Pet Media Group is the leading operator of online marketplaces for pets and their related goods and services.

Through our trusted and local brands, we help thousands of animals every day to find a new loving home as well as assisting their human caregivers in the process. Our ambition is to continue to provide trust, safety and convenience to both pets and their caregivers.

Our mission is to partner with and acquire the leading pet and horse marketplaces across Europe, and add value to consumers, businesses and animals alike through technology, marketing, operations and capital.

About us

Pet Media Group (PMG) is a scale-up that acquires, launches, and develops market-leading pet marketplaces globally, with over 1.5 million animals finding new homes through our platforms every year. We currently live in 6 different countries (UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Italy, Spain and most recently US), despite only launching 5 years ago. Here is an example of one of our apps :   Pets4Homes.co.uk

The way pets find new loving homes has virtually remained the same for centuries, and we are on a mission to make that process more trusted, safe, and convenient through innovative technology. We’re a young and ambitious team who have built unicorns in the past (e.g. Avito) and we are backed by some of Europe’s leading investors (e.g. Verdane and Otiva) who are early investors in leading companies such as Klarna, CAIA, Apotea and Easypark.

As part of our growth, we are expanding our Monetisation team and for that, we are looking for a BE-focused full stack engineer to join us in our journey towards building great products in the payment processing & value-added services, and and improving the user experience in the payment domain.

As a Full stack engineer, we expect you to be familiar with building sophisticated architecture and have an in-depth understanding of the entire web and application development process.
