Senior Frontend Platform Engineer

At Rover, pets and their people are at the heart of everything we do. We connect pet parents with trusted pet care across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia.

Headquartered in Seattle and Barcelona, we’re a values driven, fast-growing tech company focused on building safe and personalized experiences tailored to the needs of each unique pet. We’re investing in AI as a business accelerator and provide every team member access to AI tools in service of creating better experiences for our community.

We are proud to be recognized as 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. At Rover we’re committed to creating an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming community, which starts with our employees.

We are the Client Platform team. We help other developers at Rover build high quality experiences quickly by focusing on underlying tools and frameworks.

We manage and build out core tooling and platforms for frontend development across the web and mobile apps at Rover. We on rare occasion will work in our Django backend, but it’s not a focus for our team. We are looking for this role to be primarily focused on web and React Native frontend.

Some of our key investments :

1. Continuing to expand our cross-platform Design System. We maintain the shared library of re-usable components that make it easy to build cross-platform apps quickly.

2. Moving the website to be served from Next.js. We are migrating the fundamental tech used to serve Rover.com to a community supported SSR platform.

3. Making it easier to build with AI. Building workflows, skills, techniques, and approaches for AI-based development and migrations across all teams.

4. Moving Rover to a React Native-first app + development cycle. We are completing our React Native migration (now serving 90+% mobile views) and fully migrating to a React Native development cycle.

5. Managing Rover’s adoption of modern tech - notably Next.js, React Query, Expo, and others.

As a Platform team, we build out the fundamental tech that powers the internals of Rover.com and the mobile apps. We empower developers to be able to focus more on building great experiences than fighting their tech.
