France's largest ticketing platform for cultural and entertainment events
Francebillet operates France's dominant ticketing network, distributing 60,000 events annually across multiple channels and retail partners. Their tech stack is .NET-heavy (C#, ASP.NET Core, .NET Framework) with SQL Server on-premise and Azure/AWS cloud infrastructure, complemented by Redis, Elasticsearch, and Varnish for scale. Active hiring (6 engineers, 5 senior roles) is concentrated on data restructuring, BI migration, and dashboard development—suggesting a push to move from legacy reporting (Tableau) toward modern analytics infrastructure (Looker) while addressing production stability and data architecture gaps.
