At rePurpose, we believe a world free of plastic waste is achievable within our lifetime. To accelerate our impact, we are hiring a Senior Software Engineer with deep backend and infrastructure expertise to support our vision of solving the global waste crisis. As a Senior Software Engineer at rePurpose, you will play a central role in architecting and scaling our platform — building the reliable, high-performance systems that power compliance workflows, data pipelines, and sustainability insights for brands across the US and beyond.

Backend Development: Design, build, and maintain scalable server-side services and APIs, with a focus on performance, reliability, and security.

Infrastructure & DevOps: Own and evolve our cloud infrastructure on AWS, including CI/CD pipelines, containerized deployments, monitoring, and cost optimization.

Full-Cycle Development: Contribute across the full software development lifecycle — from architecture and planning through implementation, testing, and production deployment.

Codebase Enhancement: Optimize the existing codebase to improve performance, reliability, and maintainability.

Collaboration: Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (product, design, and other engineering teams) to translate requirements into technical solutions.

AI Tooling & Technology Evaluation: Stay updated with industry trends, specifically in advancements in AI technologies. Propose adoption of new technologies where applicable to enhance the product’s and company’s capabilities.

Backend Expertise: Deep experience building robust, scalable, production-grade applications using Node.js or related backend frameworks. Strong understanding of API design (REST and/or GraphQL), service architecture, and performance optimization.

Infrastructure & Cloud: Hands-on experience with AWS (or comparable cloud platforms) and modern DevOps practices — including infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, CDK), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipeline management.

Database Knowledge: Proficiency in working with databases (SQL, NoSQL), designing schemas, optimizing queries, and ensuring data integrity.

Security & Reliability: Familiarity with backend security best practices, observability tooling, and building fault-tolerant, highly available systems.

AI Technologies: Experience with building, or interest in learning, agentic workflows.

TypeScript Proficiency: Strong knowledge of TypeScript as it pertains to backend systems and data modeling.

Full-Stack Awareness: Working knowledge of front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and modern frameworks (React, Vue, etc.) to collaborate effectively across the stack.

Agile & Collaboration: Comfortable working in an Agile environment, excellent communication skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively within a team.

A degree in Computer Science, plus a minimum of 4 years of professional experience in software development, ideally in a cloud-based modern stack. TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, Vue, and AWS are all preferred.

Strong problem-solving abilities and a proactive mindset towards learning new technologies.

Prior experience working in a startup or fast-paced environment is a plus.
