What is Bilt?

Bilt Rewards is the first program for consumers to earn rewards on rent and daily neighborhood spend while creating a path towards home ownership.

Bilt Rewards boasts one of the highest value rewards programs on the market today, including one-to-one point transfers to twelve loyalty programs allowing members to travel across more than 100 major airlines and hotel partners; fitness classes at the country’s top boutique studios; limited-edition and exclusive collections of art and home decor through the Bilt Collection, and the ability to use points for rent credits or towards a future downpayment.

What’s the role?

As a Product team member at Bilt, you’ll be instrumental in shaping what products we build and how our users interact with them. Depending on your level of experience, you’ll be reporting to either our Head of Product or a divisional lead Product Manager, and will take ownership of the development of software that drives our business. You’ll also be at the forefront of a team that’s breaking new ground in the rental industry and increasing access to homeownership for our generation.

• Work with our internal stakeholders to define product solutions that effectively achieve our business objectives and user experience goals
• Create technical requirements to convey your ideas and communicate your solutions to the Engineering team and beyond
• Work with engineering to break down requirements into tasks, estimate effort, and plan sprints
• Be a thought partner to both Product and Engineering teams, balancing product requirements with engineering scope
• Collaborate with external partners to achieve effective and scalable technical integrations
• Maintain the engineering backlog and prioritize work based on impact
• Become an expert of our tech stack and own the documentation of it
• Supervise and measure launched products and feed insights back into the product development process
• Identify and define future opportunities that leverage our technology and data

Who you are: 

You’ve got great instincts for how to build software efficiently, scalably, and reliably. You have the ability to make high-level system architecture decisions, but are also able to dive into the nitty-gritty to effectively define and scope individual engineering tasks. You’re a great technical writer, because you know that any ambiguity in the way you communicate can impede development. You can work fast and loose if needed—but you also understand when process and structure are necessary, and you’ve got ideas about how to implement them.

In terms of qualifications, we’re seeking:

• At a minimum, 3 years of experience as a Technical Product Manager. As an Open Level role, the title and responsibilities will be adjusted according to your level of experience
• Background in computer science
• Technical ability to advise and evaluate engineering decisions
• Experience in a startup environment preferred
• A history of delivering highly successful and innovative products with your fingerprints all over them

Benefits:

• Compensation - We offer a competitive salary with a meaningful stake in the company via equity and our performance bonus program
• Health insurance for you (& your loved ones) from day one - Enjoy a One Medical Membership, wellness stipends, family programs and more, on us. We’ve got you and your family covered from day one.
• 401k plan with a match - Retirement may feel more like a pipe dream than a reality but we’re here to help you get there.
• Commuter FSAs - We believe the best ideas come from being together in one place. We just don’t think getting there should be so expensive.
• UNLIMITED PTO - Because we believe that working hard shouldn’t mean always working. Take time for you as often as you need it.
• Exclusive Employee only Bilt Points - We give our employees unique opportunities to earn points throughout their time at Bilt.
• Team Events - We believe in human connection so we hold events to help our employees break from the monotony of the typical work week.

At Bilt Rewards, we believe in transparency and we do our best to make sure the company and our candidates are on the same page as it relates to compensation. In addition to posting salary ranges for our open roles, candidates should expect to be asked about compensation expectations and requirements early on in their interview process. Our goal is to highlight when expectations and Bilt’s salary range may be out of sync, and work with the candidate to determine whether it makes sense to continue conversations.

Bilt has also partnered with Mastercard to create the Bilt Mastercard - the first and only credit card that can be used to pay rent with no fees. 

Where a new hire falls within a range will be based on their individual skills and experience, and how these competencies compare across other employees in the same role. Bilt's bands are designed to allow for individual compensation growth within the role. As such, new hires typically start at the lower end of the range. Bilt rewards performance and outcomes - should you join the company, you will have the opportunity to grow your salary over time.
