Software Engineer I - Full Stack

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-Rx 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 it. 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.

Your Role:

Chewy is hiring a Software Engineer I (Full Stack) for our Boston, MA office to join our Pet Health Storefront team. In this role, you’ll help shape the experiences that pet parents rely on when it matters most, from finding the right prescription diet to seamlessly managing orders after checkout.

You’ll take ownership of the path-to-purchase and post-order experience for vet diet and prescription products, helping turn complex healthcare workflows into smooth, intuitive journeys. While you’ll work across the stack, your primary focus will be crafting modern, thoughtful user experiences that are fast, accessible, and genuinely enjoyable to use.

Day to day, you’ll collaborate with designers, product managers, and fellow engineers to build features, experiment with improvements, and use data to guide decisions. If you enjoy seeing your work directly improve customers’ lives (and maybe a few wagging tails along the way), you’ll feel right at home here.

Responsibilities:

• Own and enhance the end-to-end customer experience for vet diet and prescription purchases, including post-order flows
• Design, build, and maintain scalable frontend applications and reusable UI components and widgets across domains
• Apply modern frontend standard methodologies to deliver responsive, accessible, and high-performance user interfaces
• Partner with product and analytics teams to drive data-informed optimizations that improve customer experience and conversion
• Contribute across the stack by designing and integrating with backend services and APIs
• Debug production issues and implement robust, maintainable solutions
• Participate in improving team practices around testing, observability, and deployment
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and service architecture
• Participate in on-call rotations and support operational excellence

Minimum Qualifications:

• 1+ years of software engineering experience
• Strong experience with modern frontend technologies such as JavaScript/TypeScript, React (or similar frameworks), and component-based architecture
• Familiarity with modern frontend tooling (e.g., Next.js, Vite, Webpack, Babel, npm/yarn/pnpm)
• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs
• Experience with backend technologies such as Java, Spring, or similar frameworks
• Experience employing AI-powered development tools and workflows (e.g., Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, or similar) to improve engineering velocity, code quality, and developer experience
• Understanding of web performance, accessibility, and responsive design principles
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or similar field, or equivalent experience

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience building design systems or shared component libraries
• Experience with Next.js or similar SSR/SSG frameworks
• Familiarity with frontend testing frameworks (e.g. Playwright, Jest, React Testing Library)
• Familiarity with modern application observability platforms and integrations (e.g. Datadog, Dynatrace, or similar)
• Experience with data-driven product development, including A/B testing and analytics tools
• Experience with AWS or similar cloud platforms
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, or modern DevOps practices
• Experience contributing to CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions)

• The specific salary offered to a candidate may be influenced by a variety of factors including but not limited to the candidate’s relevant experience, education, and work location. In addition, this position is eligible for 401k and a new hire and annual equity grant. C08+ positions may also be eligible for annual bonus.
