Multichannel e-commerce software platform for German-speaking merchants
JTL-Software is a privately held e-commerce software vendor serving over 50,000 customers across Germany with integrated tools for inventory, order management, marketplace integration, and point-of-sale. The tech stack spans legacy (Delphi, WPF) and modern cloud layers (React, Laravel, AWS, Kubernetes), and the active project list—terraform automation, cloud-native architecture, desktop-to-cloud migration—reveals a company mid-transition from monolithic desktop systems toward distributed cloud infrastructure. Engineering dominates the hiring mix, signaling investment in modernization.

Operations span cloud infrastructure, payment systems, and third-party integrations required for cross-border and multi-marketplace commerce.
