• Deliver full-stack feature work across a modern TypeScript and Next.js App Router codebase, including server actions, API routes, and service-layer logic • Build accessible, responsive, design-system-driven UI in React, bringing the same care and discipline to the front end as to the back end • Design and maintain clean service, domain, and persistence boundaries that support a scalable, maintainable, and auditable codebase • Work with PostgreSQL via Prisma and Supabase, or bring comparable depth with relational databases and ORMs • Implement and maintain authorization-aware data access patterns, with a strong understanding of auth, session management, and security considerations in a regulated or fintech-adjacent context • Build and maintain form-heavy transactional workflows using schema validation approaches such as React Hook Form and Zod • Integrate with CMS platforms, ideally Contentful, to support content-driven product surfaces • Write meaningful tests across unit, component, and integration layers using Vitest or equivalent tooling, with a focus on testing the flows that matter most • Work within a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions and deploy to Vercel, maintaining delivery hygiene and production reliability • Bring comfort and prior experience working with regulated workflows, investor portals, admin tooling, or data integrations involving platforms such as Databricks or Azure • Collaborate with product, design, and engineering partners to shape solutions, not just implement them.
Job Requirements
- Strong, production-proven TypeScript and Next.js App Router experience is essential
- Full-stack capability across both server-side logic and client-side React, with a genuine appreciation for UI craft and accessibility
- Architecture discipline: you think carefully about boundaries, dependencies, and data flow, and you build systems that are easy to reason about and extend
- Security and authorization awareness, particularly in contexts where data sensitivity, auditability, and access control are non-negotiable
- A product-minded engineer who takes ownership of outcomes and brings judgment to prioritization, tradeoffs, and quality
- Comfortable articulating technical decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical collaborators
- Thrives when faced with new challenges and consistently looks to improve client deliverables and team practices.

Role Description Fetch’s web properties already reach a large and growing audience. Today, most of that traffic has nowhere to go; we don’t have the web product infrastructure to capture it, and our marketing platform makes it harder than it should be for our growth teams to move quickly. We’re changing both of those things. We’re building a Growth Engineering team responsible for turning Fetch’s web presence into a real acquisition and activation channel. That means a modern, marketer-friendly publishing platform that removes engineering as a bottleneck, and a new web product layer that can engage and convert visitors into Fetch users. We’re building a senior team to do this work. We believe experienced engineers get significantly more leverage from AI tooling, and we’re structuring the team around that. This is early-stage work. You’ll help shape what the web product looks like, not just build what’s already been spec’d. This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US offices or remotely in the United States. Role Responsibilities - Web Platform (Phase 1) - Lead the migration from our legacy CMS to a modern stack that lets marketers publish independently, without an engineering ticket for every change. - Own platform health end to end: performance, Core Web Vitals, deployment pipeline, caching, monitoring, and incident response. - Partner with Growth Marketing to ship work that drives organic acquisition, B2B lead generation, and conversion. - Web Product (Phase 2 and ongoing) - Help define and build web-native acquisition and activation experiences that convert existing site traffic into engaged Fetch users. - Work with Product, Growth Marketing, and the app teams to design flows that bridge the web and mobile experience. - Contribute to the technical and product thinking on what Fetch on the web should look like; this is greenfield work, and your perspective matters. - Across both - Write production code, lead code reviews, and hold a high bar for quality, testing, and operational readiness. - Proactively identify and drive improvements, refactoring, reliability work, developer tooling without waiting to be asked. - Coach and give meaningful feedback to peers; invest in the team’s technical growth. - Collaborate with DevOps, Data, B2B, and Mobile teams on integrations, analytics, and shared infrastructure. - Use AI tools fluently, not as a novelty, but as a core part of how you work. Qualifications - 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong full-stack background on user-facing web products. - Deep experience with modern JS frameworks (Svelte and SvelteKit) and TypeScript. - Experience shipping consumer-facing products at scale; you’ve owned features that real users depend on, not just internal tooling. - Solid understanding of CDN and caching strategies, deployment pipelines, and web observability. - Experience with headless or traditional CMS architectures (Contentful, Sanity, Strapi, or similar). - A track record of owning and delivering complex, high-ambiguity projects end-to-end, defining the approach, not just executing tasks. - Demonstrated ability to raise the quality bar: initiating refactors, improving test coverage, and reducing operational overhead without being directed to. - Comfortable partnering directly with non-engineering stakeholders; marketing, product, design, and translating their goals into clear technical plans. - Energized by ambiguity and early-stage work; you’re the kind of engineer who helps figure out what to build, not just how to build it. - You use AI tools fluently in your day-to-day work and have genuine opinions about how to get the most out of them. Nice to haves/Bonus Points - Experience building consumer signup, onboarding, or activation flows. - Familiarity with affiliate or e-commerce integrations. - Prior experience with a CMS migration or web replatforming effort. - Familiarity with SEO, Core Web Vitals, and analytics instrumentation on marketing sites. - Experience with experimentation frameworks and A/B testing tooling. - Background building marketing websites at scale. Compensation At Fetch, we offer competitive compensation packages including base, equity, and benefits to the exceptional folks we hire. The base salary range for this position is $190,409 - $224,011. Discover our benefits and how our employees live rewarded at https://fetch.com/careers .
