letgo is one of the largest and fastest-growing app to buy and sell locally. With hundreds of millions of listings to date, letgo is among the top 10 apps in Turkey both in downloads and active users since its launch. letgo’s marketplace is filled with everything from electronics and cars to clothing and furniture. Listing something on letgo is as simple as taking a photo thanks to its advanced technology. It’s the only app of its kind that can automatically title and categorize an item using artificial intelligence. Plus, users can easily browse local listings, chat instantly in the app, and view each other’s profiles, ratings, and reviews.
letgo is also disrupting and unlocking the hidden potential of the second-hand car market in Turkey, with “otoplus”, a car buying and selling service. This is a one-stop solution for second-hand car buyers and sellers who are looking for trust, convenience, and peace of mind in their transactions. otoplus offers to buy and sell directly to or from consumers with a trouble-free experience.
We’re looking for people who are as passionate as we are about creating something our users love and - just as importantly - who are excited by the challenge.
We’ve built a company for people who want to do impactful work, surrounded by great people. We have a well-defined, mature culture — and we’re always making it better.
