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 talented engineer who wants to grow their skills building 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 solid 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
What it's like here
We're ambitious, collaborative, and genuinely enjoy building together. The Fetch team is smart, thoughtful, and kind – low ego, open, caring, and always supportive.
You'll be involved early in strategy. You're encouraged to give your opinion and debate with founders and the rest of the team
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 try things
Work on a product genuinely loved by tens and tens of thousands of pets, pet parents and vets
We're growing FAST. It's an exciting time to join and you'll directly impact the future of our products
We say "steward" not "owner" – the accountability is real, the language signals how we hold it

Competitive Series A salary + meaningful equity
Hybrid working (3 days Sydney office, flexible WFH)
Latest MacBook Pro and a top setup
