SFR operates France's second-largest telecom network with a data stack built on Python, Java, Scala, Spark, and Hadoop, now consolidating on GCP for analytics (BigQuery, Bigtable, Looker). The hiring mix is sales-heavy (6 of 17 active roles) with only 2 engineering positions, reflecting a mature operator focused on customer acquisition and retention rather than platform-building. Active projects span network reliability, ESG compliance reporting, and digital conversion optimization—pain points signal struggles with data quality, network maintainability, and cost control in a competitive market.
