About our team

We believe every engineer at Vetcove should have a holistic view of Vetcove and work on many areas of our technology stack. We encourage you to apply to help us grow a system that works with most veterinary hospitals in the country every day. We move lightning-fast in an industry that was previously slow to adopt technology. As Vetcove quickly expands its offerings to better serve veterinary groups and its partners, we’re quickly growing our engineering team to keep pace with the rapid expansion of our business, while maintaining exceptional code quality and system integrity. You’ll have an opportunity to work closely with end users, handle large scale infrastructure challenges, and everything in between. We operate in a fully remote environment, giving you the flexibility to do your best work while staying deeply connected to a fast-moving, highly collaborative team.

• Strong communication skills and comfort collaborating across engineering, product, and operations.

• A focus on predictability, safety, and maintainability — especially when integrating LLM behaviors.
