Poland's largest public-sector IT delivery organization
Centralny Ośrodek Informatyki (COI) is Poland's primary IT systems operator for government, maintaining critical infrastructure including citizen ID platforms, payment systems, and national registries. The org is engineering-heavy (21 of 38 active roles) with emerging AI and security focus (4 dedicated security hires, AI Initiatives Lead appointed), while actively addressing technical debt and cloud-cost optimization—typical signals of a large legacy estate undergoing modernization.
