IT outsourcing and modernization for legacy systems and cloud data platforms
Syffer is a 11–50 person consultancy based in Lisbon doing IT outsourcing and modernization work. The tech stack reveals dual tracks: deep legacy expertise (COBOL, CICS, DB2, SAP ECC) paired with aggressive cloud and data platform adoption (Databricks, Azure, Spark, Delta Live Tables). Active hiring is heavily skewed toward engineering (99 roles) and data (28), with majority senior-level positions, suggesting client engagements are complex migrations and greenfield data infrastructure builds rather than staff-augmentation plays.
Notable leadership hires: Backend Team Lead, Test Lead
