Job description

What we do and why we do it

As the leading end-to-end investment platform for single-family rental homes, our mission is to make real estate investing radically accessible, cost effective, and simple. Our short-term rental (STR) business extends this mission into hospitality, delivering seamless guest experiences while maximizing returns for homeowners.

How it’s going (and growing)

With a talented team of 750+ Roofsters, our collaborative, can-do culture is what fuels our growth. In 2022, we closed on our Series E, raising $240 million, and have offices in the Bay Area and New York City. Our growth includes recent acquisitions of Stessa (financial and asset management software), RentPrep (tenant screening and placement service for landlords), and Mynd (property management platform for both Retail and Institutional investors). In 2025, Roofstock took an ownership stake in Casago (short-term rental management services), expanding our platform to support both long-term and short-term rental investment services.
