OnBuy operates a seller-centric marketplace with a data infrastructure heavy on cloud analytics (BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift) and orchestration (Airflow, Airbyte, Fivetran). Active hiring in finance and data—alongside projects in FP&A software, operational dashboards, and a semantic data layer—suggests scaling toward £1B+ GMV and operational maturity. The org is actively adopting NetSuite while tackling manual intervention and trading-gap closure across the financial planning function.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Technology
OnBuy is a UK-based online marketplace founded in 2016 that connects retailers with customers across Europe. Unlike traditional marketplaces, OnBuy does not stock or sell inventory directly—instead providing a transparent platform for third-party retailers to reach millions of shoppers. The business model centers on cashback rewards and a seller-first philosophy that avoids channel conflict. The 51–200-person team is distributed across finance, data, engineering, marketing, support, and operations, with current hiring focused on scaling finance and analytics capabilities.
OnBuy's core stack includes BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, and Redshift for analytics; Kubernetes, Cloud Run, and GCP for infrastructure; Apache Airflow, Airbyte, and Fivetran for data pipelines; and GitLab CI/CD and GitHub Actions for deployment.
Current projects include FP&A software implementation with NetSuite, financial modelling for scenario planning, operational dashboards and self-serve reporting, risk management governance, scaling analytics infrastructure, and a semantic data layer evolution.
