Technical Program Manager

Job Description:
Our Team
Chewy's Pet Health team is on a mission to make pet healthcare simpler, more accessible, and a little less stressful for pet parents (and their furry sidekicks). From scaling telehealth to optimizing user experiences across the pet prescription space, we're building products that genuinely make a difference in how people care for their pets.
Engineering is at the heart of that journey. We're a curious, collaborative group that cares just as much about why we're building something as how we build. We celebrate wins, learn from missteps without blame, and continuously raise the bar for ourselves and each other. Whether it's contributing to shared platforms or partnering across teams, you'll find plenty of opportunities to make a real impact and grow along the way
