Software Engineer III

At Chewy, it is our mission to become the most trusted and convenient online destination for pet parents and our partners – vets and service providers – alike. Our success is measured by the happiness of the people and pets we serve, not simply by the amount of pet supplies we deliver. That’s why we continue to think of outside-the-Chewy-box ways to delight, surprise, and thank our loyal pet lovers!

Chewy is passionate about our customers' experience. We move fast to rethink and redesign our supply chain optimization frameworks from ground up. If the opportunity to build a best-in-class supply chain network, make a big impact, and deliver large scale savings intrigue you, we will want to talk to you!
