About the Position

As a Design Engineer at Vetcove, you’ll sit at the intersection of design and engineering. We believe the best user experiences, especially for our furry friends and the veterinarians that care for them, arise from engineers being intimately involved in the design process from the very first wireframe through pixel perfection.
