Job description

About the Role

A bit about the role. As part of a Platform Engineering team, you will work closely with engineers, product managers, designers and stakeholders to help solve our customers' problems and directly impact their (and their dog's) daily lives.

You will be joining a newly formed internal product team—it's a small team, so your work will carry great weight and have a great impact on the business.

The product is built with Ruby on Rails. Other highlights of our tech stack include a few screens built with React, Unpoly and Postgres. Our payments engine is built on Stripe, we use Git to manage code, GitHub Actions for CI, and we host with Render.
