Product Software Engineer

Company Description

VET.CT was established in 2009 in Cambridge, UK. Our mission is to help all vets do their best and feel their best every single day. We achieve this through supportive, educational teleradiology and by developing and implementing novel educational strategies for veterinary medicine. Our services were developed with all parts of the veterinary ecosystem in mind: vet students, new graduates, interns, residents, primary care vets, advanced practitioners and specialists.

We look after vets all over the world and we help them care for their patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our team consists of more than 150 veterinary radiologists covering all species, as well as a caring group of vets, vet technicians, vet nurses and vet radiographers.

VET.CT was built on the principles of exceptional quality work and outstanding patient care. Our values are centred on kindness and empathy - we genuinely look after our team and we really do care about our veterinary clients and the animals that they look after. As an organisation, we also strive to play our part in improving veterinary well-being and advancing clinical standards within the veterinary profession.
