Global marketplace platform for curated auctions across art and industrial goods
ATG operates a multi-region auction marketplace serving art dealers, antiques traders, and industrial auctioneers across North America, UK, and Germany. The tech stack—Go, Python, FastAPI, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, plus ML libraries (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn)—signals a shift toward real-time bidding microservices and learning-to-rank optimization, moving past legacy auction infrastructure. Engineering-heavy hiring and active containerization projects confirm infrastructure modernization is underway.
ATG is a London-listed public company operating five marketplace brands (LiveAuctioneers, thesaleroom.com, lot-tissimo, Proxibid, BidSpotter) that connect bidders in 160 countries to auctioneers in fine art, antiques, and industrial categories. The company processes billions in transaction value annually across two business segments: Art & Antiques and Industrial & Commercial. ATG has served the auction industry for over 50 years, evolving from print publishing (Antiques Trade Gazette) to a technology-driven marketplace operator with 350+ employees across US, UK, and Germany.
Go, Python, FastAPI, Redis, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS infrastructure (EKS, RDS), Prometheus/Grafana/Loki for monitoring, Salesforce for CRM, Apache Airflow and Dagster for data pipelines, and ML libraries including TensorFlow, PyTorch, and scikit-learn.
