Early last year we closed on our Series E, raising $240 million, and have offices in California, Texas, and New York as well as many remote opportunities. Our growth includes recent acquisitions of Great Jones (full-service property management),  Stessa (financial management software) to empower customers with a seamless way to acquire, manage, and track their investment properties on one platform, Rent Prep (tenant screening and placement service for landlords), and Mynd (property management platform for both Retail and Institutional investors).

Stessa is a product within Roofstock that helps real estate investors run their rental property business. We are seeking an accomplished Senior Full Stack Engineer with extensive expertise in Ruby on Rails and React to lead and mentor our passionate and collaborative team.
