Germany's largest B2C parcel logistics network with 16,000 pickup points
Hermes Germany operates Europe's largest independent parcel network for consumers, anchored by 16,000 ParcelShops across the country. The company is actively hiring across logistics (45 roles), sales (35), and operations (14), but engineering remains constrained at 12 openings — a tight bandwidth relative to their stated pain-points around IT automation, goods-flow optimization, and partner integration. Their tech stack (Java, Python, PostgreSQL, Terraform, Ansible, GCP, AWS) sits across both legacy ERP (SAP BusinessObjects) and modern cloud infrastructure, suggesting an organization mid-way through digital transformation.
