    Snout <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;snout.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;snout.com&#x2F; | Multiple Engineering + Product Roles | Remote US or Ontario, Canada | Full Time

    Join us at Snout on our mission to ensure no one ever has to make a health decision for their pet based on the cash in their bank account. Snout plans pay for 100% of routine veterinary care, unlimited visits, and additional member benefits - think pet insurance, that you will actually use every year.

    We&#x27;re growing the team and hiring across the board. Open roles:

    Full-Stack Software Engineer - Build and ship every day across our web apps, payments, and data systems, from database to UI.

    Frontend Engineer - Spend ~80% of your time building the React&#x2F;Tailwind experience clinics and pet owners rely on, and ~20% in the Node&#x2F;PostgreSQL backend behind it.

    Backend Engineer - Spend ~80% of your time on the services, data systems, and payments infrastructure behind our wellness plans, and ~20% in the React frontend.

    Data Engineer - Own how data moves through Snout: pipelines, ETL, and integrations, including getting data out of the on-prem software clinics already run.

    Platform Engineer (cloud operations, developer experience, security) - Own our AWS environment, CI&#x2F;CD pipelines, developer experience, and platform security - the foundation the whole team ships on.

    Product Manager - Own discovery-to-delivery for our wellness platform, working shoulder to shoulder with engineering and the rest of the business.

    QA Engineer - Own quality across the platform: test strategy, automation, and the release confidence that lets a small team ship fast.

    Applied AI Engineer - Put LLMs to work across the product and the business, from customer-facing features to internal tooling.

    Across all roles we&#x27;re looking for at least three years of relevant experience, and we&#x27;re hiring senior and staff level engineers as well.

    Our tech stack includes Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, AWS, Tailwind, and Python. We use both JavaScript and TypeScript heavily. Our team uses LLM-based tooling day to day, but we&#x27;re fundamentally a human-centric team, and our product itself does not heavily feature AI components.

    To apply please email kyle@snout.com.
