Role
Who you are
- 5+ years in software development, including experience building high-quality, backend services with high stability
- Hands-on coding skills and architecture patterns, with the ability to lead by example technically
- Proven experience as an Engineering Manager, leading, mentoring, and developing a team of engineers
- Skilled in performance management, feedback delivery, and creating growth opportunities for engineers

- Skilled in working across functions to drive aligned, impactful outcomes, with excellent communication and problem-solving skills
- Eager to improve processes and team health, with a mindset for problem-solving that considers both immediate and long-term impacts
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 a Software Engineering Manager, you’ll play a critical role in both driving technical excellence and fostering the growth of a high-performing team. You will manage a group of engineers, while also having your hands in the code, building and reviewing critical parts of our applications.
- When you’re not making technical contributions, you will focus on team building, coaching, performance management, career development, and organizational improvements. This role gives you the opportunity to make a meaningful impact through mentorship, cross-functional partnership, and building a strong technical foundation.
- You’ll partner cross-functionally with product, design, and other engineering leaders to drive outcomes, not just output. You’ll be in a position of trust, teaching and mentoring ICs, with a focus on improving both technical craftsmanship and team health
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.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Fetch
Shonita Torry, SHRM-CP (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging Specialist )
- Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging are key areas of focus for Fetch as we grow.
- As we build a more DEIB focused organization it is every one of our jobs to become more inclusive in our thoughts, speech, decisions and actions.
- Diversity. The presence of a multitude of demographic differences within our teams.
- Equity. Promoting fairness while acknowledging the different needs of individuals within our organization as they pertain to our internal processes and procedures.
- Inclusion. Our focus on our employees' feeling they are respected, have agency and are able to participate and achieve to their goals.
- Belonging. The sentiments and feelings of psychological safety and support when inclusion is realized. Belonging occurs when there is an acceptance of individuals regardless of their intersections of identity.
- Our objective is for people of all identities to be included and represented across our organization. We practice inclusion and representation by amplifying voices, creating and maintaining respectful relationships, and cultivating an equitable workplace and community for all.
- To accomplish this objective, we've implemented New Hire INCLUSION orientation on day one.
- "My personal belief is that when a company leads with INCLUSION first, then Diversity, Equity, and Belonging will organically grow. This is what we are creating at Fetch - a CANVAS of INCLUSION. You get to help paint on this canvas." Shonita Torry SHRM-CP, DEIB Specialist
