Digital used-car platform for consumer selling, retail buying and dealer wholesale
AUTO1 Group runs a used-car marketplace spanning consumer car buying, online retail and dealer wholesale, built on a Java/Spring Boot and Node.js core running on AWS with PostgreSQL, MySQL and Redis. Hiring is accelerating and skews heavily toward junior sales, operations, logistics and refurbishment roles, with little engineering hiring. That points to physical capacity, meaning reconditioning throughput and B2B partner acquisition, as the current growth constraint rather than software.

AUTO1 Group's stack includes Java, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Node.js, Express.js and Python on AWS, with PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis and BigQuery. It uses Looker, Tableau and Power BI for analytics, plus Workday and Oracle ERP Cloud.
