Conrad operates a multi-country B2B electronics sourcing platform serving 17 European markets, with a tech stack spanning GCP, AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Java, Python, and SAP EWM. The company is actively building RAG-driven search and AI proof-of-concepts while managing MLOps maturity gaps and platform-scale challenges — engineering hiring has decelerated to 9 roles in the last month, but the senior-heavy seniority mix (28 of 35 active hires) and focus on AI/search suggest a shift toward higher-leverage capability building over headcount growth.
