Job description

Technical challenge 100% Remote Great Culture International Company

StyleSage is a start-up on a global scale within the textile and fashion industries. It’s often been referred to as “The Bloomberg of fashion” because their platform analyses over 35k of brands and easily over 35 million products daily. As you can imagine, they work with high volumes of data, but they never deviate from their mission: to help retailers and leading brands (H&M, Zalando, ASOS, etc.) make critical decisions about the season’s new fashions. So, buckle up and let’s dive into a real technological challenge!

Before telling you about “What you’ll do”, I just want to give you a bit more context:

The team at StyleSage consider themselves as “freaks who are passionate about data with a penchant for fashion”. They’re clear about the value they can add to the industry through their unique use of data analysis. They’re growing rapidly, and they’ve emerged stronger out of the past year of the pandemic due to the boom in e-commerce.

StyleSage has business teams in New York (Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, CEO), but the core technical team is based in Madrid (Backend, Data Science, Product Engineering, Data Operations).

Now, along with the rest of the Product Engineering team, your mission will be to keep developing and improving both web applications that clients use and those that the other StyleSage teams use. The main project for the Product Engineering team is the StyleSage web platform.

Every day, their databases are updated with information from their clients on hundreds of thousands of products. Some of the leading fashion houses worldwide need to be able to access that info in a quick, simple and powerful way.

As a result, they’ve created a web application to visualise data in an interactive way which allows them to gain an overview of the status of all the fashion markets worldwide, right down to the details of a specific product.

They use technologies like Exasol for their database and D3.js for visualisation, so their clients can perform an analysis on millions of data almost instantaneously.

Not only that, but they also compile and provide other relevant data on the fashion market, such as newsletters, discounts, trends and influencers.

In terms of the methodology, they’re not really purists, but they do have some really clear software development principles:

• The work is organised in a weekly planner where they plan the initiatives that they’ll tackle that week, along with the Product team.
• The features are divided into the smallest possible vertical slices to deploy and add value quickly and frequently.
• All the code is reviewed by 2-3 team members before being merged: the Pull Request reviews are a quality control mechanism, but mainly act as a tool to share information and are a learning opportunity for everyone.
• The quality of the code is a core value: all the code must be readable and understandable.

Flexi hours: there’s no set rules. They expect you to attend team meetings and for others to know when they can find you working. They adapt so that everyone’s personal obligations are compatible with doing a large job together.

Remoto

100%

REMOTE 100%. Wherever you like!

This job is 100% remote working, so as long as you have a good Internet connection, you can work from anywhere (within Spain, due to tax and administrative reasons).

You’ll also work side by side with other teams such as Product Management and Customer Success who are located outside of Spain, so it’s important that you can speak English with ease.

Apart from the years of experience that you can contribute, they’re looking for a person who’s familiar with how all the cogs of frontend development mesh together:

• Good knowledge of HTML5 and CSS and how a web application works (API calls, asynchronous applications, Client/Server architecture, etc.).
• Comfortable using Shakespeare’s language. The workplace language is English: everything written (the code itself, emails, pull requests, etc.) is in English.
• Teamwork: you know when to ask for help and you’re there when a workmate asks for advice.

And if you want to go for a high mark?

• You’ve already grasped backend development and you know what developing an API involves, and if you’ve also used Python and Django, awesome.
• If you’re already used to handling queries on a relational database such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.
• You know other frontend development tools like d3.js, Quasar, Webpack or Netlify.

100% remote working, but always with the option to visit the office in Madrid whenever you want.

€60/month to compensate for remote working.

Flexi hours/family friendly.

Necessary equipment so you can work comfortably (laptop with MacOSX or Linux, monitor).

External training (annual allowance of €1500 for courses, English lessons, training, conference attendance).

2.5 days a year to attend conferences.

At the moment, no, they can only recruit within Spain due to administrative reasons.

Normally, their recruitment process runs in 3 phases: initial interview, technical test and a chat with Robert, the CTO.

NO. They arrange in-person meetings every 3-4 months in Madrid or its surrounding areas and it’d be awesome if you could come and bond.
