Omnichannel retailer operating 1,500+ stores and ecommerce platform across Spain
Carrefour España operates a large physical and digital retail footprint across Spain with a hybrid tech infrastructure spanning legacy systems (AS/400, Oracle, SAP S/4HANA) and modern cloud-native tooling (Kubernetes, Kafka, PostgreSQL). The hiring mix skews operations and sales-heavy, but active projects reveal infrastructure priorities: renewable energy integration into store systems, vendor management optimization, and construction expansion—suggesting internal focus on margin control and physical network scaling rather than digital-first innovation.
