Large-scale Brazilian retail operator with 200+ stores and omnichannel infrastructure
Grupo Carrefour Brasil operates one of Brazil's largest retail networks—70,000+ employees across 200+ physical locations and e-commerce—serving over 1 million customers daily. The tech stack reveals a hybrid enterprise foundation (legacy COBOL and SAS alongside modern cloud: GCP, Azure, AWS, Kubernetes) with active adoption of Salesforce and Salesforce Marketing Cloud, signaling investment in customer data and marketing automation. Hiring is heavily weighted toward sales (605 open roles) and junior talent (610 juniors), reflecting a high-volume operations model focused on filling store and channel roles rather than scaling backend engineering (8 roles).
