The role

We are looking for a DevOps Specialist / Site Reliability Engineer to join our team. PMG is growing fast and you will be essential in helping us run reliable, healthy, secure and scalable systems.

If you embrace the DevOps philosophy and culture, and want to be part of a team that enables pets to find new loving homes, then this is the place for you!

About us

Pet Media Group (PMG) is a Stockholm-based scale-up that acquires, launches and develops market-leading pet marketplaces globally, with over 1.5 million animals finding new homes through our platforms every year. We are currently live in 6 different countries (UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Czech Republic), despite only having launched 3 years ago. Here is an example of one of our apps: Pets4Homes.co.uk

The way pets find new loving homes has virtually remained the same for centuries, and we are on a mission to make that process more trusted, safe and convenient through innovative technology. We’re a young and ambitious team who have built unicorns in the past (e.g. Avito) and we are backed by some of Europe’s leading investors (e.g. Verdane and Otiva) who are early investors in leading companies such as Klarna, CAIA, Apotea and Easypark.
