Brazil's largest fashion retailer with integrated manufacturing and fast-fashion distribution
Riachuelo operates a vertically integrated fashion retail network across 460+ stores in Brazil, backed by in-house manufacturing through Grupo Guararapes. The tech stack reflects a scaled operations business—SAP core, Azure cloud, Java/Node.js backend services, and BI tooling (Power BI, Datadog, Grafana)—combined with modern API-first architecture (OAuth 2.0, Spring Boot, REST). Hiring velocity is accelerating across sales (dominant) and ops roles, while security and zero-trust initiatives are gaining ground, signaling a shift toward modernizing infrastructure controls across the retail footprint.
