Petco operates a large-scale omnichannel retail business spanning 10,000+ employees across stores, services, and companion animal health. The hiring footprint is heavily weighted toward operations (785 roles) and sales (428), with a smaller but active engineering team (15) — typical of a mature retail org modernizing digital and backend infrastructure. The tech stack reflects this maturity: AWS, React/Node.js frontend, Workday/Salesforce for enterprise workflows, and analytical tools (BigQuery, Snowflake-adjacent Oracle, MicroStrategy) suggesting ongoing investment in inventory and margin visibility. Active projects around BOPUS (buy-online-pickup-in-store), loyalty, and companion animal operations indicate a focus on bridging physical and digital channels.
