Multi-format retail group scaling omnichannel operations across Spain
El Corte Inglés operates a portfolio of department stores and specialty retail chains across Spain, supported by a tech stack centered on SAP, Adobe (Experience Platform, Target, Real-Time CDP), and custom web services built on Node.js and .NET. The hiring velocity shows acceleration in mid-level engineering (18 roles) alongside active inventory, payment, and demand-planning projects — signaling operational maturity but also ongoing pressure to optimize supply chain and reduce stockouts across channels.
