North American waste and environmental services operator across solid, liquid, and soil remediation
GFL Environmental operates a large-scale waste and environmental services network across North America, serving 4+ million households and 135,000+ industrial/commercial clients. The company is modernizing its tech stack—migrating from .NET Framework and ASP.NET MVC to .NET Core and React—while adopting Playwright for testing, suggesting an engineering-led infrastructure refresh. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 957 open roles, but the composition is heavily operations-focused (652 ops roles) versus engineering (31), reflecting a business centered on field execution and logistics optimization rather than software development.
