Who we are:
Rover.com
connects pet parents with the nation’s largest network of pet sitters
and dog walkers. On Rover, pet parents can easily discover, book, and
manage personalized care for their dogs including pet sitting, dog
walking, and doggy day care. Founded in 2011 on the belief that everyone
should have the opportunity to experience the unconditional love of a
dog, Rover improves and simplifies life for pet parents and the dogs
they love.
We're
headquartered in downtown Seattle. We're an agile, fast-growing
startup, and our leadership comes from some of the country's most
respected tech companies. We've been named among Seattle's "Best Places
to Work" in Seattle Met magazine, Seattle Business Magazine, and the
Puget Sound Business Journal." We're also a recipient of Seattle
Business Magazine's 2015 Tech Impact Awards. Needless to say (but we're
going to say it anyway)—we love dogs, and we wouldn't dream of going to
work without them by our sides.
Who we're looking for:
Rover
seeks a passionate, experienced IT System Administrator to own the
entire IT user experience for Rover’s European offices in Barcelona,
London and Berlin! This position supports all IT software, hardware and
services across Europe. As IT’s sole team member in Europe, this person
will be involved in delivering the IT department’s global initiatives
as well as end user support for Rover employees. Rover is transitioning

teamwork skills, loves to build scalable technology and has propensity
for problem solving.
What does IT look like at Rover?

leverage cloud based services exclusively to ensure maximum scalability,
adaptability and security. For all non-SaaS services, we run our own
AWS Kubernetes cluster to ensure that we have no servers onsite. IT
constantly strives to deliver the best technology solutions that support
Rover’s mission of making it possible for everyone to experience the
unconditional love of a pet. Our company and team are growing rapidly,
so the ideal candidate will have experience working with tools that are
needed during our transition from small to a large organization.
Rover embraces diversity and opposes discrimination.
This position is based at the Rover office in Barcelona.
Candidates must be eligible to work in Spain.
