Join Our Team
At PawPlacer, we're rethinking pet management software through user-driven development. Join our team of passionate engineers and animal advocates working to connect pets with their forever homes.
There are no positions available at this time. Check back in mid-2026 when we plan to expand our team. Roles will include senior full-stack developers and incredibly passionate shelter/foster/rescue volunteers for customer support. We do not post on LinkedIn/Indeed/etc., so just check back here once in a while.
Why PawPlacer
Join our team across the US, Canada, Taiwan, Ukraine, and France, or establish us somewhere new! Work where and when you're most productive.
We prioritize your wellbeing with comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage for you and up to 3 family members.
Your furry family matters - we provide premium pet insurance for up to three pets per employee or unlimited if fostering.
We're fully remote, but once a year we trade Slack for real life. Think brewery tours, rafting trips, paintball matches, ATV rides, skydiving (really, 2 of us did it this year while the others got Sushi), and plenty more. Totally optional, zero pressure—just a chance to hang out, laugh, and have a great time together in Golden, Colorado. Partners are welcome to come, all expenses paid. This is when our petsitting stipend helps.
We believe in transparency, equality, and living a great life. We hire those who accomplish a lot in a little time, and pay them accordingly. Developer roles start at a $180,000 base salary, with annual bonuses based on individual performance, not hours or company performance.
You choose what you work on and what you think you're fastest at. You have full autonomy to choose your own tasks. Out-of-domain and backburner tasks go to leadership so devs aren't stuck in the trenches.
If you prefer to be paid in cryptocurrency, you may choose a custom percentage (1-100%) of your salary to be paid in ETH, BTC, SOL, or USDC directly to your wallet.
Our jQuery and Bootstrap-based PHP app is fully optimized for IE7. Our flash-based widgets will gain TypeScript support in the coming years. If that sentence made you nauseous, you might fit in here. In reality, we use React, TypeScript, Supabase, Tailwind, Postgres, and some AWS.
Join a flat, trust-driven team with full autonomy. No micromanagement, no red tape. Developers talk directly with users to get what they need, keeping communication clear and fast.
Get your choice of the latest MacBook Pro or iMac, plus a $3,000 home office stipend to create your perfect workspace.
We respect your time with minimal meetings, only when necessary. Most communication happens asynchronously or impromptu Slack huddles.
Your voice matters. Contribute directly to company direction and product decisions, regardless of your role. Own your work.
We have a roadmap, but our decisions are entirely from our users and prioritized by the team. We are not afraid to pivot or change course if it's the right thing to do, and it usually is.
We take complex features and build them for non-technical users. This is hard. We strongly promote pair-programming, Slack huddles, and any other rubber ducking methods to help each other out. PawPlacer is a blame-free environment.
During interviews and on the job, you're encouraged to use AI to help you. We care about the quality and security of your final work, not the tools you use to get there. Code reviews can be intense, but they are done with love out of respect for our users and our Infosec's peace of mind.
We need engineers who treat security as non-negotiable, sweat the details in every TypeScript module, and know their way around the tools we live in—Remix, Supabase, Tailwind, Postgres, and a dash of AWS when it matters.
Accessibility is table stakes here—WCAG compliance is a starting line, not a checkbox. We test flows with real humans, listen to the front-line staff using PawPlacer every day, and iterate fast based on their feedback. We are not data-driven; we are user-feedback-driven. If that culture sounds like your kind of thing, you'll fit right in.
Shelter or rescue experience helps, but a deep respect for the people doing that work matters more than years on a résumé, which we don't even ask for. We chase best-of-the-best craft who give a damn, not padded org charts.
As a developer-led and development-focused company, we value any skill that helps us build a better platform. If you have a background in hacking (regardless of hat color), mention it; don't hide it. We self-red-team all the time and are especially interested in those who are into infosec in any capacity.
