BarcelonaEngineering – Engineering /Full-time /HybridWho we are: At Rover, pets and their people are at the heart of everything we do.Desplácese hacia abajo para obtener una visión general completa de lo que requerirá este trabajo. ¿Es usted el candidato adecuado para esta oportunidad?We connect pet parents with trusted pet care across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia.Headquartered in Seattle and Barcelona, we’re a values driven, fast-growing tech company focused on building safe and personalized experiences tailored to the needs of each unique pet.We’re investing in AI as a business accelerator and provide every team member access to AI tools in service of creating better experiences for our community.We are proud to be recognized as a great place to work, having been named among the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Seattle Business Magazine and Washington’s Best Workplaces in the Puget Sound Business Journal.At Rover we’re committed to creating an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming community, which starts with our employees.Want to make an impact? Join our pack and come work (and play!) with us.Who we are looking for: Every feature Rover ships travels the same path: the environment an engineer builds in, the CI that verifies high quality, the design system it’s assembled from, and the release that puts it in front of pet parents and pet service providers.Two teams own that path: Developer Experience and Client Platform.Their vision is to make development faster, more reliable, and less painful for all makers.As the TPM supporting these teams, your role is to help them deliver that vision.You’ll join Rover’s Technical Program Management team, a small and growing function that sits at the center of how engineering delivers complex, cross-functional work.TPMs here own how programs get executed, drive alignment across organizational boundaries, and bring structured thinking to the hardest problems on the roadmap.Your focus is the platforms Rover’s engineers build on.On the Developer Experience side, that means the environments, tooling, and pipelines engineers work in every day, including the AI-native tooling that is quickly becoming the center of how work gets done here.On the Client Platform side, it means the shared foundations of our web and mobile apps: the mobile frameworks and release infrastructure, our Next.Js web platform, the design system used across every platform, and much of our Cloudflare routing.What connects the two is that both teams build capabilities for makers.Their customers are internal: engineers today, and increasingly designers, PMs, and analysts who now build with AI too.So the hardest part of this job isn’t tracking the work; it’s helping make sure it’s the right work.You’ll aggregate needs across a large, fast-moving engineering organization, separate real friction from loud friction, and, critically, spot duplication.When teams quietly build their own versions of the same capability, you’re the person who notices, names it, and works with the teams involved to get to one.You’ll bring the technical fluency to be a real partner to engineering, not just following a plan but pressure-testing it: reading a dependency chain, spotting gaps and risks early, then driving them to resolution.You’ll develop the roadmap for your programs in partnership with the engineering managers leading these teams, and lead the highest-impact initiatives across both teams, including the work that falls between them.At Rover, that means working fluidly across Barcelona, Seattle, and the remote engineers in between.That extends to how you use AI yourself.We’re looking for someone who has gone past experimenting and is using these tools to change how their own work actually happens: synthesizing large volumes of stakeholder input, automating the recurring overhead of running a program, building workflows that save their teams time.What matters isn’t how many tools you’ve tried; it’s your point of viewon where they create real leverage and where they don’t.This is a role for someone who is energized by making other builders faster and measured by whether they actually adopt what you ship, who moves easily between technical detail and organizational alignment, and who brings order to complexity without adding bureaucracy.Your responsibilities: Develop the roadmap for your programs with the engineering managers leading these teams, turning their priorities into a plan with clear objectives, sequencing, and measures of success.Drive that plan through to delivery: run the cadence, keep dependencies visible, identify risks early, and drive them to resolution or escalate with clarity and context when you can’t.Lead the highest-impact initiatives across Developer Experience and Client Platform, including the work that falls between the two teams, coordinating with the teams that depend on them.Communicate change across the makers who depend on these platforms, from engineers to PMs, designers, and analysts, covering what is shipping, what is coming, and how teams should plan around it.Drive adoption of what these teams build, not just delivery of it.Aggregate what makers actually need.Run the feedback loops with developers and other internal users, turn dense, messy input into a prioritized recommendation, and lead the process that gets the engineering managers to a decision on where to invest.Surface duplication and help drive consolidation.As the organization builds quickly, find where the same capability is being built more than once, make the case for a single, better version, and work with the teams to get there.Define and report the metrics that tell us whether these platforms are working: adoption, cycle time, release health, developer satisfaction.Do your own data discovery to find the signal rather than waiting for a dashboard to be handed to you.Keep programs legible and the teams running well: maintain the project plans, status updates, and documentation others can actually find and use, and propose the process changes that fix inefficiencies you see across your teams and their partners.Your qualifications:4-6 years driving technical projects and programs in a platform, developer tooling, or client engineering context.Experience delivering platforms or internal tooling where your users are other builders, including driving adoption of what you ship with engineering users.Technical fluency across developer tooling and client delivery (CI/CD, development environments, mobile release paths, web platforms and edge routing, shared client libraries), with the judgment to pressure-test plans alongside engineers, catch dependency risk early, and drive it to resolution.Experience aggregating needs across many teams into a clear recommendation, and guiding teams to a decision on what to build, what to skip, and where adoption will come from.This includes naming duplication when two teams have built the same thing and making the case for one.Experience communicating technical change across a broad internal audience of engineers, PMs, designers, and analysts, covering not just what is changing now but what is coming and how teams should plan around it.Strong program management fundamentals: standing up plans and status processes, defining the metrics that measure success, and escalating with clarity when something needs attention.You source your own data rather than waiting for a dashboard.Practical, hands-on experience applying AI to your own work, with a clear point of view on where it creates leverage and where it doesn’t.You won’t check every box on this list, and that’s okay.If most of it sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.Nice to have Experience with mobile release management or modern client architecture, such as React Native, Next.Js, design systems, or edge platforms like Cloudflare.Exposure to AI-native engineering tooling, such as coding agents or MCP integrations.Experience working across European and US teams in a globally distributed organization.Benefits of working at Rover: Long-term incentive plan with a company performance-based cash payoutPension planPrivate medical insurance25 days PTOMeal allowance and flexible
