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. We use all that feedback to inform new initiatives and ways to make magic between dogs and their people. Our goal? To be THE Dog Company for every belly-scratch-loving family member.

THE TEAM

The People team is a high-energy, dog-loving group focused on creating a best-in-show experience for candidates, new hires, and team members alike.
