French-language news platform with digital-first distribution across web, mobile, and tablet
La Presse operates a multi-platform news operation serving Quebec with iOS, Android, web, and tablet editions. The tech stack spans mobile-native development (Xcode, Android Studio, Gradle, Fastlane) alongside data infrastructure (Snowflake, Tableau, Power BI) and cloud compute (AWS, GCP), with active hiring across engineering, data, and product roles. Current project momentum includes AI initiatives and next-generation editorial tooling, though internal diagnostics show friction around BI system operationality and automation resilience—typical pain points for legacy newsrooms scaling analytics and automation.
