Diamond trading network, price intelligence, and jewelry market infrastructure
Rapaport operates a B2B marketplace and information service for the diamond and jewelry industry, with a 48-year operational footprint across 70 countries. The tech stack is mobile-first (heavy Android/Kotlin/Jetpack) with cloud infrastructure (Firebase, GraphQL APIs), and the team is actively migrating from legacy XML views to Jetpack Compose while building AI-enabled features — suggesting modernization of both UI layer and analytics capabilities. Current hiring is balanced between engineering and sales, with accelerating velocity, though internal pain points flag inventory accuracy and operational tracking as scaling constraints.
