About the role

  • Short feedback loops are how we get better, in code and in how we work together.
  • We trust people to do good work and want to keep improving, so feedback flows freely.
  • The same instinct shapes how we ship: peer-reviewed code to production in minutes via CI/CD, and A/B experiments, feature flags, shadow deployments and progressive rollouts to release with confidence.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the end-to-end lifecycle of complex systems and features, from design through long-term operation.
  • You own what you ship in production, not just the merge.
  • Engineers here own the data model end-to-end, from API to database, designing the schemas, migrations, and contracts that hold up as we iterate.
  • Own production operation and monitoring of the systems you build, with awareness of their SLAs. Diagnose root causes and anticipate risk before it becomes an incident. Surface issues with recommendations, not open questions.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Design, Data Analytics, Lifecycle Comms, and others as the work demands.
  • Develop the pod and improve the system. Mentor other Engineers through code review, design feedback, and incident retros. Refine the processes, tools, and on-call practices that raise the bar for everyone.
  • Our ultimate goal is to create innovative, delightful and personalized experiences across all aspects of pet care, and we believe our direct-to-consumer business model,
  • That's why we design, build, and operate our systems in-house, from subscription and e-commerce to fulfillment and delivery, so that every dog and human gets the right experience, every time.

Requirements

  • Own what you ship: you must be able to explain, debug, and maintain it, regardless of how it was produced.

Nice to have

  • You are a strong full stack engineer with 6
  • 8+ years of experience who is comfortable working across the frontend and backend, and you enjoy building features end-to-end (experience in our stack is a plus).
  • You bring strong written and verbal communication, and you see the value in writing down key decisions, tradeoffs, and practices for the people who'll use them.
  • You welcome diverse opinions and actively seek input to challenge your assumptions.
  • You're an owner, have excellent problem-solving skills and can prioritize tasks effectively, with a strong attention to detail
  • You bring pragmatic judgment about when to reach for AI and other new tools and when not to.
  • You are able to thrive in a fast-paced and ambiguous environment, naturally curious and proactive self-starter, constantly on the lookout for new opportunities and solutions.

Skills

  • Leverage AI tools to make your work better than it would be without them.
