Payment equipment and services platform for banks, merchants, and retail chains
AVEM operates a three-sided payment infrastructure business: point-of-sale equipment for merchants, ATM and cash-handling services for banks, and fraud prevention for cardholders. The tech stack—Java/Spring/Angular on SAP, plus Kafka and Kubernetes—reflects a mature B2B services org managing distributed hardware and transaction systems. Hiring is accelerating across support (16 roles) and ops (15), while engineering lags at 8, suggesting the company is scaling service delivery faster than product development; concurrent investment in knowledge management and APIM platform migration indicates internal tooling and integration debt.
AVEM is a €1B+ payment services group headquartered in France with 2,000 employees across 80 regional offices and 10 production sites. The company supplies and maintains point-of-sale terminals and payment equipment for merchants and retail chains, operates ATM networks and fiduciary services for banks, and provides fraud detection and dispute resolution for cardholders. Core business is hardware-centric and field-service-intensive, supported by a Java/Spring backend running on SAP and Oracle databases. The company sells directly to financial institutions, retail chains, and acquiring banks across France.
AVEM runs Java, Spring Boot, and Angular on SAP and Oracle, with Kafka for messaging, Kubernetes for orchestration, and Talend for data integration. They're adopting Kong (API gateway) and upgrading their SAP version to S/4HANA.
