2. You see the big solutions: We revolutionise the world’s biggest industries
You may be thinking, “What does shaping the future of trade mean?”
OLX’s networks of trading platforms are about more than bringing buyers and sellers together. We revolutionize industries by simplifying end-to-end journeys and solving for specific ecosystems.
By joining our team, you do more than connect buyers and sellers. You enhance lives.
As customers shop more across digital platforms, they’re confidently demanding an end-to-end experience that rises to their expectations. The best digital interactions mean that brands and platforms must meet evolving customer standards to remain relevant.
Many users come to our platforms at very important life moments, such as when they need to purchase a car or home. It’s our responsibility to help them make better decisions.
For example, Discover how OLX Autos is revolutionizing the multi-trillion dollar auto industry
Buying and selling a car can be an incredible hassle. The average car buyer used to visit five dealerships. 400 decision making points are involved in buying a car. Though online research has changed the process, buyers still spend hours at dealerships before buying a car. And the negotiation process can get overwhelming. For sellers, hurdles exist as well. It’s hard to know the true value of a car and find potential buyers. Using artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and millions of data points, we are changing and shaping customer journeys forever. We eliminate customer pain points one after another.
- Our new Camera AR layer helps sellers take the perfect images of the car, which helps buyers inspect the car from their phone or computer.
- Our AI-enhanced chat helps buyer and seller negotiations. It creates trust and transparency during the selling process. It helps the seller answer repetitive questions quickly and auto-respond to factual questions. It even helps the buyer ask the right questions and gain clarity on pricing.
- Our Price Fairness tool, an AI-powered price evaluator, examines whether car prices are fair and flags the buyer if the price isn’t fair. To make the AI model better, we tested how the model impacts buying behavior and analyzed where it was wrong, and then made improvements.
OLX Autos business has surpassed US$1B in total car transactions since its formation in January 2020.

Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve kept up these learning exchanges with remote initiatives like Prosus AI Marketplace.

Team members made spontaneous connections, showcased their work, shared their expertise, and learned from each other.

We offer mentorship programs, Udacity Nanodegree programs, and more than 5000+ courses from leading ed-tech providers like Udemy and Coursera. We also have a program where engineers can switch teams for a month or two. They really find it engaging and they can learn how to work better with one another. We also have the career tracks defined. For those on a managerial track, we seek the opportunity to assign temporary engineering managers to lead a team. This is a hands-on leadership experience with a new team.”
