Global B2B marketplace for fashion, beauty, and home goods sourcing
Buying Labs operates a two-sided wholesale marketplace connecting suppliers with a distributed network of international buyers across fashion, beauty, and home categories. The company is infrastructure-heavy, with 11 logistics roles (44% of active headcount) and projects centered on supply-chain automation, customs compliance, and carrier partnerships — reflecting operational complexity typical of cross-border goods networks. Tech stack is pragmatic: SQL + AWS containerization (Docker, ECS, Kubernetes) for core systems, with BI tools (Tableau, Power BI) layered in for visibility.
