Global auction marketplace operator across art, antiques, and industrial sectors
ATG operates five major auction marketplaces (LiveAuctioneers, thesaleroom.com, lot-tissimo, Proxibid, BidSpotter) processing billions in transaction value across art, antiques, and industrial goods. The tech stack reveals a polyglot backend (Go, Python, FastAPI) paired with a modern mobile-first frontend (React Native, Swift, Kotlin), but hiring velocity and active projects signal operational strain: the organization is simultaneously modernizing backend services, implementing cloud security controls (CNAPP, service mesh), and scaling a compliance program across multiple regulatory frameworks—suggesting infrastructure and governance maturity lags business growth.
ATG is a London-listed marketplace operator connecting bidders in 160 countries to auctioneers in two verticals. The Art & Antiques division includes LiveAuctioneers (North America), thesaleroom.com (Europe), and lot-tissimo (Germany). The Industrial & Commercial division runs Proxibid (North America's largest industrial marketplace) and BidSpotter (global industrial auction leader). The company traces its roots to 1971 as a trade publisher and has expanded into software-driven marketplace operations with over 350 employees across the US, UK, and Germany. High transaction volumes and multi-geography compliance obligations drive infrastructure and security priorities.
Backend: Go, Python, FastAPI, C#/.NET Core, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch. Frontend: React, React Native, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS. Data: Snowflake, Amplitude. Infrastructure: AWS, Azure, AWS WAF.
