France's justice administration: courts, prisons, legal policy, and digital infrastructure
The French Justice Ministry oversees courts, prisons, legal reform, and victim support across the country. The tech stack reveals a mature government infrastructure org: containerized workloads (Kubernetes, OpenShift), identity & secrets management (Active Directory, Vault, EJBCA), and ITSM tooling (EasyVista). Hiring is accelerating across engineering, legal, and ops—suggesting a push to modernize legacy systems and move toward cloud-native architectures, evident in active projects around hybrid cloud CI/CD and DevSecOps integration.
