Senior Backend / Full stack Engineer (f/m/d) - Team Buyer - Czechia
We help thousands of animals each day to find a new loving home as well as assisting their human caregivers in the process. Our ambition is to provide trust, safety and convenience to the animal world
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, Czechia and Spain), 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.
