Omnichannel sporting goods retailer designing and distributing its own products
Decathlon designs, produces and sells its own sports equipment through physical stores and online channels. Hiring is overwhelmingly store-level sales with a junior and manager tilt across 14 countries, and recurring pain points center on stock availability, omnichannel inventory and checkout flow. The engineering stack is Java/Spring with Kafka on AWS MSK and Lambda alongside GCP, pointing to event-driven retail systems behind that inventory push.
