About Fetch

Fetch is how modern pet parents give their pets the best care 🐶🐱. One pink app 🩷 for insurance, health, and care – easy, fair, and kinda fun. We’ve raised our Series A from Lightspeed and Airtree, customers love us (rated #1 by Choice Magazine!), and we’re growing fast.

We’re looking for a sharp, ambitious engineer who’s excited to build AI-driven products that improve pet health, streamline veterinary care, and help millions of pets live healthier lives.

• Location: Sydney (Hybrid – Tue/Wed/Thu in-office)

• Compensation: Series A salary + meaningful equity upside

• Stack: TypeScript, React, Next.js, NestJS, GCP

• Tooling: Cursor, Claude, and unlimited AI tools – no token limits

Your role

You'll work alongside our team to build features that make a real difference to pet health and veterinary care. You'll have the chance to learn, grow, and contribute to meaningful outcomes.

• 🛠️ Ship features that improve pet health and veterinary care

• 📈 Build systems to manage pet health data and streamline workflows

• 🤖 Work with AI to create reliable, production-ready features

• 🔍 Collaborate with vets, ops, and product teams to solve real problems

What you'll build

• Event-driven systems: Integrating and cleaning data from veterinary systems into clearly defined, auditable domain events

• Real-time workflows: Vet visits triggering health record updates, follow-up reminders, and actionable insights

• AI-powered features: Automating triage, symptom evaluation, summarisation, and personalised care recommendations

• Workflow engines: Building robust systems with audit trails and human oversight

• Production AI: Turning AI outputs into clear, safe decisions using structured outputs and verification

• Core platform components: Foundations (Pets, Health Records, Care Plans) that enable rapid innovation

About you

You're a super smart engineer who's keen to learn and grow. You care about building things properly and creating real impact for pets and their families.

• 3+ years shipping software in a production environment

• Comfortable with TypeScript, React, Next.js, and GCP (or willing to learn quickly)

• Pragmatic approach – you understand tradeoffs and when to move fast vs. build for scale

• Care about code quality, testing, and maintainability

• Good communicator who works well with others

• Solid understanding of backend fundamentals: distributed systems and queues

• Some experience with event-driven architectures or workflow systems (or keen to learn)

• Interest in production AI (structured outputs, evaluation, guardrails) – experience a plus but not required

• Bonus – experience in healthcare, veterinary, fintech or related industries

• 🤪 Weird is welcome. We value unexpected perspectives and people who think differently, so just be you.

• 🤖 Unlimited AI tooling - no token limits or approvals needed. Just experiment and learn.

• 🩷 Work on a product genuinely loved by thousands of pets and pet parents.

• 🚀 We're growing FAST. It's an exciting time to join and you'll directly impact the future of our products

And the perks:
