Full Job Posting
About Paws & Co
- We are Paws & Co, the first veterinary brand in this region built to be loved, not just visited.
- We open in Dubai in December 2026 on a simple idea: pet parents deserve peace of mind, and vets deserve a place that protects them.
- Technology is not a bolt on for us, it is how the whole model works.
What you will do
- Lead the build of the website and CMS, kept fast, stable and well documented.
- Build the app: pet health records, booking, telemedicine, vaccination tracking and personalised care plans, built in house and owned by us.
- Integrate the clinical backbone: connect the practice management system, payments, memberships and the data flows that tie the clinic, the app and the member together.
- Uphold data protection and security to UAE PDPL standard.
- Lead the development pod technically: set the standards, review what ships, and hold the quality bar alongside the CTO.
- Build AI into the product and the workflow: prompt engineering and AI native development as part of how the product and the team work.
- Keep the whole system reliable and ready to scale as clinics multiply across the region.
What you bring
- Strong full stack engineering across a modern web stack and relational data.
- Real experience integrating third party systems and APIs: practice management, payments, authentication.
- AI fluency is a must. You are comfortable with modern AI coding tools and prompt engineering.
- Sound instincts on data protection and security, and comfort working with regulated or sensitive data.
- Experience leading other developers or a pod, or briefing an agency.
- Product sense: you build for the person using it, not just the ticket.
- The temperament to lead a build: comfortable owning a lot, shipping fast, and keeping it stable while you do.
What we offer
- Above market pay, and the chance to build the technical backbone from the ground up.
- Our wellbeing programme, the first in the region to take team mental health seriously.
- A real voice in the product and how it works, close to the CTO and the founding team.
- A modern, AI native way of working, and real ownership of the architecture and the tooling you choose.
- One percent of everything we make going back to animal welfare, through our Community Fund.
