Who we are:
Want to make an impact? Join our pack and come work (and play!) with us.
We believe everyone deserves the unconditional love of a pet—and at Rover, our mission is to make it easier to experience that love. Founded in 2011, the Rover app and website connect dog and cat parents with loving pet sitters and dog walkers in neighborhoods across the US, Canada, and Europe. We empower our community of trusted pet sitters and dog walkers to run their own pet care businesses on Rover with the tools and security of a global company to back them.
Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, we work closely with our teams in Barcelona, San Antonio, Spokane, and remote locations. We’ve got a reputation for being a great place to work, having been named among the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Seattle Business Magazine and Washington’s Best Workplaces in the Puget Sound Business Journal. We're an agile, fast-growing company, and our leadership comes from some of the world's most respected tech companies.
At Rover, our furry coworkers are just as important as our human ones—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Along with making the joys of pet parenthood more accessible, we’re committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming community of pet people—and that starts with our employees.
*This is a hybrid position that has the minimum expectation to work out of our Downtown Seattle Office one day per week on Thursdays.
Meet the Recommendations Team
The Recommendations team is responsible for matching pet parents with the best care providers for their respective needs. We work closely with an adjacent team of analysts, designers, and data scientists to create, test, and release user-impacting marketplace features.
Here are some examples of the types of projects we work on:
- Better matching by collecting structured information from both our pet parents and providers (think: accurate availability details and distance optimizations)
- Improving and maintaining the technology behind search
- Providing engineering support to Data Science as they innovate on the algorithm and ML/AI models that support search
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Recommendations team to help with this mission. From breaking down requirements and writing implementation plans, to building the features and launching them -- you will be a key player in our efforts to delight our customers. Join us if you're interested in both backend and frontend development, want to see the impact of your work on scaling our company, and are excited about the challenges of a marketplace business.
