    • 🤖 AI Notice

      At Roofr, we’re big fans of AI. It helps us write job descriptions that don’t put you to sleep, takes notes during interviews so we can actually listen, and even helps us track down awesome humans like you.

      Feel free to use AI to prep, research, or get pumped up for your interview (we see you, ChatGPT power users 👀). But when it’s time to chat, we’d love to meet you, not your AI alter ego. Bring your real, unfiltered self, we promise we will too.

      And don’t worry, a real, live human is behind every part of our process. Every application is reviewed by a real person, and you’ll always speak with real humans throughout the interview process. No bots, just good people ☺️
