Who are we?

Do you want to be a first mover in BeautyTech and innovate the beauty market? Compar is an AI Beauty Advisor that helps users find their perfect beauty products - with simply a selfie and insights. The vision is to bring the entire beauty market into one smart, personalized platform where users can instantly discover and shop what truly works for them.

Our personalized beauty space is filled with beauty products, in-depth match and ingredient analysis, toxicity assessments, guides, and trends that match the consumer’s hair and face profiles - objective and science-based.

The first version of the Compar mobile app is live and loved in 148 countries - grown organically.

 

Why work for us?

As a startup that is well and truly in its “scale-up” phase, we offer an enormous opportunity to be a part of the most exciting time in our journey so far. A Founding Engineer at Compar will help the business achieve its full potential and leave a lasting, positive impact on the beauty industry. 

We are still a small team, meaning you will get to work directly with our founder, Thea. You will gain direct insight into how the business works and what makes it successful. If you are interested in gaining insight into the decisions and processes that drive a startup business's success, then you will learn a great deal at Compar. 

Our office is located in central Copenhagen, making it easily accessible and surrounded by beautiful buildings and cafés. We also offer a flexible working arrangement, but we do require you to work primarily from our office to collaborate directly with the team. Finally, you will be offered an opportunity to have a stake in the company (equity) and, in the future, a competitive salary. 

 

What is your role? 

As a Full-Stack Developer, you will continue developing the frontend and backend of our mobile application and future web version, and assist with our admin web application. You will start as a Founding Engineer and potentially morph into a CTO depending on the right candidate’s level of skill and experience.
