20,000-store discount retailer with logistics and supply-chain operations focus
Dollar General operates a fleet-and-warehouse infrastructure serving 20,000+ locations across North America. The tech stack skews operational: Kronos for workforce scheduling, Vocollect for voice-directed picking, WMS for inventory, plus enterprise BI (Tableau, Power BI) and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP). Hiring velocity is accelerating but concentrated in ops and finance roles—only two engineering positions posted in the last 30 days—suggesting the company is optimizing existing systems rather than building new platforms. Active projects center on logistics (fleet terminals, distribution flow, pick zones) and compliance/KPI tracking, with acute pain points in driver retention and reverse logistics.
