Rail and public transport communication systems for European operators
Funkwerk manufactures professional radio equipment and passenger information systems for railways and public transport across Europe. The tech stack reveals a hybrid posture—traditional enterprise systems (SAP, Dynamics 365, Active Directory) paired with modern API-first development (NestJS, OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Event Store, MQTT)—suggesting active modernization of core systems. Aggressive hiring across engineering and security (31 and 8 roles respectively, 52 posted in the last 30 days) combined with active projects around procurement digitization, acquisitions integration, and emergency operations points to a company scaling operations and hardening infrastructure during rapid growth.
