About Us

CurbWaste is a venture-backed, early-stage vertical SaaS company on a mission to modernize the waste and recycling industry — one of the most critical and underserved sectors in the world. Our customers are hard-working, no-frills operators running complex businesses with limited tools. We’re here to change that.

With $50M raised and the backing of top-tier investors, we serve over 150 customers who rely on CurbWaste’s all-in-one solution to power their operations. But we’re just getting started. Our ambition is to become the system of record for the waste industry and support the people who keep our cities running.

At CurbWaste, we hold a high bar. We believe in trust, ownership, and a relentless focus on delivering value. We challenge each other to grow every day and live by values that shape how we show up :

• Serve our customers, serve our industry
• Be infinitely curious
• Resourcefulness over resources
• Win as a team, learn as a team
• Do the 1% more

We’re building something meaningful — and we’re looking for big thinkers and humble warriors to join us.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Security Engineer to own security at CurbWaste — our first dedicated hire in this space. We've grown fast, closed our Series B, and we're at the stage where security needs dedicated focus and ownership. We need someone to bring expertise and hands-on leadership to our security efforts, and build the practices that will protect our platform and customers as we scale.

This isn't an audit-and-report job. You'll assess where we are, define where we need to be, and do the hands-on work to get us there — including writing code to fix vulnerabilities and harden our systems. You'll partner closely with engineering, coach our DevOps engineer on security best practices, and shape the security culture across the company.

If you're someone who wants to build, not just advise, and you thrive with ownership and autonomy, this is for you. This role has a clear path to leading a broader Security, DevOps, and IT function as we scale.

Our Mission

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.
