Engineering Manager, Product Engineering

Who is the company?

The company provides the first and only client experience platform for appointment-based, self-care businesses. We empower our customers to give their clients more of the magical moments that matter most.

Before launching in 2016, our founders spent months interviewing salon managers and working behind front desks to understand their pain points so we could design a modern, user-friendly platform that meets the unique needs of their business. Our roots may be in hair salons, but we are built for the broader self-care industry, including many types of salons, spas, medspa, barbershops, and more. Our technology not only helps our customers survive but thrive. Take a look at  how we (and YOU) can make that happen .

We have an insatiable curiosity and embrace experimentation. We believe that simple solutions require the most sophistication, and we design each and every detail to maximize potential, power, and impact. Do our values match? Read through our story and what we value the most .

Outside Employment Disclosure

The company serves the beauty, wellness, and self-care industry, and many of our employees have access to our customers' business and client data. Because of that, we ask all candidates to disclose any concurrent employment, self-employment, ownership interest, or advisory role during the hiring process, including the company name and industry. Disclosure is a normal part of our process and is not by itself a barrier to being hired. Employees in Tier 1 Restricted Roles may not hold concurrent employment, ownership, or an advisory role with a beauty, wellness, self-care, or med-spa business, or with a company that competes with the company. If you currently hold such a role, you are still welcome to apply — please raise it early with your recruiter so we can talk it through.
