What the job involves
- At Fetch, we are passionate about solving challenging problems and embracing ambiguity. Our engineering philosophy promotes adaptability and innovation over rigid adherence to rules. Our engineers thrive in complex environments, making well-informed decisions even in uncertain situations.
- We seek out the necessary information and focus on action and impact, while consistently upholding high technical standards. In this role, you will be a technical leader, shaping best practices to build world-class, user-facing technology. You will mentor fellow engineers, fostering technical growth and collaboration within the team. As a hands-on leader, you will actively contribute to the codebase and deliver features alongside your team
- As an Engineering Manager, you’ll play a critical role in shaping our mobile strategy and delivering world-class experiences to users on iOS and Android

- You’ll drive technical excellence across our mobile applications, setting best practices in mobile development, performance optimization, and UI/UX standards
- Beyond technical contributions, you'll foster a high-performing, collaborative team culture
- You’ll be deeply involved in coaching, mentoring, performance management, and career growth for mobile engineers
- Working closely with product, design, and other engineering leaders, you’ll drive mobile-first thinking and deliver high-impact outcomes—not just output
Our take
Leading mobile shopping and loyalty platform Fetch has seen explosive success in recent years. Its concept is simple: users receive spendable points in exchange for scans of their shopping receipts.
The app has tens of millions of daily active users with even more downloads, and has seen impressive growth, having now reached 'unicorn' status twice over. This should come as no surprise. Brand reinforcement is crucial to customer retention and acquisition - but it is harder than ever, with the fragmentation of choice on the market and the declining efficacy of marketing. So material loyalty benefits are likely to prove a crucial tool in creating and leveraging a strong customer base.
Whilst Fetch faces competition from similar receipt-scan rewards platforms like ReceiptPal and Ibotta, it grew into a profitable company in late 2023. It is using its most recent Morgan Stanley-backed funding to aggressively add brand partners at a competitive pace and onboarding staff at a level that promises strong continued growth.
