Software Engineer

CurbWaste is an early-stage vertical SaaS company on a mission to transform the Waste Management industry — a critical sector that has long been underserved by modern technology. We’re here to change that.

Our customers are the backbone of essential infrastructure: humble, hard-working operators running complex businesses with little support from software. We’re building tools that bring them the power, clarity, and efficiency they deserve — and we’re just getting started.

At CurbWaste, we hold a high bar. We challenge each other to grow every day, operate with trust and ownership, and are relentlessly focused on delivering real value to our customers.

About the Role

CurbWaste is looking for a Senior Software Engineer who’s hungry to build real-world impact into every line of code.

You’ll work side-by-side with our Head of Engineering, product leaders, and founders to bring our roadmap to life and push the boundaries of what’s possible in waste tech. You’ll have a key voice in architecting scalable, maintainable systems, making foundational decisions that will influence our platform for years to come.

The ideal candidate is a sharp, opinionated builder who writes clean, reliable code, cares deeply about product quality, and thrives on solving meaningful, end-to-end problems. This is a high-impact role with room to lead, move fast, and build things that matter — with a team that’s all-in.

This is not just a job, this is a career, it’s an opportunity to make a real impact in a critical industry.

• Flextime, recognition, and support for autonomous work. Enjoy flexible time off and generous learning and development opportunities to grow your career
• Health benefits: Company-paid medical, dental, and vision

Our Mission

We aim to change the way waste companies run their business. We’re a software company founded by haulers and built for haulers.

At CurbWaste, we celebrate individuality and uniqueness. We believe that the convergence of fresh perspectives and experiences from all walks of life is what makes our product and culture so great.
