LiveAuctioneers is the leading online marketplace for one-of-a-kind items, rare collectibles and coveted goods. Our ever-changing online catalogues have included everything from Banksy prints and first-edition Harry Potter books to Garth Brooks' tour bus and rare Hermès Birkin bags. Last year, LiveAuctioneers processed $7.4 billion in bids, connecting millions of the world's most knowledgeable collectors with 7,000+ vetted, professional sellers of extraordinary, previously owned items.

Founded in 2002, LiveAuctioneers is a technology innovator in resale marketplaces and was the first to introduce mobile bidding, video-streamed auctions, ratings and reviews, and more, to the online-auction industry. In its continuing role as a pioneer in the buying and selling of exceptional items, LiveAuctioneers is now developing FinTech and SaaS solutions that empower small auction business owners to be influencers in the “passion economy” and build a loyal following. You have an opportunity to join a company led by a management team who had a hand in taking market-leading companies like Google, Seamless, GrubHub and 1stdibs from niche websites to household names. 

You will be working as a member of an inclusive team that uses a friendly and collaborative small-team approach (about 5-6 engineers per team) to help us build the trusted marketplace of collectibles curated by experts.
