Who we are: Yourgi is on a mission to become Earth's most trusted pet care connector, connecting pet parents with a reliable local network of certified professionals, pet resorts, and veterinary centers. Backed by a passionate team, our mission is to make pet care simple, accessible, and joyful for all. Because pets aren't just animals—they're family.
Yourgi's mission is to be pet parents' most trusted source for pet care services. We are building a differentiated experience for both pet parents and pros through our marketplace and software platform. Pet parents book grooming, boarding, daycare, and training, and independent pet-care pros run their businesses with Yourgi Pro, Connect, and Match. We also power booking for Destination Pet's own locations.
You'll build Yourgi's engineering services function from the ground up: DevOps, SRE, release engineering, infrastructure as code, data pipelines, security operations, and data governance. Your job is to make deploys boring, rollbacks instant, production visible, and data trustworthy. You'll lead a small team of DevOps and SRE engineers, some nearshore, stay hands-on, and set the operating practices every product team follows.
