  • preserve the story of each formula through careful notes, archives, and samples

qualifications & skills

  • a sharp eye for color, texture, and finish , with the ability to notice even the smallest shifts
  • an appreciation for detail and organization , treating every sample and note as part of a larger creative process
  • experimental by nature, with the persistence to keep trying new angles when the first answer doesn’t work
  • independent and self-motivated, able to carry projects forward with focus and care
  • obsessed with the user experience , from the first brushstroke to the final look
  • seeking long-term stability and growth in a role

galactic perks

  • medical, dental and vision benefits covered 75%
