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, the Response team builds technology that helps organizations protect their people, stay ahead of emerging threats, and communicate effectively during critical situations. We're solving complex, real-world problems where reliability, speed, and intelligent decision-making matter.
As a Senior Fullstack Engineer on the Response team, you'll work on some of Envoy's most technically challenging and impactful products. You'll help build and scale our Threat Intelligence platform, which processes large volumes of real-time signals from thousands of sources, uses AI to identify and enrich relevant threats, and helps organizations understand potential risks to their people and workplaces. You'll tackle challenging engineering problems involving distributed systems, real-time data pipelines, geospatial intelligence, and AI-powered decision-making.
You'll also build our Emergency Notifications platform, enabling organizations to communicate critical information to employees and visitors quickly and reliably across multiple channels when it matters most. These are systems where performance, scalability, and reliability have a direct impact on people's safety.
This is a backend-focused fullstack role. You'll spend much of your time designing scalable services, building distributed systems, and solving complex backend challenges, while also owning customer-facing experiences using React. We're looking for engineers with strong backend fundamentals who are comfortable moving across the stack and taking end-to-end ownership of the products they build.
You'll have the opportunity to influence technical architecture, apply AI to meaningful product problems, and work closely with Product, Design, and Engineering to bring ambitious ideas to life.
