Atea is a large-scale IT infrastructure and services operator across the Nordic and Baltic region with ~8,000 employees and €35B+ annual revenue. The tech stack—Cisco, VMware, Azure, ServiceNow, and OpenShift—reflects a traditional enterprise infrastructure business now shifting toward automation and cloud: active adoption of SD-WAN and SASE, heavy investment in infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible), and container orchestration (OpenRedHat OpenShift). The hiring mix (engineering-led with 13 of 28 open roles in engineering/platform) paired with projects spanning datacenter builds, service agreement management systems, and end-to-end automation workflows signals a transition from pure hardware distribution toward managed services and operational automation.
Atea operates as the leading IT infrastructure supplier in the Nordic and Baltic region, with presence in 88 cities across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The company delivers hardware and software from global vendors (Cisco, Microsoft, VMware, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks) alongside managed services, consulting, and operational management of customer IT environments. In Sweden alone, Atea operates ~2,700 employees across 30+ locations; approximately 1,000 are consultants. As a public company listed on Oslo Børs, Atea's service portfolio spans infrastructure, datacenters, client solutions, collaboration platforms, communications, print, video, servers, and security. Current initiatives center on modernizing legacy network infrastructure, automating manual operational tasks, and transitioning customer bases toward managed and cloud services.
