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, solid 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.This position is for an existing vacancy.Roofr is at an inflection point with AI, and this role is at the center of it. As Engineering Team Lead of our AI Platform team, you’ll own the application foundation that makes AI a native part of how Roofr’s product works — establishing the integration architecture, agent patterns, and core abstractions that every product team will build on top of. This isn’t a siloed role — you’ll work horizontally across the entire engineering department, making you one of the most cross-cutting and influential contributors in the org. This is a rare opportunity to define how an entire product organization integrates with AI from the ground up. The architectural decisions you make here will be the ones every team follows for years.What You’ll Get to DoBuild and lead a team of platform engineers, setting technical direction, conducting code reviews, and mentoring engineers as the team growsDefine and build the application-layer foundation for AI at Roofr — establishing the core integration patterns, agent architecture, and shared abstractions that product teams across the org will build onOwn the integration architecture strategy — making the foundational decisions on how Roofr’s product connects to AI services and third-party systems, and setting the standard for how the rest of engineering builds with AIDesign and maintain our third‑party integration layer,
