Role Overview

Fresha is entering its next phase of global scale, and the Platform team plays a vital role in making that growth fast, safe, and sustainable.

You will support Fresha’s growth by driving infrastructure readiness, aligning platform strategy with business outcomes, and applying AI where it delivers real operational leverage.

We care deeply about customer impact, even when the work is internal - platform improvements ultimately exist to help Fresha deliver better experiences to customers.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
