New York, Full-Time ABOUT BARK Here at BARK, we love dogs and their people. We’re looking to make all dogs happy throughout the entire world (we’re not kidding). Think Disney for dogs -- we make magic for dogs and their people through our products, events, and experiences. Our ambition level is high, the opportunity is huge, and our love for dogs is through the roof! We launched in 2011 with BarkBox, a monthly-themed subscription of all-natural treats and clever toys. Since then, we've shipped more than 70 million toys and treats to dogs across the world and use all of that direct customer feedback to inform new initiatives and ways to make magic between dogs and their people. We’ve since expanded into other offerings as well, as we aim to become THE Dog Company for every family with a four-legged, belly-scratch-loving, interspecies family member. THE TEAM The BARK tech team builds the systems and apps that communicate with our customers, warehouses, customer service, payment providers, and more. In short, we create the technology that keeps the business running and (more importantly) makes dogs happy. On the Product Team we make sure those solutions are the very best choice for our business partners, company goals, and customers. We work collaboratively (no such thing as a dumb question) and scientifically (test and measure whenever we can), while taking the work-- but not ourselves -- too seriously.
