Regional department-store chain with 39 locations across 17 states
Von Maur operates a multi-state retail footprint with heavy reliance on legacy POS infrastructure (Ring POS, IBM System i, DB2) — a tech foundation typical of established brick-and-mortar retailers. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 615 open roles, but the seniority mix skews heavily junior (440 junior vs. 1 senior), and engineering is minimal (1 role). The pain-point concentration on shrinkage, theft prevention, and loss control suggests internal operations challenges outpace digital transformation.
Von Maur is a family-owned department-store chain founded in 1872 and headquartered in Davenport, Iowa. The company operates 39 physical stores across 17 states (Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) plus an e-commerce operation. The brand competes on shopping experience, merchandise breadth, and service quality. With 1,001–5,000 employees and accelerating hiring, the company is scaling its workforce, with particular emphasis on sales and operations roles.
Ring POS for point-of-sale, IBM System i and DB2 for backend systems, plus standard office tools (Word, Excel, Outlook). No evidence of cloud-native or modern web infrastructure in active use.
