Front End Developer

Charlotte Tilbury

Full-time

On-site

London, United Kingdom

Description

Charlotte Tilbury is the fastest growing multi-axis beauty brand of all time. Highly disruptive and ambitious, we are looking to revolutionise the cosmetics industry. Using technology as a cornerstone of our strategy and enabling the purchase of makeup online to be “easy to use, easy to choose”. We have a highly flexible and customisable tech stack using a headless, API-first driven approach to create a fast and responsive website with modern technology principles at its heart.

Some of our recent achievements include:

Replatforming in less than a year (virtually unheard of in ecommerce) to our new tech stack
Developing the world’s first interactive touchscreen virtual makeup try-on experience using advanced real-time tracking and realistic visualisation. Charlotte’s ‘Magic Mirror’ went on to win Retail Week Tech Awards In-store CX Initiative of the Year.
Giving ‘Magic Mirror’ a machine learning upgrade so that it can now recognise key facial characteristics including eye colour and skin tone and use that information to make personalised recommendations.
Moving to AWS-based infrastructure to withstand the traffic spikes of Cyber Week and the regular TV ads and personal appearances from Charlotte.
Creating our first set of microservices to enable A/B experimentation

Tech stack:

We are building a world-class technology team consisting of alumni from some of the largest global tech companies (HP, Google, IBM), the world’s largest retail companies (Tesco and Macy’s) and high-growth internet scale-ups such as Kayak and The Hut Group. As a business, we are fast-paced, exciting and growing rapidly and we make no apology for the fact that many ‘standard’ processes are not (yet) in place. If you thrive on getting cut-through whatever the circumstances, working with hugely talented people to deliver a global mission and being an agent of change with great autonomy, then we would love to hear from you.

Scope

In just the next 2 years we will:

‐ Redefine the business as a next generation omni-channel operation, something that only a handful of businesses (Amazon, Warby Parker etc.) can claim to do

‐ Continue to refine and build out our entire ecommerce tech stack, business systems and our analytical capabilities.

‐ Launch in at least 4 new Middle East markets and launch in APAC in the two largest markets in Hong Kong, with a view to expand quickly across the region.

‐ Build out our own store network in the UK, USA and Europe

‐ Deliver on the massive potential of our Magic Mirror and expand our use of AR technology online and in-store.

- Digitally enable our front-line sales teams in an entirely unique way through in-store technology initiatives

‐ Create the platform for a world class digital marketing, retention and advocacy operation

This is an opportunity to be part of a transformational journey for a rapidly scaling business with technology as one of our most significant growth levers.
