technology mercado libre

Positive change engine in the region

Technological development and knowledge-based innovation are implemented throughout Mercado Libre. They are our main focus to improve millions of people 's present and future lives in the region. We offer them new methods of buying and selling, developing their business, and getting entertained and connected.

Our leading position in Latin American digital acceleration over the last years has been due to our ever-increasing social role towards communities, namely, a larger user number, more solutions, larger geographic reach, and higher ecosystem information volume. In turn, this growth significantly impacts on indirect employment, multiplying opportunities in thousands of small and medium sized companies as well as entrepreneurs involved in our ecosystem.
Our IT area is not only our business core, but also a well-settled hub linking and energizing the best technological talent in the region, throughout a team made up of more than 15,000 people and 16 development centers in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, Mexico and Chile. Experts and local talented people work there on competences such as software back end and front end, mobile development, cyber security, business intelligence, machine learning, data science, app infrastructure, user experience, and more. 
Our solutions are created focusing on flexibility, security and scalability required by Mercado Libre’s ecosystem. We would like to become an active player in domestic development, so that our team grows in the future and/or our value chain is nurtured by innovative standards.
