The role
We’re looking for a Design Engineer to help build the future of pet health.
You’ll design and build big parts of the Fetch consumer app and the platforms our partners use to support pets and their parents. There’s plenty still to figure out, and you’ll have real ownership of how these experiences look, feel and work.
You’ll work alongside our design, brand, product and engineering team, bringing your own ideas and taking experiences from early concepts through to release.
You might be a designer who builds or an engineer with great design instincts. What matters is that you’ve designed and shipped interfaces yourself, have a strong eye for detail and can make complicated things feel simple.
What you’ll own
-
Key experiences across our consumer app and partner platforms, from early ideas to shipped product.
-
UX, visual design, prototypes and frontend code, working with the team to turn real user needs into thoughtful experiences.
-
Interfaces built in React and TypeScript that are responsive, accessible and reliable.
-
The details that make a product feel great: typography, layout, motion, interactions and clear, helpful feedback.
-
Improvements to our design system, building on the brand and creating reusable components and patterns.
-
Using AI to explore different approaches, prototype quickly and build faster.
-
Refining what you’ve shipped, learning from users and improving how it works.
About you
-
You’ve designed and built digital products, with work you can show us.
-
You have great taste and strong UI and UX instincts. You can explain why something works beyond how it looks.
