Who we are:

Hi, we’re Smalls! We make quality food for cats. We believe that the food your furry friends eat should be prepared with 100% human-grade ingredients, leaving the fillers, mystery ingredients and 25-year shelf lives of traditional pet "food" behind. We consider it both our mission and our privilege to help cats of all shapes and sizes live happier, healthier lives.

We raised our Series A in 2020 and are working towards building a platform that scales with our growth. We are a small team of ~25 with venture funding to grow quickly and prove something!

We're looking for a full-stack engineer to lead our fast-moving engineering team and work collaboratively with product, design, marketing, ops, and customer support.

This person will lead our engineering team, supporting individual engineers as well as the establishment of development processes.

This person will be a key decision-maker, responsible for building and maintaining our platform. You’ll impact revenue by writing high-quality software to support our growing customer base.
