Senior Backend Engineer

At Sealed, we're unlocking comfort, value and efficiency in aging homes– and transforming energy, finance and home improvement along the way. 

With Sealed, it's easy and affordable to solve the problems that make houses too hot, too cold, and too wasteful. In partnership with energy utilities and certified contractors, Sealed finances key home improvements using the money homeowners currently waste on energy. 

Homes are renewed from the inside-out– all without increasing homeowners' expenses. Upgrades like HVAC, insulation, air sealing and smart home technology transform the way a home feels and functions. Sealed coordinates projects from beginning to end, and we stand behind our work. If we don't reduce a home's energy use, we don't get paid.

Our expert team designs the right solution, matches top-rated local contractors, and manages the project start to finish. Sealed covers the upfront costs, and we’re accountable to impact: if we don’t cut energy waste, we don’t get paid.
