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:
- Frontend: Typescript, React, Redux, StoryBook
- Backend: Java, ElasticPath, Contentful
- Cloud Ops: AWS, cloudformation
In just the next 2 years we will:
‐ Build out our own store network in the UK, USA and Europe
‐ Create the platform for a world class digital marketing, retention and advocacy operation
