Internal infrastructure platform serving 54 million users across Crédit Agricole Group
Crédit Agricole Group Infrastructure Platform operates as the internal technology backbone for one of Europe's largest financial services groups. The stack is Kubernetes-heavy (vSphere, OpenShift, ArgoCD, Cilium adoption) paired with traditional enterprise infrastructure (VMware NSX, Cisco ACI, F5), reflecting a hybrid cloud migration mid-flight. Hiring is engineering-led (38 engineers vs. 25 ops) with 54 roles posted in the last 30 days—an acceleration signal—alongside a notable push in security (13 roles) and ops maturity, suggesting active remediation of legacy reliability and compliance gaps.
