What We Do

We’re on a mission to empower animal healthcare professionals with opportunities to earn more and achieve greater flexibility in their careers and personal lives.

Powered by groundbreaking technology, Roo has built the industry-leading veterinary staffing platform, connecting Veterinarians, Technicians, and Assistants with animal hospitals for relief work and hiring opportunities.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who’s already gained a solid foundation in full-stack development and is ready to take on more responsibility—whether it’s owning features end-to-end, mentoring junior engineers, or driving architectural improvements.

  • Lead by example through high-quality code, peer code reviews, and mentoring early-career engineers.
  • Own the testing lifecycle for your features—writing unit tests with Jest and end-to-end tests with Cypress.
  • Investigate and resolve production issues, improve observability, and contribute to platform reliability.
  • Partner with DevOps and infrastructure teams to ensure smooth deployments, CI/CD workflows, and system performance.
  • Stay up-to-date on industry trends and best practices, and proactively introduce improvements to tools, processes, or technologies.

Qualifications

  • 2–4 years of professional experience as a Software Engineer, with strong proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript.
  • Experience working with a growing team and early stage startup strongly preferred.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Proficient at writing complex and efficient SQL queries
  • Experience with Node, Express, React, AWS, and relational databases
  • Experience with React Native, Redux, Next.js is a plus

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
