WASTRAQ is the smart waste management software powering municipal corporations, supervisors, and collection teams across 40+ countries. Join us and work on technology that makes cities cleaner, operations smarter, and the planet healthier.
Every city in the world depends on waste collection infrastructure that has barely changed in decades. WASTRAQ exists to change that — through intelligent software, better data, and a team genuinely passionate about the impact of what they build. If that mission resonates with you, you belong here.
"The best engineers, operators, and field professionals we have hired share one thing: they want to work on something that matters. WASTRAQ is that platform."
— Founding Team, WASTRAQWe offer more than a job. We offer ownership, purpose, and the chance to work on a municipal waste solution that genuinely changes how cities operate.
Your work goes live in municipalities and waste fleets within days of shipping. The features you build are used by thousands of drivers, supervisors, and municipal operators every single day.
Work from where you do your best work. Our team spans multiple countries and time zones. We invest in strong async communication, documented decisions, and regular team gatherings.
We pay at or above market rates for every role, with equity options for senior hires. Compensation is reviewed annually and tied to both individual performance and company growth milestones.
Each team member receives an annual professional development budget for courses, conferences, and certifications. We actively support internal mobility and promotions from within.
Flexible hours, generous holiday allowance, and a no-questions-asked approach to time off. We trust you to manage your schedule and deliver. Results matter more than clock-watching.
Private health insurance, mental health support access, wellness allowance, and regular team social events. We take care of our people so they can do their best work.
We do not have layers of approval or endless meetings. Every person at WASTRAQ owns a meaningful part of the product or the business, and we trust them to drive it forward. We have high standards, but we back our team with the tools, context, and time they need to meet them.
Our waste management platform team is made up of engineers who think about operators, operators who think about product, and field specialists who inform both. That cross-functional way of working produces better outcomes — for our customers and for the people building it.
We use the best tools available. Engineers choose their own development environment and contribute to tooling decisions directly.
No unnecessary hierarchy. Ideas are evaluated on merit, not seniority. Everyone ships, everyone speaks directly with customers.
Our team operates across multiple time zones. We have invested heavily in async documentation, communication norms, and quarterly in-person offsites.
We measure our own carbon footprint and apply the same sustainability principles to how we operate as a company that we build into our platform.

"WASTRAQ is the only place I have worked where I talk directly to the municipal council that uses my team's work. Knowing that what we build is keeping streets cleaner is genuinely motivating every single day."
