Chewy operates a large-scale e-commerce platform for pet products, supplies, and prescriptions, underpinned by a tech stack heavily weighted toward data infrastructure (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Kafka, dbt, Apache Airflow) and ML tooling (Qdrant, Pinecone, Milvus, FAISS). Current hiring focus is dominated by healthcare roles (70 openings) and operations (53), with much smaller engineering (26) and data (16) teams — a signal that the business is pivoting toward veterinary services and supply-chain optimization rather than platform scaling. Active projects span dynamic bidding algorithms, click-through prediction, and ads-ranking models, suggesting expansion into advertising as a revenue stream alongside core e-commerce.

Chewy is a public e-commerce company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Plantation, Florida, serving pet parents with online pet supplies, medications, and related services. The company employs over 10,000 people and operates 24/7 customer support alongside fast shipping offerings. Current operations span three distinct areas: core e-commerce retail (inventory, vendor management, shipment quality), veterinary services (reflected in the launch of new veterinary practices), and advertising (on-site and off-site sponsored ads with ranking and relevance models). Workforce data shows concentrated hiring in healthcare and operations roles, indicating active build-out of veterinary capabilities and supply-chain efficiency.
Chewy uses Microsoft Office, Excel, Workday, ServiceNow, and SharePoint for operations; Java, Kotlin, and Python for backend engineering; Terraform and Jenkins for infrastructure; and AWS, GCP, and Azure for cloud compute. Data processing runs on Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift; transformation via dbt and Apache Airflow; and ML via Qdrant, Pinecone, Milvus, and FAISS.
Active projects include launching veterinary practices, developing dynamic bidding and auction algorithms, introducing sponsored ads offerings (on-site and off-site), building click-through and ads-ranking prediction models, forecasting and inventory planning, process automation, and safety metrics tracking.
