Refurbished electronics marketplace with vertical integration across Europe
asgoodasnew operates a European re-commerce platform for premium consumer electronics—sourcing, refurbishing, and selling directly to consumers. The tech stack (PHP/Symfony, Python/Flask, PostgreSQL, Redshift, BigQuery) is classic for an e-commerce + data business, but the active project list reveals infrastructure focus: DWH modernization, data model optimization, and reporting—typical of a scaling marketplace struggling with technical debt and pipeline efficiency.
Founded in 2008, asgoodasnew is a circular-economy platform that buys, refurbishes, and resells premium electronics (smartphones, tablets, laptops, cameras, smartwatches) across Europe. The company operates a fully vertical model—sourcing, operations, and sales all in-house—with offices in Berlin and Frankfurt (Oder). It has served over 1 million customers. The hiring profile is small and mixed: mostly junior engineering and operations staff, with one data specialist, suggesting a lean team addressing internal operational scaling rather than rapid product expansion.
PHP with Symfony framework, Python/Flask for backend services, PostgreSQL and MySQL for transactional databases, MongoDB for flexible storage, Amazon Redshift and BigQuery for analytics, Power BI and Looker for reporting.
Frankfurt (Oder), Brandenburg, Germany. The company also operates an office in Berlin and hires exclusively in Germany.
