Swiss e-commerce platform operating dual marketplaces with ML-driven product discovery
Digitec Galaxus operates Switzerland's largest online department store (Galaxus) alongside a specialist IT and electronics marketplace (digitec), processing recommendations, search, and logistics at scale. The tech stack reveals a modern data-first architecture: PyTorch, TensorFlow, Kafka, BigQuery, and dbt fuel real-time recommendation and user-behavior tracking, while .NET and React power the storefronts. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering and data (10 of 18 open roles), with seniority skewed toward senior/lead levels—a pattern typical of companies scaling AI features and complex integrations rather than building baseline platform.
Digitec Galaxus AG is a public Swiss e-commerce operator with two distinct brands: digitec (specialist retailer for IT, consumer electronics, and telecom) and Galaxus (full-category department store). The combined entity employs over 2,350 staff across headquarters in Zürich and Switzerland's largest distribution center in Wohlen. Both marketplaces are owned 70% by Migros, giving them access to supply-chain and financial infrastructure. Core operations span product search optimization, dynamic pricing, recommendation engines, partner integrations, and omnichannel fulfillment across Switzerland and Germany, with recent hiring also visible in Peru.
