Hello everyone! My name is Andrei Rebrov, I’m CTO & co-founder at Scentbird. We are actively growing as a business and as a company. We also keep hiring in our engineering team. So this page is about who we are and who we are looking for.
About Scentbird
Scentbird inspires fragrance lovers to go beyond the ordinary and sample scents that evoke passion, confidence, and the unknown. Our mission is to revolutionize the way we perfume by bringing the ultimate fragrance playground right to your fingertips and offering a digital subscription service that lets members choose from over 500+ designer perfumes each month.
About the Brands
- Scentbird: The easiest way for fragrance lovers to discover, try, and buy their favorite scented products without a commitment
- Deck of Scarlet: Deck of Scarlet was created to break the boredom and shake up clean beauty. The line of bold cosmetics features vivid colors, innovative textures, and unprecedented finishes that bring the fun and creativity back to clean beauty.
- Confessions Of A Rebel: We’re not afraid to provoke. Our fragrances are made to excite and inspire: some are subversive, others are straightforward, all are compelling in their own right. He, she, they, YOU - our confessions are not caged in by gender.
- Goodhabit: Built for the digitally native generation, Goodhabit is pioneering the movement in defending your skin against artificial blue light and modern day skin stressors. We’re developing clean, conscious, and effective skincare solutions that keep you connected, and your skin, protected
Right now Scentbird delivers only in United States but we plan to expand our presence in other countries soon.
About the project
For many people it might seem that our service is very simple, what's hard about selling perfume online? The truth is - it's not that simple, lets take a look:
- Website was created from 0 because we have a lot of custom functionality, like perfume queue
- CRM system for our customer support was also created from zero and has a lot of external integrations (with Zendesk for example)
- Warehouse execution system for our fulfillment center that can serve our needs
- BI System (Snowflake, Looker, DBT)
- Perfume Recommendation Engine
- And many-many more
You can read more about it here.
A couple of words about our tech stack:
- React, Redux, Preact and TypeScript for our frontnd
- Java 15 + Postgres for backend (we still have some Groovy + Grails 3.4, but at some point will get rid of it completely)
- Kubernetes, Docker and many other cools things from our SRE team
- AWS Stack - EC2, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, Redshift, Elasticache and many many more (I believe AWS launched another service while you were reading this paragraph)
- Continuous Deployment with Gitlab, Feature Toggling
- New Relic, Sentry and Grafana for monitoring (yes, we love dashboards!)
About the team
Few words about our engineering team (but they defintely deserve much more since we can attribute a big part of our growth towards them). We have around 40 engineers in our company: Frontend, Backend, QA Engineers, Mobile (iOS + Android), Data Science. Each team works around certain business stream, like growth or backoffice. We release our product daily and plan to make it even better.
We are a distributed team located all over the world. Most of our engineering team is located in Eastern Europe and Russia. Hopefully COVID-19 restrictions will be over soon and we can back to our meetups. The goal is to have 3 of them each year.
Open roles
QA Engineer (1)
Senior Java Engineer (4)
A couple of comments in regards to this position. We have 2 open roles in the back office team (they are responsible for the Warehouse Management System, CRM and other systems) and one open role in the growth team (work related to the website, marketing, new payment options and etc). Since it’s the same pool of candidates we created just one link but candidate will have a chance to talk to both teams.
