See About You's open rolesOur mission is to digitize the classic shopping stroll, turning it into a personalized, inspiring experience for every customer. Technology and data sit at the center of everything we build. We are not a fashion company with a tech team on the side. Tech drives our product, our strategy, and our growth.
Our proprietary tech stack powers our own shops and SCAYLE, our commerce infrastructure solution that serves over 350 brands globally. Same foundation, bigger stage. The challenges keep things interesting.
The Sponsored Content & Products team is a key growth driver. Its mission is to build highly scalable self-serve cost-per-click (CPC) bidding marketplaces that empower brands to efficiently boost their visibility in real time right at the digital point of sale. Operating within an existing ecosystem, our evolution into specialized product teams provides an autonomous, greenfield-like environment. Your QA automation blueprints and testing frameworks will directly safeguard application stability, drive developer velocity, and enable us to safely multiply our Retail Media revenue.
