Job description

Cambio is a software platform for real estate decarbonization. We help commercial real estate owners bring their portfolios to net-zero with an AI-driven sustainability, asset, and investment management platform. We're backed by Y Combinator, Google, and Stanford — and we're the fastest-growing startup in our category.

The role

We're looking for a Backend Engineer to build, help teammates do their best work, and have fun doing it.

What you'll be doing

  • Launch customer-facing features by building Django backend services

  • Improve the customer experience through performance optimizations

  • Improve the eng team's quality of life by committing to tech debt reduction

  • Support and collaborate with your teammates

Who you are

  • An A-player: low ego, curious, and serious about your craft

  • You are outcome driven

  • Work isn't in opposition to life for you - it's part of your life because you genuinely enjoy it

  • You ship through obstacles — roadblocks are part of the problem to solve

  • You move with urgency and close the week with visible impact

  • You're relentlessly curious and treat truth-seeking as a discipline

  • You believe iteration speed is quality - the way to build great things is to build fast and learn faster

  • You show up for your teammates, in person. You unblock before being asked and never let someone stay stuck

  • You own your work end-to-end - proactive about visibility, proud of your progress, and you over-communicate until everyone is fully aligned

What you bring

  • Independent problem simplification skills

  • Experienced in Python web development (Django & Ninja is a bonus)

  • Solid grasp of computer science and algorithm fundamentals

  • Exceptional research & debugging skills

  • Understanding of technical trade-offs and the YAGNI principle

Our tech stack

  • Infra: AWS, Kubernetes, Redis, PostgreSQL, SQS, CDK, GitHub, Retool

  • Backend: Django REST/Ninja, Celery

  • Frontend: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS

  • LLM: AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, Claude

Logistics

  • Work authorization: authorized to work in the US or Canada, and able to travel to both

  • This is an in-person role based in Kitchener-Waterloo, New York, or San Francisco

What we offer

  • Competitive compensation and startup equity

  • Flexible time off

  • $1,200 annual learning budget

  • Catered lunch

  • Best workstation in a beautiful office in Uptown Waterloo

  • Office gym
