Job description

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.

Interested in joining us on our mission to make homeownership less stressful and more accessible? We’d love to talk.

Who you are:

We’re looking for a Director of Data Architecture to lead Hometap’s data engineering, analytics engineering, and business intelligence functions, ensuring that data is leveraged as a strategic asset across the organization. In this role, you’ll set the strategic and tactical direction for our data architecture, while overseeing key cross-functional projects that depend on robust data movement, transformation, and governance. You’ll also champion data quality and consistency, driving the vision for a trusted single source of truth across the company.

What you’ll do:

Provide leadership to data engineering and analytics engineering practitioners ranging from early-career engineers to senior managers
Oversee the technical strategy and architecture across the data engineering and analytics engineering teams, ensuring that initiatives support data science, analytics, and cross-functional stakeholder teams
Identify opportunities and provide guidance in architectural design and implementation of data products
Provide clear leadership, coaching and guidance to Data & Analytics Engineering managers and individual contributors; lead robust processes and standards to enable efficiency and effectiveness of the team
Operationalize a data governance program
Develop a scalable operations model to include a documented roadmap, goals, and objectives
Foster cross-functional relationships across business teams to understand and deliver on functionality and capability needs
Ensure a high level of quality across all initiatives

What you’ll bring:

8+ years of experience in data engineering or data architecture, with 4+ years spent managing and leading a data architecture or data engineering team
Strong background working with data movement and storage tools such as Snowflake, Fivetran, AWS, dbt, Tableau
Experience required with dbt (ideally) or a similar data transformation framework
Experience with a machine learning operations platform such as Databricks, DataRobot, or Sagemaker is a plus
Experience within a high growth, proptech/fintech or similar rapidly growing enterprise is strongly preferred
