About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- This role is approved for Sponsorship and provides relocation assistance to Barcelona.
- It is full-time permanent and hybrid (Mondays & Thursdays in our office in Poblenou, Barcelona).
- We're the team behind one of the most critical moments in the Rover journey: making a booking. Our mission is to make it fast, easy, and intuitive for pet parents to connect with the right sitter.
- We're a cross-functional team based in Barcelona, working closely across engineering, product, design, and data science.
- We make decisions together, support each other, and share ownership of our work.
- Our primary metric is conversion, and because it sits at the heart of Rover's business, our work has a direct, visible impact across the platform.
- You'll be joining seven talented and supportive full-stack engineers who care deeply about clean code, thoughtful collaboration, and delivering high-quality user experiences.
- We take our work seriously, but we also love to have fun together, whether it's team lunches, offsites, or casual coffee chats on the terrace at the office.
- If you're looking to learn from a strong team, make an impact, and enjoy the ride along the way, we'd love to hear from you.
Requirements
What you’ll need- 7+ years of experience as a professional software engineer, with a strong track record of delivering backend systems.
- Technical leadership: you've mentored engineers, driven architectural decisions, led technical design reviews, or shaped team engineering practices, formally or informally.
- Strong backend engineering experience, ideally in Python and Django. If your background is in another major backend language (Java, Go, C#, Kotlin), that's absolutely welcome, what matters most is engineering depth, and we'll support you in ramping up on our stack.
- Solid knowledge of relational databases (schema design, query optimization, migrations)
- Observability mindset: experience instrumenting services with structured logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting. You care about understanding system behavior in production, not just at deploy time.
- Strong testing discipline: you champion automated testing (unit, integration, contract) and treat it as a core part of shipping, not an afterthought.
- AI-augmented engineering: you actively use AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Copilot, or similar) in your daily work, for code generation, debugging, refactoring, code review, and exploring unfamiliar codebases. You understand how to write effective prompts, validate AI output critically, and integrate these tools into a professional workflow.
- Comfortable working across the stack: while your strength is backend, you can navigate a React/TypeScript frontend to unblock yourself or collaborate effectively with frontend engineers.
- **A note on qualifications:** we know great candidates don’t always match every requirement. If you’re excited about the role but don’t meet all the listed qualifications, we still encourage you to apply. You might bring strengths or perspectives we haven’t considered—and we’d love to learn more.
