iliad operates Italy's independent mobile network with ~1,000–5,000 employees across engineering, ops, and logistics. The tech stack reveals a mature data infrastructure (PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, Spark, Airflow, dbt) built for telco-scale analytics and operational visibility, now adopting Open RAN and infrastructure-as-code (Ansible, Terraform) to reduce vendor lock-in. Active hiring in engineering and a project roadmap focused on network scaling, ETL pipeline development, and KPI monitoring suggest iliad is moving beyond basic carrier operations into data-driven network optimization.
