Regional telecom operator modernizing infrastructure across cloud, GPU, and hypervisor platforms
SaskTel operates a legacy-to-modern infrastructure transition: the stack is anchored in Java/Jakarta EE with Hibernate and XML—typical enterprise telecom—while actively adopting GPU and replacing KVM/VMware with newer virtualization. Active projects show heavy infrastructure lift (hypervisor replacement, cloud migration, GPU-as-a-service launch), paired with vendor-consolidation work and process-standardization across a government-owned organization. The hiring distribution (junior-heavy, spread across support, sales, engineering, and security) suggests they're scaling ops capacity while modernizing.
