Company Background

Our client is a Series E funded beauty and cosmetics company based in the United States, whose mission is to “give voice through beauty.” As a rapidly scaling organization in the competitive beauty tech space, they faced urgent pressure to expand their engineering capabilities to support their growth trajectory and product innovation goals.

The company needed to build a robust technical team to enhance their digital platform, improve customer experience technology, and support their expanding e-commerce operations. With ambitious growth targets and competitive pressures in the beauty industry, speed to market was critical.
