Software Engineer

Beauty Pie is disrupting the beauty industry. Our aim is simple: provide beauty and health lovers the highest quality health and beauty products, made by the world's best laboratories. As the first luxury beauty and wellness buyers' club, our products are sold directly to our members without the prohibitive industry mark-ups. Technology powers everything that we do, and contributes to making our business model unique!

As part of our team? You'll learn a lot. (We're all learning a lot.) You'll be multi-tasking, you'll make some great decisions and some bad ones. You'll have highs and lows. It won't be easy (because that would be boring). But you'll be moving fast, identifying and solving problems, iterating and evolving, and you'll bring your best to the game. In fact, it's not very often you get an opportunity like this - to help grow a great brand, for a rocketship of a business that will scale in size and go global. One that thrills its customers. And delivers happiness. We'll be asking for your input, experience, teamwork, ideas, and camaraderie, while we navigate the unknown, the mysterious and the upside together!

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.

And finally

The code we write is largely based on Javascript, although we're not afraid to explore new and emerging technologies and tools if they are right for us. Our progressive storefront uses Next.js for a lightning fast user experience that is discoverable by search engines. We use Chakra UI for our React component library to build a world class customer experience. We'll likely build native at some point too, though we haven't yet decided whether to build native or use React Native. No need to rush into decisions!

Our clients are separated from our core services by a GraphQL BFF, providing a clean abstraction and allowing the frontend to iterate independently from backend services. We use a combination of third party solutions and our own services built using node.js. We host all most of our technical estate within AWS, using Terraform to create consistent and reproducible environments.

It's not all about the languages and tools we use. Continuously delivering business value through rapid delivery, learning and adapting is our mantra. We use the latest modern software delivery processes with an ambition to automate everything, branch, build, deploy, test, ship, watch, monitor and alert all fully automated, so we can focus on building an awesome experience for our customers and back office business.
