IT consulting firm scaling cloud migrations and digital transformations across Europe and LatAm
Capitole is a 1,000+ person IT consulting firm based in Barcelona, moving aggressively upmarket into cloud infrastructure and system modernization. The tech stack—heavy on AWS, Kafka, and containerization tooling (Terraform, Ansible)—combined with active hiring across 11 countries and a project mix dominated by ERP implementations, core banking transformations, and cloud-native architecture work, signals a pivot from traditional IT services toward infrastructure-led consulting. Leadership is scaling engineering-first (199 roles open) with a senior-heavy mix, and actively replacing on-premises tooling (SharePoint, Azure DevOps) with GitHub-centric CI/CD—a clear modernization of their own delivery capabilities.
