FirstVet is the first truly digital veterinary clinic. We let pet owners meet with licensed veterinarians via their mobile or computer. But we don't stop there – we've expanded to include an E-commerce platform, offering a comprehensive solution for pet owners. Our solutions contribute to a more balanced and better functioning pet care process for all parties.

In order to facilitate FirstVet’s continuous growth, we are now looking for a mobile app engineer to join our Tech Engagement team. If you're passionate about how you can contribute to shaping the future of animal health care, join us at FirstVet, where you can make a real impact.

The role

At FirstVet, we work in small cross-functional autonomous teams, focusing on building the future of pet care by developing different aspects of our product. The Engagement team focuses on developing backend services and frontend UIs related to our authentication flow, the booking flow, as well as payment solutions. Both improving existing solutions and developing new features and functionality.

Regardless of your experience, in this role we are expecting you to actively challenge yourself as well as your colleagues in improving our services. We believe that you have the ability to independently, or with the support from your team, drive technical solutions from start to completion. Learning is fundamental, not just new technologies but also understanding what drives our customers to use our services within the product.

Your responsibilities

• Design and develop our application for iOS and Android using React Native
• Collaborate with designers, product managers and other engineers, being involved in the whole lifecycle of our products
• Improve and streamline our mobile application delivery pipeline
• Make sure that we have good metrics, monitoring and alerting in place
• Strive to continuously learn and master the latest technologies and techniques

Desired qualifications

• 3+ years experience building mobile applications with React Native
• Proven ability to collaborate with team members and other stakeholders with a proactive approach
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English
• Previous experience of working with or willingness to learn Vue.js is a plus
• Previous experience of working with consumer centered products is a plus

Apart from the above-mentioned requirements, it goes without saying that an interest in animals is highly desirable. We’re a pet-oriented organization and it’s not unusual to run into our office dogs or for a cat to join our video calls!
