About Lyst
Lyst
is a Global Fashion Search Platform which connects millions of shoppers
globally with the world’s leading fashion designers and stores, giving
them a simpler, more engaging buying experience. We work in small,
self-managing, autonomous teams with end-to-end responsibility for a
specific customer-focused project. This structure brings together
Lysters from all the disciplines that are needed to deliver the squad’s
goals. We reward these squads for the impact they make and value the
innovative approaches that autonomy and alignment can bring. We hire
great people and get out of their way.
The Role

team is pushing the boundaries of how technology and data are used in
the fashion commerce space. We are developing an environment and culture

new features.
On a technical level, we're planning on some major
changes to the design and frontend architecture and you'll be at the
centre of solving key technical and user experience challenges and
issues. We're also looking to revamp our tech stack, so we're open to
