Job Description

Build the services that power better pet care!

At Pets at Home, we’re transforming how we deliver care to pets and their owners through smart, scalable technology. As a Services Developer, you’ll play a key role in building the service and API layer that underpins our digital ecosystem, working in Agile teams to design, develop and deliver high-quality solutions that make a real difference.

The role offers hybrid working from our Support Office in Handforth, Cheshire.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Designing & building robust services and APIs to solve business challenges
  • Creating reusable components to accelerate future development
  • Developing and maintaining automated unit and integration tests (TDD where possible)
  • Collaborating with Product Owners and Stakeholders to shape and prioritise features
  • Contributing across the full Agile lifecycle, from backlog refinement to demos and retrospectives
  • Working with internal teams and third-party partners to deliver seamless solutions
  • Maintaining clear, effective technical documentation

What you’ll bring:

  • Strong experience with .NET / .NET Core and C#
  • Exposure to cloud technologies (Azure preferred)
  • Solid understanding of service-oriented architecture and API design
  • Experience working in Agile environments
  • A customer-first mindset with a focus on outcomes
  • Confidence engaging with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Nice to have:

  • Experience with TDD, CI/CD and Azure DevOps
  • Knowledge of SQL / NoSQL databases

Why join us?

  • Be part of a purpose-driven business passionate about pet care
  • Work in a collaborative, Agile environment where your ideas matter
  • Help shape scalable services supporting a growing digital platform
  • Enjoy a flexible, hybrid working model and a supportive culture

If you’re a forward-thinking developer who enjoys solving problems and building impactful services, we’d love to hear from you!

Pets just see people. They aren’t biased and they don’t discriminate. We take our inspiration from pets, and we value and respect difference in all its forms. Our aim is to reflect the diversity of the communities we operate in, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage our people to be themselves so even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly align, if you think you can make a unique contribution through your values and behaviours, we want to hear from you!
