I’m looking for a Rails backend engineer to join the team at Dressipi
(where I’m the CTO),
working on our fashion retail prediction AI platform. We’re running a
set of Rails 5.2 / 6.x applications, with APIs exposed using grape and
serving some of the biggest retailers in the UK and beyond.
Dressipi aims to transform fashion retail by enabling retailers to
predict what each shopper will buy and not return, enabling better
consumer experiences and product discovery while at the same time
reducing the wastage and inefficiencies that are commonplace in the
sector
We algorithmically generate outfits, personalize 100s of millions of
pageviews and month and lots more ( You can read more about what we do
our blog - Blog | Dressipi ).
We’re all working remotely at the moment, but there will be a London
office again for those that want it when the time is right. We’re also
happy for people to stay remote, either within the UK or with a
reasonable amount of working day overlap with the UK.
If that sounds like your cup of tea, please drop me a line for more information
And would you want me, should I get the nod, to standardize on the latest, supported rails version, after writing tests to ensure that no functionality is lost when upgrading?
Are said outfits also made in real-time and branded as “Dressipi” hoodies, for example? Is this part of the roadmap going forward?
This role would include that sort of work but wouldn’t be the primary focus
not quite - we don’t produce or sell any clothing items. What this functionality does is if you are viewing an item of clothing on a website suggest items that can go with it to form an outfit (respecting any preferences you’ve given etc.).
Sure - maybe drop me a message with CV etc. & we can take things further.
It’s a mix of explicit preferences (favourite colours, patterns etc), slightly less direct ones (ie someone might feel self conscious about their stomach) and ones inferred from behaviour. I’ll drop you a DM
