Saved job description

Who are we?

Auction Technology Group (ATG) is transforming the multi-billion-dollar global auction industry. Our platforms connect thousands of auction houses with buyers in over 170 countries, powering more than $15 billion in annual sales. Through innovative online auction technologies, we help auctioneers expand their reach, boost efficiency, and maximize value—while giving bidders unrivaled access to rare and specialized items.

As a publicly traded company, ATG has scaled from $18 million to $170 million in revenue, with sustained growth beyond the pandemic. We're modernizing one of the last industries to fully go digital—building a global, category-defining business in the process.

Some problems we are working on in the LiveAuctioneers platform:

How do we build reliable, scalable microservices that power critical experiences like payments and shipping?

How do we ensure high availability and performance across distributed systems under peak auction load?

How do we design event-driven architectures that decouple services while maintaining data consistency?

How do we improve observability across our microservices architecture to reduce mean time to resolution?

How do we accelerate delivery cadence while preserving safety and quality in production systems?

...and many more such questions.
