In this role, you’ll demonstrate your deep expertise in Ads serving technologies, large scale engineering systerms to lead the development of engaging web experiences for both advertisers and pet-parents as Chewy shoppers. As an early member of the team, you’ll be part of shaping the technical strategy, owning core areas of the system architecture, and influencing the user experience across Chewy’s retail media platform and advertiser portal.
