Our Team
Chewy’s Pet Health is on a mission to build innovative solutions for our customers and our partner vets. We build data driven solutions to bring veterinarians and pet parents together on a single platform. For veterinarians, we bring best-in-class practice management software, Rhapsody, with industry leading veterinary vocabulary, mobile workflow, and scalability for corporate groups of all sizes, as well as best in class analytics solutions to unlock full potential of the practice. For pet parents, we bring a best-in-class mobile app, Boop, a membership- based experience to deeply engage with their veterinarians. Through Boop, pet parents have seamless access to book appointments, manage their pets' medical records, sign-up for wellness/insurance programs, and ultimately build a rich, long-term relationship with their veterinarians.
Chewey's Pet Health is an industry first by combining pet parents and veterinarians into a single platform, serving the entire industry with best-in-class software. Engineering plays a critical role in defining and executing our platform roadmap. We take time to understand the “why” before we start shaping up the “how.” We celebrate engineering successes and promote a blameless and continuous learning and improvement engineering culture. We set the bar high for delivering production-ready code by adopting CI/CD and DevOps engineering best practices.
Our engineers are encouraged to contribute ideas and code to our own platform and to other partner teams. Join our growing team and help us transform the pet industry!
