Marketplace platform for classifieds and property listings across Ireland
Distilled operates Ireland's largest classified marketplaces (Daft.ie, DoneDeal.ie, Adverts.ie, Gumtree.ie) on a Java + Spring + PostgreSQL + Elasticsearch stack that spans search, transactional, and analytics layers. The hiring mix skews toward sales (6 roles) and design (3 roles) over engineering (3 roles), with manager-level openings dominating — indicating a phase focused on commercializing existing product rather than core platform overhaul. Current priorities center on generative AI integration, design system maturity, and converting marketplace activity into advertising revenue.
Distilled owns and operates four established classified marketplaces serving the Irish property, auto, and general goods markets. The platform connects millions of buyers and sellers annually across real estate (Daft.ie), automotive (DoneDeal.ie), classifieds (Adverts.ie), and international listings (Gumtree.ie). The core technology is built on Java and Spring, backed by PostgreSQL and MongoDB for data persistence, Elasticsearch for search, and AWS infrastructure with containerization via Docker and Kubernetes. The product roadmap includes design system improvements, marketplace UX enhancements, fraud prevention, and advertising monetization across the portfolio.
Java, Spring, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, with frontend tools including React, TypeScript, and Next.js. Testing relies on Jest, Cypress, and Playwright.
