Apply for Full Stack Engineer

Bold Reuse is a full-service reuse platform that eliminates single-use waste. We’ve already eliminated more than 4 million pounds of packaging from the landfill, and we’re just getting started! Our mission is to make the circular economy a reality for any business that wants to reduce its packaging waste.

About Bold Reuse

Bold Reuse is pioneering the shift away from single-use waste by implementing reusable systems in large venues, campuses, and events. We work with top brands like Pepsi, Starbucks, and major sports teams to integrate reuse into their operations. Our mission is to make reuse the norm through seamless, tech-enabled solutions that deliver measurable environmental impact.

About the Role

As a Full-Stack Software Engineer at Bold Reuse, you will lead the continued design, development, and operation of our internal platform—the technology that supports and enables our day-to-day business operations. After taking a handoff from the current lead engineer, you will be the sole engineer for the organization.  You will take meaningful ownership of the platform’s technical direction and outcomes, carrying work from solution design and architecture through implementation, deployment, and ongoing support.

Working closely with the Product Owner and key business stakeholders, you will translate operational needs into practical, maintainable software solutions. You will balance near-term delivery priorities with the long-term health of the platform, applying strong engineering practices to build systems that are secure, scalable, resilient, and well tested.

This role is well suited for an engineer who enjoys both building new capabilities and improving the systems around them. You will proactively identify technical debt, performance and scalability concerns, and opportunities to modernize our frameworks, tooling, and infrastructure. You will have substantial autonomy in how solutions are designed and delivered, along with direct visibility into how your work improves BOLD REUSE’s operations and supports the company’s growth.
