European outdoor e-commerce platform with 12 country shops and warehouse automation
Bergfreunde operates a multi-country outdoor retail business across Europe with 650+ employees, centered on climbing, hiking, and outdoor sports. The tech stack reveals a mid-market e-commerce maturity: SAP S/4HANA for enterprise operations, Contentful for headless content management, React/Next.js/Vue for frontend delivery, and Kafka/RabbitMQ for event-driven architecture. Hiring is concentrated in logistics (10 open roles) and finance (6), with acceleration across departments — signaling supply-chain and financial-process scaling rather than engineering-first growth. Active projects around automated warehouse systems, tax compliance, and conversion-rate optimization reflect operational efficiency as the primary focus.
