ClearVet – Co-Founder Founding Engineer Fractional to Full-time · Founding team · Remote-first | Equity | Start Q3 2026
ABOUT CLEARVET
ClearVet (clearvet.co.uk) is the UK's vet price comparison platform — named in the CMA's 2026 Final Report on veterinary market transparency. We list pricing across 5,600+ RCVS-registered practices. We're bootstrapped, and on a mission to make pet care transparent, trust and accessible for pet parents.
THE ROLE
We are looking for a founding fractional Product Engineering Lead to help architect and build the next generation of the ClearVet platform. This is a hands-on builder/operator role for someone who enjoys ambiguity, speed, product thinking, and creating scalable systems from scratch. You will work directly with the founders to shape product architecture, marketplace infrastructure, and pricing/data systems. You'll be our first engineer, working directly alongside Callum (co-founder, technical lead) to build the features that get us to 15,000 registered users and beyond.
WHAT YOU'LL BUILD
- Booking system
- Pet savings calculator and interactive quiz — the primary engagement mechanic
- Community reviews system — moderation queue, user profiles, story gallery
- Referral rewards programme — link generation, tracking logic, affiliate API integrations
- Affiliate partner integrations (pharmacy, pet nutrition, insurance)
- AI/GEO infrastructure — llms.txt, schema markup, structured data
- RCVS data feed integration prep
