Employment Type : Full-Time

Nom Nom is improving the lives of dogs and cats everywhere. One meal at a time.

Founded in 2015, Nom Nom delivers millions of real, restaurant-quality meals every month through our fresh food subscription service. Prepped, mixed and portioned in our very own kitchens, we obsess all the way down to the calorie to meet the unique needs of every pet we serve. Our board certified veterinary nutritionist and staff of world-class scientists make sure of it, researching, studying and working nonstop to ensure the quality of our recipes while advancing pet health at large.

We’re a team of pet lovers (duh), complacency crushers (you bet) and doggedly-determined experts (woof) that pride ourselves on serving up the best food possible for our four-legged family. We take absolute ownership over everything we do, persistently pushing one another toward creative solutions to complex problems. With a healthy dose of fun when time permits.
