Roofstock application questions — all 27, word for word
Roofstock hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 27 questions, 24 of them required. 4 of them are required, fixed-choice questions about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
56 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in operations and engineering. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.

The eligibility questions
These are required, and answered from a fixed list rather than in your own words: work authorisation, visa sponsorship or security clearance. Employers often use questions like these to filter applications automatically, but Greenhouse's public data does not say whether Roofstock does — so treat them as the answers most likely to matter, not as a verdict. Answer them honestly either way.

Before you apply
Have the answers to the required questions ready before you open the form — Roofstock's asks for 24 of them, and Greenhouse does not save a partial application by default. Settle the eligibility questions first — they are the ones with no room to elaborate, so knowing your answer before you start tells you whether the rest of the form is worth your time.
