The tech stack spans AWS, Azure, GCP, and a .NET/C# core, with active adoption of Kafka, Temporal, and containerization (Kubernetes, EKS) alongside aggressive AI integration (LLM APIs, RAG systems, AI agents). The hiring profile is engineering-heavy (252 roles) relative to sales (183), and projects cluster around AI-powered workflows and infrastructure modernization, suggesting a push to automate legacy domain expertise rather than rebuild it from scratch.
