Megaport operates a network-as-a-service platform connecting enterprises to cloud and managed service providers across 26 countries. The tech stack reveals a modernization arc—Java, Spring, and Kafka backbone with active adoption of Spring Boot and Kotlin—paired with heavy Salesforce integration (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Agentforce, Apex, LWC). Hiring is accelerating across engineering and sales (34 of 59 roles), with documented pain around campaign conversion measurement and technical debt, signaling both revenue-scaling pressure and a legacy codebase requiring sustained investment.
