Senior Software Engineer, Client Platform

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.

Meet the Team

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

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.

Some of our key investments

• Continuing to expand our cross-platform Design Library. We maintain the shared library of re-usable components that make it easy to build cross-platform apps quickly.
• 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.
• Moving Rover to a React Native-first app + development cycle. Our mobile apps are a mix of native and RxN code, and we’d like to be all-in on RxN.
• Improving the efficiency of working with the UX team. We are building out new processes to reduce design cycle times on teams.
• Managing Rover’s adoption of modern tech - especially React, React Native, Next.js, React Testing Library, and others.
