Design Engineer @ Fetch Pet đš Design Engineer 16 Sept 2026 Apply here đ About Fetch Fetch is how modern pet parents give their pets the best care. One pink app đ©· for insurance, health and care. Weâve raised our Series A from Lightspeed and Airtree, weâre rated 4.9 on Google, #1 by CHOICE, and weâre growing fast. Now weâre turning Australiaâs fastest-growing pet insurance brand into Australiaâs most-loved consumer pet health brand. Location: Sydney, hybrid, Tue/Wed/Thu in the office Employment: Full time Stack: TypeScript, React, React Native, Next.js, Tailwind Tools: Cursor, Claude and other AI design and development tools
The role Weâre looking for a Design Engineer to help build the future of pet health. Youâll design and build big parts of the Fetch consumer app and the platforms our partners use to support pets and their parents. Thereâs plenty still to figure out, and youâll have real ownership of how these experiences look, feel and work. Youâll work alongside our design, brand, product and engineering team, bringing your own ideas and taking experiences from early concepts through to release. You might be a designer who builds or an engineer with great design instincts. What matters is that youâve designed and shipped interfaces yourself, have a strong eye for detail and can make complicated things feel simple. What youâll own Key experiences across our consumer app and partner platforms, from early ideas to shipped product. UX, visual design, prototypes and frontend code, working with
the team to turn real user needs into thoughtful experiences. Interfaces built in React and TypeScript that are responsive, accessible and reliable. The details that make a product feel great: typography, layout, motion, interactions and clear, helpful feedback. Improvements to our design system, building on the brand and creating reusable components and patterns. Using AI to explore different approaches, prototype quickly and build faster. Refining what youâve shipped, learning from users and improving how it works. About you Youâve designed and built digital products, with work you can show us. You have great taste and strong UI and UX instincts. You can explain why something works beyond how it looks. Youâre comfortable writing frontend code and taking an interface through to release. You can think through a whole journey, including the awkward bits, empty states and things that might go wrong. You work well with designers, product people and engineers, bringing your own perspective and building on theirs. Youâre comfortable exploring a problem before thereâs a perfect brief. Youâll probably love this role if Your camera roll is full of screenshots of interfaces you liked. Youâve downloaded an app just to see how they did the onboarding. A really good interaction makes you stop and play with it a few more times. You notice when somethingâs two pixels off, and itâs hard to leave it alone. You have a side project, half-built prototype or âI wonder if I could makeâŠâ on the go. Youâre always trying new AI tools and sending
the team things youâve made. You have opinions, enjoy debating ideas and can change your mind. You care about getting the details right, but also love getting something out into the world. You want to build something millions of pet parents could use. And occasionally get distracted by an office dog. What itâs like here The Fetch team is ambitious, smart, hard-working, thoughtful and kind. Youâll be involved early, with room to debate ideas with founders and
the team. Youâll work on a product loved by pet parents, vets and the broader pet community. Weâre growing fast, and the things you design and build will directly shape the future of Fetch.
