Multi-category marketplace platform across cars, real estate, jobs, and classifieds
OLX operates a portfolio of classifieds and trading platforms serving tens of millions monthly across Europe, Africa, and Central Asia. The tech stack reveals a mature, distributed infrastructure (Kubernetes, AWS/GCP/Azure, Elasticsearch, Redis) combined with active ML investment (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn), while project focus on AI agents, wallet functionality, and microservices migration signals a shift toward vertical-specific monetization and infrastructure modernization. Sales-weighted hiring (50 roles) paired with engineering and product depth suggests a marketplace scaling through both geographic expansion and category deepening.
