ABOUT BARK

Here at BARK, we love dogs and their people. We’re looking to make all dogs happy throughout the entire world (we’re not kidding). Think Disney for dogs -- we make magic for dogs and their people through our products, events, and experiences.

Our ambition level is high, the opportunity is huge, and our love for dogs is through the roof! We launched in 2011 with BarkBox, a monthly-themed subscription of all-natural treats and clever toys. Since then, we've shipped more than 70 million toys and treats to dogs across the world and use all of that direct customer feedback to inform new initiatives and ways to make magic between dogs and their people. We’ve since expanded into other offerings as well, as we aim to become THE Dog Company for every family with a four-legged, belly-scratch-loving, interspecies family member.

Your work will ensure that every interaction our customers have with BARK online is not only seamless but also delightfully memorable.

We’re looking for an innovative creator, who can fetch the best of AI and UX, creating products that delight both dogs and their humans. If you’ve got a nose for sniffing out great design and a passion for pawsitive user experiences, we want to hear from you! Your designs will play a key role in driving conversions, enhancing brand loyalty, and making every dog and their person feel like they’ve found the happiest place on the internet.
