UNLEASH YOUR FULLEST POTENTIAL

Join an environment that’s driving innovation

Forget the legacy platforms and technologies of yesteryear: “We are creating a new status quo by pushing ourselves past what we can imagine,” Owens said. At Chewy, technologists work with of-the-moment tools and infrastructure, and find plentiful opportunities for greenfield projects: By the end of 2020, Chewy will be nearing full migration into AWS, which will require lots of new code to be written from scratch.

We want our engineers to be the one-stop-shop for all things technology. We look for ‘builders’ who have the desire and passion to never stop learning and acquiring new skills to put in their tool belt.

HIT THE GROUND RUNNING

Making an impact from day one

Being an entry-level engineer doesn’t mean working on entry-level projects. Recently, Shinde, an engineer on the delivery experience team, created an API that connects customer’s queries with shipment statuses, a project that could have a significant impact on Chewy’s bottom line. Shinde credits an environment of continuous learning that has, to date, exposed her to more than a dozen new languages and tools.

My exposure to popular and effective software has been critical to my development as an engineer, and my team is always ready and willing to answer my questions.

SUPPORTING PET PARENTS

Building products to support pets — and their people

Natalie Liem knows her work on Chewy’s CarePlus pet insurance and wellness plans makes life better for both people and their pets. “Many friends and family members have struggled with unexpected vet bills or have had to compromise routine pet care because of the expenses entailed,” she said. By making pet insurance and wellness plans more accessible, Liem is hopeful for the future of pet health. “By working with a trusted brand like Chewy, pet parents can feel less burdened by the ‘what ifs’ of affording veterinary care.”

Chewy can offer pet parents so much in both new products, and through connecting existing, established parts of our site.
