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!
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 cloud services including AWS, GCP and Vercel. 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 aren’t afraid to explore new and emerging technologies and tools if they are right for us. Our progressive store front sits on Next.js for a lightning 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. We’ve not yet decided whether to go pure native build or React Native. No need to rush into decisions!
All our clients sit on GraphQL to provide a clean abstraction from all the underlying headless services, some we’ll buy off the shelf and others we’ll be building ourselves. Again, we haven’t decided what tech to use for this yet, one step at a time. We host the majority of our world on AWS, built with Terraform, but like the code we write, we’re always experimenting with new technologies and tools that align to our business needs.
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.
So, what are you waiting for? Apply now for a chance to be part of an inspirational, international and talented team.
