Technology, Information and Internet Lisbon, Lisbon 201–500 employees Founded 2019 Privately Held

Bloq.it operates a physical-digital hybrid: deployed smart locker hardware across EU markets paired with software for logistics operators and retailers. The tech stack reflects dual engineering demands — containerized services (Docker, Kubernetes, Node.js/TypeScript) alongside IoT integration and a scaling data layer (Spark, Airflow, Kafka adoption underway). Current hiring concentration in engineering and ops signals focus on deployment velocity and operational resilience; active projects on locker integration and data-platform evolution point to a company managing rapid scaling of both hardware logistics and internal analytics infrastructure.
