Livebuying is the future of shopping. We aim for customers to experience products in an entertaining, informative and interactive way, hence empowering them to make more confident buying decisions.

LIVEBUY was founded in late 2020 and has quickly become the fastest growing company for video commerce platform technology in Europe. Leading brands such as Douglas, MediaMarkt, LIDL and SportScheck rely on LIVEBUY’s technology. Investors include experienced entrepreneurs from the tech and entertainment industry, as well as global venture capital investors.

We are currently expanding our core cross-functional team and you will be an important member of it. You will be working closely with our highly experienced CTO, product manager, UX/UI designer and front end developers. Your main objective will be to ensure smooth sailing for our highly dynamic applications by expanding the capacity and stability of our backend.
