Premium vehicle retailer modernizing tech stack and marketing operations
Autohaus Royal is a Berlin-based premium vehicle retailer undergoing significant operational modernization. The tech stack—anchored in TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Apache Airflow—alongside active projects in PWA/responsive design, microservices quality, and micro-frontend architecture suggests engineering capacity is being redirected toward digital retail and operational efficiency. Hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering, ops, and sales (44 roles posted in the last 30 days), with notably more mid-level hires than senior, indicating structured team expansion rather than leadership infill.

Current organizational focus spans three major initiatives: building internal marketing and performance marketing capability (including adoption of TikTok), restructuring into a holding company with intercompany finance architecture, and digitalization of core business processes including legacy system integration.
