About this role
About Us Dutch is transforming veterinary care by making expert treatment accessible anytime, anywhere. Our mission is simple: help every pet live their happiest, healthiest life by connecting pet parents with licensed vets through seamless virtual visits.
We’re the only veterinary telemedicine service that can diagnose, prescribe, and ship medications directly to customers in most states. For less than $100 per year, Dutch offers real relief and convenience for pets and their families.
Backed by world-class investors including Forerunner Ventures, Eclipse Ventures, and Bling Capital, our team is made up of successful startup founders (Hims, PlushCare, Nasty Gal) with expertise in scaling enterprises (TripAdvisor, Walmart, BARK). Featured in TechCrunch, Forbes, Wired, and Axios, Dutch is setting the standard for quality, accessibility, and compassion in pet care.
The Role We're looking for a hands-on Lead AI/Data Engineer to build and scale the AI systems powering Dutch. You'll design and ship production AI agents and services for pet parents, veterinarians, and internal teams. You'll also own the underlying AI infrastructure, including evaluation frameworks, prompt optimization, observability, and cost management.
You'll help shape our technical approach to AI development, establish engineering standards, and work closely with product and engineering teams to bring new capabilities into production. This role also includes ownership of key parts of our data platform. You'll build and maintain data pipelines, warehouse models, and analytics and experimentation infrastructure that support our AI systems and broader business needs.
