Social shopping marketplace with 5.5M members across 145 countries
Enigmo operates BUYMA, a cross-border social shopping marketplace. The tech stack spans Ruby on Rails, React, and cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), supporting a monolithic architecture now facing modernization pressure as traffic and data volumes grow. Current project focus—ChatGPT-powered product search, catalog aggregation, and time-sale tooling—reflects an inflection toward AI-assisted commerce and operational scaling, while hiring velocity has slowed despite active legal and SRE work tied to recent M&A activity.
