This is an L3 opportunity. Successful candidates often come from senior engineering roles and are experienced in leading complex projects, mentoring peers, and making architectural contributions across teams.

About The Role

At Envoy we’re writing the operating system for the modern office: a fully‑integrated platform that lets employees reserve desks and rooms, greet visitors, track deliveries, receive emergency alerts, and see interactive maps of the workplace —while our real‑time pipelines unify badge swipes, Wi‑Fi pings, sensors, and more into a single analytics engine that facilities teams use to right‑size space and budgets. This infrastructure already powers 16,000 workplaces and 9,000 companies—including names like Netflix, Disney, GitHub, and Nvidia—and it’s the only solution on the market that truly connects people, spaces, and data end‑to‑end. Join our lean, product‑driven engineering team and you’ll design resilient micro‑services, build blazing‑fast mobile experiences, craft models that predict occupancy, and ship features that shape how millions collaborate every day. If you want to solve juicy real‑world problems at global scale—and see your code light up offices around the world—come build the future of work with us.
