Senior Software Engineer 1

Who We Are The Farmer's Dog was born from a mission to change the landscape of pet health, providing dogs and their humans with honest, smart, and simple care. We're starting by radically improving the $90 billion pet food industry, replacing bags of highly-processed pellets with a personalized subscription service that sends complete and balanced, freshly-made dog food directly to customers' doors. 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, holistic approach to growth, and dynamic culture uniquely position us to shepherd this backwards industry into the future. To date, The Farmer's Dog has delivered over 1 billion meals nationwide and raised over $150M in funding to help us build a company as healthy as the dogs who are eating those meals. Join us as we continue to develop ways of bringing peace of mind to customers, health to their companions, and much-needed change to the way people feed and care for their pets. #LongLiveDogs Where You'll Come In What's a day in the life of a Software Engineer like here? You'll work with a talented engineering "pawd" to expand and improve our subscription-based, direct-to-consumer, e-commerce platform that delivers fresh food to pets across the country. Big fan of short feedback loops? You'll deliver high quality, well-tested and peer-reviewed code to production in minutes using our automated CI/CD pipeline. Your solutions will leverage industry best practices including A/B experiments, feature toggles and canary rollouts to confidently release high-impact features that dog lovers will love. At The Farmer's Dog collaboration is an imperative. Our team is full of engineers that love to learn and grow. You'll regularly white board, pair program and review architecture with top-notch peers with experience working at Amazon, Google, Disney, and Apple. We have a great team, but there's still so much to do and figure out. If you're interested in scale and want to be in the room when those architecture decisions are made: you're reading the right job description. We're in that sweet spot of having clear product-market fit, but still having a small enough team that each engineer makes a big impact. You'll work closely with the team to restructure our application architecture to handle our rapid growth at scale. If you want to have the space and agency to make a big impact both for customers, colleagues and our system: The Farmer's Dog is for you. If you're looking for a fully-formed organization with a lot of established processes: a larger company would be a better fit. If you're looking for rapid iteration to find product-market fit: an earlier stage startup would be a better match. How You'll Make An Impact We're looking for software engineers who are excited to make big changes, teach, learn and grow. In general you have: Knowledge of programming languages and software development standard processes to ensure that projects are delivered on time and within budget Analytical and problem solving skills to identify and resolve issues that arise during projects to minimize delays and keep projects on track Experience with multi-functional teams including developers, product managers, and partners to meet project and organizational goals Solid data modeling skills for assessing and expanding our domain.

You are always looking to improve your environment and take things from good to great. Detail oriented internally and externally. You love to build accurate mental models of how things work. Focused on seeking out contrasting opinions so you can learn and grow. Resourceful enough to get the answers you need independently while savvy enough to develop solutions collaboratively.
