Southeast Asia's largest secondhand marketplace, scaling user growth and supply-demand balance
Chợ Tốt is Vietnam's dominant classified platform for secondhand goods, processing over 1 billion monthly page views across 60+ categories. The hiring surge is heavily weighted toward marketing (8 roles) and product (7 roles) with accelerating velocity, signaling a pivot toward user acquisition and content-driven discovery—livestream boosting, short-form video production, and paid social execution dominate the active project list. This matches their stated pain points: traditional SEO fragility, AI-driven discoverability gaps, and supply-demand imbalance, indicating they're moving away from search-dependent growth toward community and incentive-based mechanics.

Chợ Tốt, founded in 2012, operates the first recommerce platform in Vietnam, combining online classified listings with peer-to-peer resale. The platform spans housing, vehicles, jobs, pets, and consumer goods—a horizontal marketplace serving both individual sellers and occasional buyers. With 9 out of 10 Vietnamese aware of the brand when buying or selling, Chợ Tốt has achieved near-ubiquitous recognition in its home market. The company is structured around 201–500 employees, headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City, and is publicly listed. Tech infrastructure relies on Google Cloud (BigQuery), Android, and Kubernetes, enabling scale across mobile-first Vietnam.
Chợ Tốt runs on Google Cloud infrastructure including BigQuery for analytics, Kubernetes for orchestration, and Python/Go for backend services. The platform is optimized for mobile via Android and integrates with Meta and TikTok for advertising and discovery.
Current priorities include user growth incentive partnerships, livestream and short-video production for discovery, paid social campaigns, segment targeting, and balancing marketplace liquidity. Supply-demand optimization and AI-driven discoverability are active pain points being addressed.
