Senior Software Engineer

Your next adventure starts at Encamp. Encamp’s mission is to make what’s good for business good for the environment. Today, over 200 enterprise organizations trust Encamp to safeguard 40,000+ facilities. We’re helping companies do what’s right for the environment and enabling first responders to navigate emergency situations. How we work We work in small, high-agency teams that combine environmental expertise with highly capable engineers. Our approach is unique in the industry: automate all environmental compliance submissions for all agencies in all jurisdictions. This work matters to our customers, is technically difficult in ways that software rarely is, and compounds into a durable advantage over time. We believe agentic engineering is here to stay, and so we are focused on evolving our structure and practices to meet the challenges of the day. This means a generous token budget and no policy holding back tool adoption. Encampers are engaged, kind, and learning to push the pace together. You will find us on an evolving combination of tools like Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor. We do not trade quality for perceived throughput. Verification remains the key constraint, which is why we read 100% of code and maintain a high bar for system design, data design, and overall quality. About the role As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll own meaningful technical areas end-to-end - from problem framing and system design through rollout and operation in production. You’ll lead projects in high-leverage parts of the system, especially where product, data, and real-world workflow complexity meet. You’ll take on thorny problems that span customer-facing product, integrations, and internal platform concerns. We expect senior engineers here to bring strong judgment, execute with consistency, write clearly, and make the systems and engineers around them better. Much of that work happens in a TypeScript-heavy stack across React and Vite on the frontend, GraphQL and Node on the backend, Prisma and Postgres in the data layer, and AWS services like Lambda and ECS in production. Senior Software Engineers at Encamp help set the standard for how we build. This is a high-autonomy, high-impact role on a small team.
