Full description
Who We Are
The Farmer’s Dog was born from a mission to change the landscape of pet health, providing dogs and their humans with honest, smart, and simple care. We’re starting by radically improving the $90 billion pet food industry, replacing bags of highly-processed pellets with a personalized subscription service that sends complete and balanced, freshly-made dog food directly to customers’ doors. Our ultimate goal is to create innovative, delightful and personalized experiences across all aspects of pet care, and we believe our direct-to-consumer business model, holistic approach to growth, and dynamic culture uniquely position us to shepherd this backwards industry into the future.
To date, The Farmer’s Dog has delivered over 1 billion meals nationwide and raised over $150M in funding to help us build a company as healthy as the dogs who are eating those meals. Join us as we continue to develop ways of bringing peace of mind to customers, health to their companions, and much-needed change to the way people feed and care for their pets.

What We Stand For and Where You’ll Come In
At The Farmer's Dog, we believe the best customer experience comes from owning the technology that powers it. That's why we design, build, and operate our systems in-house, from subscription and e-commerce to fulfillment and delivery, so that every dog and human gets the right experience, every time.
Our engineers work on problems that matter and that are hard: evolving systems to support rapid growth, building platforms flexible enough to serve customers with many different needs, and creating product experiences that didn't exist before.
Short feedback loops are how we get better, in code and in how we work together. We trust people to do good work and want to keep improving, so feedback flows freely. The same instinct shapes how we ship: peer-reviewed code to production in minutes via CI/CD, and A/B experiments, feature flags, shadow deployments and progressive rollouts to release with confidence.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Business Logic pod, you'll work on the systems at the core of how The Farmer's Dog operates: subscriptions, pricing, billing, and order generation. Everything depends on these systems, and we're reshaping them for the next phase of growth. You'll own architectural decisions that other engineers will build on for years, partnering closely with other engineering pods, Product, Design, Data Analytics, and Lifecycle Comms.
We care deeply about building reliable, scalable systems and about working well together, regularly whiteboarding, pair programming, and reviewing architecture with peers who set a high bar. If you want to make an outsized impact on technology, on customers, and on the lives of dogs everywhere, this is the right place for you.
