  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 big believers in the Modern data stack. We utilise AWS, Snowflake and dbt for the bulk of our data processing, Lightdash for visualisations. In terms of data ingestion we currently run Segment & Meltano and we're constantly looking at ways of improving this. Terraform is our tool of choice for IAC and like a lot of companies out there we use Github to store our code.

From powering our A/B tests and personalising the shopping experience to reporting on the state of the business, data is at the heart of what we do!, 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.
