ABOUT THE COMPANY
Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE: RSG) is a leader in the environmental services industry. We provide customers with the most complete set of products and services, including recycling, waste, special waste, hazardous waste and field services. Our industry-leading commitments to advance circularity and support decarbonization are helping deliver on our vision to partner with customers to create a more sustainable world.
In 2025, Republic’s total company revenue was $16.6 billion, and adjusted EBITDA was $5.3 billion. We serve 13 million customers and operate more than 1,000 locations, including collection and transfer stations, recycling and polymer centers, treatment facilities, and landfills.
Although we operate across North America, the collection, recycling, treatment, or disposal of materials is a local business, and the dynamics and opportunities differ in each market we serve. By combining local operational management with standardized business practices, we drive greater operating efficiencies across the company while maintaining day-to-day operational decisions at the local level, closest to the customer.
Our customers, including small businesses, major corporations and municipalities, want a partner with the expertise and capabilities to effectively manage their multiple recycling and waste streams. They choose Republic Services because we are committed to exceeding their expectations and helping them achieve their sustainability goals. Our 42,000 team members understand that it's not just what we do that matters, but how we do it.
Our company values guide our daily actions:
- Safe: We protect the livelihoods of our colleagues and communities.
- Committed to Serve: We go above and beyond to exceed our customers’ expectations.
- Environmentally Responsible: We take action to improve our environment.
- Driven: We deliver results in the right way.
- Human-Centered: We respect the dignity and unique potential of every person.
We are proud of our high employee engagement score of 86. We have an inclusive and diverse culture where every voice counts. In addition, our team positively impacted 5.1 million people in 2024 through the Republic Services Charitable Foundation and local community grants. These projects are designed to meet the specific needs of the communities we serve, with a focus on building sustainable neighborhoods.
STRATEGY
Republic Services’ strategy is designed to generate profitable growth. Through acquisitions and industry advancements, we safely and sustainably manage our customers’ multiple waste streams through a North American footprint of vertically integrated assets.
We focus on three areas of growth to meet the increasing needs of our customers: recycling and waste, environmental solutions and sustainability innovation.
With our integrated approach, strengthening our position in one area advances other areas of our business. For example, as we grow volume in recycling and waste, we collect additional material to bolster our circularity capabilities. And as we expand environmental solutions, we drive additional opportunities to provide these services to our existing recycling and waste customers.
Recycling and Waste
We continue to expand our recycling and waste business footprint throughout North America through organic growth and targeted acquisitions. The 13 million customers we serve and our more than 5 million pick-ups per day provide us with a distinct advantage. We aggregate materials at scale, unlocking new opportunities for advanced recycling. In addition, we are cross-selling new products and services to better meet our customers’ specific needs.
Environmental Solutions
Our comprehensive environmental solutions capabilities help customers safely manage their most technical waste streams. We are expanding both our capabilities and our geographic footprint. We see strong growth opportunities for our offerings, including PFAS remediation, an increasing customer need.
Sustainability Innovation
Republic’s recent innovations to advance circularity and decarbonization demonstrate our unique ability to leverage sustainability as a platform for growth.
The Republic Services Polymer Center is the nation’s first integrated plastics recycling facility. These innovative sites process rigid plastics from our recycling centers, producing recycled materials that promote true bottle-to-bottle circularity. We also formed Blue Polymers, a joint venture with Ravago, to develop facilities that will further process plastic material from our Polymer Centers to help meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging. We are building a network of Polymer Centers and Blue Polymer facilities across North America.
Our customers are increasingly looking for decarbonization solutions, and we are leveraging our network of landfills to meet that need. Republic is committed to harnessing landfill gas, a natural byproduct of decomposing waste, and converting it to energy. Republic has partnered with renewable gas developers to construct Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) plants at our landfills, expanding beyond the 77 projects we currently have to make progress towards our goal to beneficially reuse 50% more biogas by 2030 (2017 baseline year).

Tips for Your Remote Development Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote development engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search for roles that match your discipline and experience level, then apply directly before postings fill. Remote roles often close faster than on-site positions because the applicant pool is national.
Show async communication skills upfront
Remote development teams rely on written clarity. Include a concise technical summary on your resume and use cover letters to demonstrate you can explain engineering decisions in writing. Hiring managers treat written communication as a signal of how you'll perform on a distributed team.
Build a portfolio of documented engineering work
Remote employers can't watch you work, so your portfolio does the showing. Publish design decisions, simulation results, and project outcomes in a format reviewers can scan. GitHub repositories, technical write-ups, or a personal project page with clear problem statements carry real weight.
Prepare for remote-specific interview stages
Remote development engineer interviews frequently include a take-home technical exercise or an async design challenge. Practice structuring your engineering reasoning in writing, not just verbally. Be ready to walk through your problem-solving process on a video call with screen sharing.
Remote Development Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote development engineer job?
Remote development engineer roles go to candidates who can demonstrate technical depth and independent execution without in-person oversight. Remote employers screen for strong written communication, comfort with async collaboration tools, and the ability to scope and drive engineering problems with minimal hand-holding. A portfolio of shipped projects, detailed technical write-ups, or open-source contributions shows remote teams you can deliver without daily check-ins.
Which companies hire remote development engineers?
Employers currently hiring remote development engineers include CVS Health, Penn State University, and BeyondTrust, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Remote development engineer roles are concentrated at remote-first technology firms, distributed product and infrastructure teams, and engineering-heavy companies in software, energy, and defense sectors.
Can you get a remote development engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level development engineer roles are harder to land because employers expect self-directed execution from day one. Your best path is targeting smaller remote-first startups or contract-to-hire roles where teams move faster on hiring. Documented personal projects, a GitHub repository with real engineering work, or a capstone project with clear design decisions can substitute for direct professional experience.
Do you need a degree for remote development engineer jobs?
Not always. Many remote development engineer postings list a degree as preferred rather than required, and distributed teams often weigh demonstrated engineering output more heavily than credentials. What matters most is a verifiable record of solving real engineering problems, whether through professional work, personal projects, or technical certifications in relevant tools and methodologies.
Which industries hire the most remote development engineers?
Most remote development engineer openings sit in Insurance, Technology & Software, and Fintech, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors hire development engineers onto distributed teams because the core work, designing, modeling, simulating, and validating, translates well to remote collaboration through shared engineering platforms and async documentation.
