European public procurement platform connecting buyers and suppliers
Mercell operates a multi-sided marketplace for public tendering across Europe, built on .NET + AWS with heavy infrastructure-as-code adoption (Terraform, Cloudformation, CDK). The tech stack reveals a maturing platform: migration toward containerized workloads (ECS, EKS), event-driven architecture (Kafka), and infrastructure automation tooling. Support hiring outpaces engineering 9-to-7, a pattern typical of high-volume transaction platforms where operational stability and customer issue resolution drive growth.
Mercell is a public procurement platform serving hundreds of thousands of European buyers and suppliers. The company operates a two-sided network connecting public sector organizations with vendors through an eSourcing and eTendering interface, handling tender publication, bidding, compliance, and procurement workflows. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Oslo, Mercell operates at scale across Northern Europe and beyond, with active hiring across Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and the Netherlands. The platform layers compliance automation, API integration tooling, and tender response management on top of a cloud-native infrastructure.
Mercell uses .NET (ASP.NET, Core, Framework), AWS services (ECS, EKS, Lambda, RDS, SNS), Apache Kafka, SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MariaDB, DocumentDB), and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, AWS CDK).
Mercell is actively hiring in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Peru across support, engineering, sales, finance, and operations.
