The Farmer’s Dog was created to radically improve the $90 billion global pet food industry — starting with a subscription service that sends freshly-made food directly to customers’ doors. Long term, our aim is to simplify every part of pet care, bettering the lives of the animals who make our lives better. We recently raised our Series B and are backed by early investors of Warby Parker, Dollar Shave Club, Sweetgreen, and Glossier.
We're building our subscription-based e-commerce platform from the ground up. Our aim is to offer a seamless subscription experience through on-time production, customized products, and best in class customer support.
We're working with a modern stack that includes React, Node, Postgres, TerraForm, Docker and AWS.

The Farmer’s Dog is a VC backe direct-to-consumer pet health brand on a mission to disrupt the $60 Billion pet food industry. Our products are human-quality, personalised and manufactured on demand.
Even though we don't sound like a typical tech company we take pride in doing software development the right way. We’re building a subscription based e-commerce business from the ground up and have plenty of interesting problems to solve. Our aim is to offer a seamless subscription experience through on-time production, customised products and best in class customer support. We have CI and CD processes in place and make use of docker-based microservices via Iron.io. From building node APIs to solving bin-packing problems to optimising fulfillment operations, we have plenty of ground to cover.
We're looking for a mid/senior Software Engineer who's comfortable writing backend (or frontend) code and dealing with docker and aws. Our stack is react (and redux), node, postgres, docker and aws. If this sounds like you reach out at [email protected]

The main sheet contained information about each customer and their subscription, e.g. pets, chosen recipes and subscription frequencies.
One sheet would dynamically populate what and how much we needed to cook for a given week by looking at active customers and their subscriptions. This was broken down per ingredient basis. We'd then place POs, cook and pack the food.
Another sheet would generate orders for the given week based on similar logic. We then used Google Spreadsheets scripting support to generate packing slips, customised feeding guides and food labels. Each asset type had its own Google Docs template. The script filled in the blanks and created a new folder. The resulting files were then exported as PDFs and passed to our fulfillment.
Oh, and we did our own deliveries in NYC too in the early days.
We've since built out our own ecommerce platform from the ground up and we continue to automate fulfillment, customisation and operational processes. Sounds exciting? We're hiring.
