Our Technology

Our clients can freely mix and match models, body variation and styling items. To create this flexibility, each base body splits up in 800 digital assets. We’ve migrated away from physical data centers and use 150-200 cloud-based auto-scaling instances to follow the daily and seasonal production of our clients with a current peak load of 8000 images per day. We freely innovate over our code base split in 100 services. And we are not done. We continue to invest 30% of our income on further developing our products.

Looklet developers are a select group of world-class engineers whose backgrounds range from entrepreneurship in the open source world, skilled self-learners, as well as developers of Java, and we're looking to expand our team. Looklet, a leader in fashion-technology, offers the opportunity to work in a unique, energetic, extremely cross-functional environment that prizes innovation and creative thinking. Work with people experienced in software development, hardware construction, photography and fashion to create the solutions behind the Looklet magic.

As a small team, every developer truly makes a difference from the front-end to the back, as well as creating and modifying GUIs of internal and external tooling. The backend platform is deployed on top of Google Cloud Platform, automatically scaling to reflect our client’s seasonal demand as well as giving us a platform for easy deployment. The main programming language is Java 8, with advanced image recognition algorithms implemented in C++, and web front ends in Javascript.

Other technologies used includes Spring Boot, Redis, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, Tomcat and RabbitMQ.

We are developing a DevOps culture and platform, and to support this we are using technologies like Jira, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Alpine, COS, Ubuntu, StackDriver, Kibana, BigQuery, and Google Data Studio.
