Personalized gift e-commerce platform across 27 countries
YourSurprise operates a high-traffic e-commerce platform built on PHP, Symfony, React, and MySQL, now layering Python, dbt, and Looker for data analytics—signaling a shift toward data-driven merchandising and pricing optimization. The hiring mix skews toward intern-level roles (8 of 13 open positions) paired with sparse senior leadership, suggesting rapid scaling of execution teams while growth strategy may be concentrated among fewer decision-makers. Active projects around price elasticity modeling and Amazon marketplace optimization point to margin pressure and platform diversification as near-term priorities.
YourSurprise operates a personalized gift marketplace spanning over 3,000 product variants across 27 countries, with fulfillment and design operations anchored in a single campus in Zierikzee, Netherlands. The company sells to consumers and businesses (birthdays, weddings, corporate gifting) through its own webshop and third-party marketplaces like Amazon. Engineering and operations are vertically integrated—product design, manufacturing, purchasing, logistics, and customer support all run in-house. Current operational challenges center on inventory management, staff scheduling, logistics complexity, and plastic waste reduction; growth initiatives focus on European brand awareness and marketplace channel expansion.
Backend: PHP, Symfony, MySQL, Docker, Git. Frontend: React, TypeScript. Data: Python, dbt, Looker, Power BI. Infrastructure: AWS. Design: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign. Marketing: Meta, TikTok, Pinterest.
