Industry: Pet Tech Hybrid/On-site

About the Company

Why should dog collars still look like fishing gear from the 1950s? This innovative Pet Tech company asked that same question — and decided to reinvent the entire category.

Founded by veterans from Google, Nest, Square, MakerBot, and Canary, this fast-growing DTC brand is building smart, connected products that deepen the bond between dogs and their humans. Through cutting-edge hardware and software, they’re bringing intelligence, design, and delight into everyday pet care.

They believe technology should enhance love — not replace it. Their products help owners keep dogs safe, healthy, and happy through meaningful data, intuitive design, and beautiful hardware that finally looks like it belongs in 2025.

Help set the engineering culture and technical standards as part of a growing, elite team.

What You Bring

Passion for tackling complex, multidisciplinary problems.

Curiosity and flexibility — you enjoy learning new tools and stacks as needed.

A genuine love for dogs is a big plus
