About us

Pet Media Group (PMG) is a scale-up that acquires, launches, and develops market-leading pet marketplaces globally, with over 1.5 million animals finding new homes through our platforms every year. We currently live in 6 different countries (UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Czech Republic), despite only launching 2,5 years ago. Here is an example of one of our apps: Pets4Homes.co.uk

The way pets find new loving homes has virtually remained the same for centuries, and we are on a mission to make that process more trusted, safe, and convenient through innovative technology. We’re a young and ambitious team who have built unicorns in the past (e.g. Avito) and we are backed by some of Europe’s leading investors (e.g. Verdane and Otiva) who are early investors in leading companies such as Klarna, CAIA, Apotea and Easypark.

Who are we looking for?

As part of our growth, we are expanding our engineering team and for that, we are looking for Full stack developers to join us in our journey towards building great tech and further growth.

As a Full stack developer, we expect you to be familiar with building sophisticated architecture and have an in-depth understanding of the entire web and application development process. We’re looking for someone with roughly 3 years of experience in engineering, ideally from our current tech stack (see details further down)
