What is Bilt?
Bilt is the loyalty program for renters, transforming rent payments into valuable rewards while connecting members with exclusive Neighborhood Benefits™.
With every on-time rent payment, members earn Bilt Points – the industry's most valuable and flexible points currency which they can transfer 1:1 to their favorite airline miles and hotel points, use them for future rent payments, redeem for everyday purchases, or save them for a down payment on a home. Plus, they can build their credit history by automatically reporting their rent payments to all three major credit bureaus for free, and unlock exclusive rewards on the 1st of every month with Rent Day®.
As part of being a Bilt Member, they also get even more value at over 40,000 merchants nationwide with exclusive Neighborhood Benefits™ at local restaurants, fitness studios, pharmacies, on Lyft rides, and more.
In partnership with the top multifamily owners and operators across the country, Bilt has become the largest network of homes that reward their residents on rent, managing payments for over 4.5MM units across the nation.
Residents who live in the network make payments directly through the Bilt Payment Center and get access to benefits including additional earn opportunities on new leases, renewals, and more.

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.
We are considering candidates with differing levels of expertise for this position. Leveling will be based upon your experience and performance in the interview process.
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.
