Bloom & Wild is reinventing the $60B global flower industry. With over a billion flower exchanges annually and low industry satisfaction, we aim to create a more thoughtful and beautiful world. From letterbox flowers to The Thoughtful Marketing Movement, we are Europe’s largest direct-to-consumer flower company.
In January 2021, we announced a £75 million Series D funding round led by General Catalyst, with other top-tier investors including Index Ventures. We own three strong brands—Bloom & Wild, bloomon, and Bergamotte—and operate in 8 countries.
Named one of the 5 fastest-growing tech companies in Europe and a Tech Nation Future Fifty alumni, we were also listed in the Sunday Times Top 100 Small Companies to Work For 2020.
We value diversity and inclusion, welcoming people from all backgrounds to join our caring and inclusive team, where everyone can grow and share their opinions.
Tech Team @ Bloom & Wild
Our Technology team builds and maintains solutions that power e-commerce, production, and fulfillment, using technologies like Ruby, Rails, Python, React, PostgreSQL, AWS, and GCP. We develop APIs for our web and mobile apps and are exploring new microservices and domain-driven services.
Our Product Engineering team is organized into cross-functional squads, each responsible for specific domains, supported by Platform and Data Engineering. You’ll join the Range squad, focusing on internal systems for range representation, product allocation, and stock management, directly impacting customer experience and order fulfillment.
Most team members are based in the UK, working flexibly, with quarterly in-person meetings for collaboration and team bonding.
