlimited PTO, a generous share package, and a strong culture with plenty of opportunities for team-building and camaraderie.
Who You Are:
As Senior QA Engineer at Hometap, you will help deliver a world-class homeowner and investor experience. You are passionate about quality, scrupulous, attentive to implementation details, mission-driven, and motivated to deliver results. The QA team is small but mighty (and growing!), and provides an exciting opportunity to grow with the company. You'll have the opportunity to meaningfully influence the software quality strategy as Hometap scales its service to homeowners across the country.
Community is at the core of what we do at Hometap. While this role is fully remote, we're prioritizing candidates who will be available to come to our Boston office occasionally for work sessions and events. If you feel you fit this category, we look forward to hearing from you!

- Devise solutions to automate testing of 3rd party integrations
- Collaborate closely with DevOps to create and maintain AWS sandbox environments for testing and build robust continuous testing pipelines, utilizing tools such as Docker, and AWS services such as S3, Cloudwatch, Lambdas, ECS, and more
- Suggest and evaluate new technologies and tools to assist the QA Team and the overall Technical Product Organization
- Partner with the Product team; carry in-depth knowledge of Hometap software, and acceptance-test new features while covering them with automation

What You Bring:
- 5+ years of professional experience in web application testing
- Strong knowledge of QA processes, testing methodologies, and best practices, as well as a passionate drive to promote and ensure quality standards throughout all phases of product development
