You will be an integral part in helping us to ensure we can build and scale our product and services for our Operations teams, our loving pet parents and our veterinarian partners across the country.
This role will act as our Tech/Team Lead, reporting to our Sr. Director of Product, and presents a unique opportunity to build and grow sustainable processes for our technology team, while working collaboratively with business/operations counterparts to drive outcomes.

- Define technical team goals and implement workflow efficiencies to drive team velocity
- Own the tech stack by defining architecture and tools, identify key areas for tech investment, and strategize for reducing tech debt
Leadership Responsibilities – Team Management:
- Serve as the Tech Lead – being both a hands-on technical manager to our US and Lisbon-based team members, and coding your own projects
- Oversee and manage engineering project timelines and deliverables, working in conjunction with our Head of Product to ensure roadmap deliverables can be met
- Foster a collaborative and sustainable team culture that promotes an inclusive environment where engineers of diverse backgrounds can thrive
About You:
- You have 9+ years of experience as a software engineer with at least 2 years in a leadership role (Tech Lead, Engineering Manager, or similar role)
- Ruby experience required, JS and React preferred
- You have experience working with a team distributed over multiple time-zones
- You have led complex projects at scale, and maintained them over many release cycles

- You thrive in a fast-paced work environment
- You have an all-hands-on-deck attitude with an ability to remain calm and excel under pressure
- You have the ability to learn and adapt to new processes and procedures
- You have a strong sense of ownership and accountability
