We're Beauty Pie. We're the world's first luxury beauty and wellness buyers' club. And we're disrupting the beauty industry, one face cream at a time.
Before we arrived on the scene, if you wanted really great beauty products, you had to shop at traditional beauty retail - and overpay for all the crazy markups. Now, our members have access to shop from the best-quality beauty and wellness products (from the leading labs in France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Japan, Korea, etc) and get a bigger piece of the Beauty Pie.
A bit about our Technology: We are using the latest progressive and native web technologies, alongside headless e-commerce tools and systems, to create a shopping experience nothing like what people experience today. Technologies include Next.js and React, GraphQL, deployed with Terraform on AWS. Driven by data science, machine learning and analytics, from multi-variant testing through to personalising the shopping experience, every customer will have a unique and tailored experience just for them, across every digital channel.
So, what will you be doing?
You will be joining our engineering team as as a Senior Engineer as we scale up to deliver on important business outcomes:
- Building stronger, direct relationships with our members: Enabling push notifications to inform members of offers, products, and upcoming releases
- Providing a tailored shopping experience: Building the foundational capability for hyper-personalised experiences; product recommendations, frequently bought together, and next best offer
- Omni-channel marketing: Accelerating the migration of CRM platforms which provides enhanced efficiency in delivering targeted communication to help drive CTR
The role: You're an Engineer who wants to build high-quality user-centric applications with experience of shipping code at high cadence. You're self-motivated and have a passion for solving complex business problems with simple technical solutions. As an experienced engineer, you'll have exposure to a range of technologies, including some that feature in our stack: AWS, Node.js, Typescript.
A typical day-to-day:
- Contribute to building solutions to complex technical problems
- Delivery of high quality, well tested, maintainable code
- Offer counsel and support to other engineers during PR review
- Work with the product owner to shape future work, plan releases, and measure success in the features you help to deliver
- Work closely with your engineering manager and product owner to chart progress and help inform the predictability of the team's delivery
We believe it's all about mindset, great skills, the right attitude and a fantastic work ethic. If you're aligned to our values, excited about the opportunity, and you're really good at what you do (even if you don't tick all the boxes) apply anyway!
- Demonstrable experience building scalable, robust, well-tested, performant, cloud-native solutions to business problems
- An excellent understanding of Node.js/Typescript
- Experience using other parts of our tech stack (Terraform, AWS, GraphQL, React)
