Nordics-focused retail chain with 100+ stores, scaling cloud infrastructure
Biltema operates a multi-category retail network across Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark, built on a Microsoft cloud stack (Azure, .NET, C#) with active migration underway. The hiring composition — predominantly sales and operations roles with minimal engineering — reflects a retail-ops-first organization managing store growth and inventory at scale, not a software-first company. Current project focus on Azure workload migration, cloud security monitoring, and compliance automation (PCI-DSS, GDPR) indicates infrastructure modernization is a top priority.
Biltema is a Nordics retail chain founded in 1963 in Sweden, operating over 100 stores across Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark. The business began as a car-parts specialist but has evolved into a broad-based hardware and lifestyle retailer, spanning automotive, tools, cycling, office/tech, and seasonal categories. The company operates service centers and logistics hubs on Sweden's west coast in Helsingborg and Halmstad, and sources private-label products globally without intermediaries. With 1,001–5,000 employees, Biltema is scaled for multi-country retail operations and supply-chain complexity.
Microsoft ecosystem: Azure cloud, .NET, C#, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions. Security tooling includes Azure Defender for Cloud, SAST/DAST, and Sentinel for monitoring.
Azure cloud migration, cloud security monitoring, PCI-DSS and GDPR compliance automation, inventory management, system integrations, and retail operations (café, seasonal displays, cross-selling).
