Technical Recruiter

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.

Maheswari Govindaraju

Director of Product Management

CUSTOMER-FIRST, ALWAYS

Creating intentional, sustainable products

It’s not outside the norm for technologists at enterprise companies to be given a task without the full scope of the project at hand. At Chewy, that couldn’t be further from reality. On Govindaraju’s team, they start each project discussion by asking the question, “What is the customer problem we are trying to solve?” The result? “A culture based on long-term innovation and sustainable products,” Govindaraju said.

Those kinds of questions strengthened my view that being customer-first is not just one of our operating principles on paper — it’s the core of our company.
