Nood

Software Engineer

• Partner with the CEO and CMO to define a multi-year, insight-led innovation pipeline (skincare + devices) aligned to brand strategy and business goals.
• Translate consumer insights, science, and feasibility into a prioritized roadmap with clear stage-gates, budgets, and success metrics.
• Own concept → brief → prototype → validation → commercialization for new products (skincare and, where applicable, beauty devices).
• Develop comprehensive product briefs: target consumer, benefits/claims, ingredient/tech direction, packaging, quality standards, target COGS, MSRP, and margin.
• Source, negotiate, and manage external partners (formulators, OEM/ODM, device engineers, packaging vendors).
• Oversee testing (stability/safety/compatibility), regulatory and compliance (including IEC/FDA considerations for devices), and QA sign-off.
• Deliver launches on-time and on-budget; manage risks and cross-functional dependencies.
• Proactively assess existing products for performance, quality, consumer feedback, competitive landscape, and regulatory changes.
• Lead reformulations and quality improvements to maintain or elevate efficacy, safety, and sensory experience.
• Drive COGS/margin optimization (ingredient substitutions, process improvements, packaging efficiencies) without compromising quality.
• Refresh claims, copy, and packaging as needed to maintain competitiveness and clarity; manage label/INCI/regulatory updates.
• Partner with Marketing on data-driven optimizations (e.g., claims hierarchy, RTBs, clinicals) and with Operations on supply continuity and cost.
• Recommend SKU rationalization/EOL when appropriate, with clear consumer and financial rationale.
• Work with Operations on manufacturability, readiness, and supplier risk mitigation.
• Collaborate with Marketing and Creative on positioning, claims hierarchy, copy, and launch assets for DTC and retail channels (e.g., Amazon, Target).
• Partner with Finance on cost modeling, pricing architecture, and unit-economics trade-offs.
• Maintain strong relationships with R&D, QA/Regulatory, and Packaging for best-in-class execution.
• Track post-launch KPIs (velocity, repeat, margin, review volume/rating, defect/return rate) and drive iterative improvements.
• Monitor trends in ingredients, device technology, sustainability, and regulation; bring forward executable, high-ROI bets.
