At Roofr, we’re obsessed with our customers. We constantly gather feedback to shape, prioritize, and launch the products they truly need. That’s what makes Roofr’s CRM special. We started by building essential sales tools like aerial roof measurements and digital sales proposals. But when our customers asked for a simple, affordable way to manage and scale their entire businesses, we listened. So, we created a CRM that connects these solutions—along with payments, material ordering, and more—into a seamless, powerful platform. With a clear roadmap ahead, we’re excited to continue expanding and leading the market with innovative products.

We have an amazing culture, strong financials, and best-in-class company metrics. It’s an exciting time to be part of an extraordinary startup that is already successful, yet still early enough to offer its team significant growth, equity, and the opportunity to make a real impact.

  • Influence the engineering culture in an early-stage company by promoting innovation and high standards in technical execution
  • Mentor senior engineers and collaborate with team members across disciplines to refine technical requirements and drive project success
  • Design and implement robust, scalable web applications and develop frameworks and libraries to streamline future projects
  • Champion the creation and maintenance of comprehensive suites of unit, functional, and acceptance tests to ensure software quality
  • Lead troubleshooting efforts and optimize support strategies for production applications

What You'll Bring to the Role:

  • 8+ years of software development experience, with a strong proficiency in PHP and the Laravel framework
  • Demonstrated leadership in adopting agile methodologies, with a commitment to frequent and confident code deployment
  • Expertise in deconstructing complex problems into manageable, incremental solutions, with a track record of strategic problem-solving
  • A proactive approach to advocating for and implementing initiatives that enhance engineering technologies and cultivate a progressive engineering culture
  • A collaborative spirit, thriving in environments where mutual growth and support are prioritized among team members
  • Exceptional ownership of product development, with a personal standard that aligns with producing high-quality, reliable work
  • Excellent communication skills, with a strong appreciation for the importance of effective documentation in driving project clarity and success
  • In-depth understanding of the unique challenges faced by early-stage companies, particularly in balancing immediate needs with long-term strategic goals
  • We would love someone that has advanced skills in one or more of the following areas: DevOps, Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
