Founded in 2006 by Emre Aydın, Çiçeksepeti is Turkey's largest online flower and gift shopping platform. What began as a flower delivery service has expanded into a full-scale e-commerce marketplace, offering millions of products across hundreds of categories - from fresh flower arrangements and personalized gifts to edible arrangements and specialty items. The platform operates both as a direct retailer and as a marketplace, connecting customers with a network of florists and gift providers, with same-day delivery available.
The company employs over 400 people and has extended its operations beyond Turkey into six European countries. Its technology infrastructure is built on cloud platforms, with engineering work spanning marketplace integrations, delivery logistics, scalability, and customer experience. Çiçeksepeti has attracted investment from Amazon and Hummingbird Ventures.
As the market leader in Turkey's gifting sector, Çiçeksepeti sits at the intersection of retail, logistics, and platform technology. The engineering challenges reflect that breadth: keeping a high-SKU marketplace performant, coordinating same-day fulfilment across a distributed seller network, and scaling operations across multiple geographies.
