Diversify our future
We are building a brand that represents the people of the world. It’s what you do that counts, and we are always looking to expand perspectives and voices to shape our future.

We see you, we celebrate you, we want you!

Who we are
You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there’s more to this great-smelling, privately-owned and family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good. We fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that what’s inside counts - whether that’s an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.

At Lush Global Digital we lead the digital strategy and development of apps and websites. Developers of all disciplines are responsible for delivering software and services that meet the needs of the company as a global cosmetics retailer and spa. The successful candidate will be able to analyze the current state of the business and suggest, design, and build solutions to improve processes, platform, reach, and abilities.

What you’ll do:

• Design and build mission-critical Android applications with a global reach
• Coach and skillshare with junior and mid-level developers
• Collaborate with other teams across the business and work with all development teams to create end-to-end products
• Fix bugs in existing software and improve using the latest technologies
• Unit test code with a TDD approach and work with QAs to create test suites
• Document software and processes, and share your knowledge with others
• Support deployment of internally and externally facing applications and provide post-deployment support
• Support the open-sourcing and documentation of technologies to enable other developers to adopt our freely-distributed code
• Work closely with the UI design team to execute the design as closely as possible, staying within the design guidelines of the brand

Who you are:

• Have extensive experience with the Android SDK with a comprehensive understanding of the application lifecycle, and OS integration
• Experience with Git and Git-flow
• Experience with Java and Kotlin and global software deployment tools such as Google Play and Scalefusion.
• Are able to build  RESTful JSON Web APIs and using networking libraries to integrate this with applications
• Experience working in an agile environment
• You are able to work under pressure to achieve goals for public events
• You have knowledge and experience with CI pipelines such as GitLab/Bitrise/Jenkins etc.

What’s it like working for Lush
People are at the heart of our business. We want you to enjoy and challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know, so we’ve created a culture where your job description is a starting point, not an end goal. Our working style is flexible, fluid, supportive, and authentic - if you’ve got the drive to push yourself and try different things, you will have our support.
