Who we are

  • We’re an early-stage VC-backed start-up that has raised $9M to date from VC funds and private investors. Founded in 2019 by Florin Tufan, Mihai Vinaga and Sorina Vlasceanu, we’re currently a team of 50+ driven individuals, mostly engineers and technical people, investing our time to solve problems that haven’t been solved before anywhere in the world.
  • Even as a young company, at the beginning of our exponential growth, we already work with some of the largest companies in the world. We bring together exceptional minds and characters, people with a growth mindset, strongly committed to achieving high performance, both individually and as a team.

Who you are

  • Determined, resourceful and altruistic, you prefer simple and straightforward communication and tend to be motivated by obstacles, not discouraged by them. You enjoy identifying and solving complex problems and don’t shy away from stepping out of your comfort zone, as you love learning more than you hate making mistakes.
  • A High-Achiever, as proven by your extra-curricular, professional or academic experience, passionate about exploring the way different areas related to your activity impact your end results. You’re driven by your relentless curiosity and the desire for and knowledge sharing with some of the best in the field.

What we do

  • We’re building the single source of truth for company data across all industries. We process billions of webpages and petabytes of data every week, then apply several AI models to break them down into usable business data, developing a deep understanding of the elements that define a business.
  • This results in tens of data points associated with each company, everything from company description, alternative names, tags, business category & industry, office and retail locations, risks, size, classifications, products, certifications, and beyond.

  • You will work with some of the brightest minds in the industry
      • in a high performing, no BS, growth oriented culture
      • on challenges that haven’t been solved before anywhere in the world
      • at the forefront of Big Data, Machine Learning & Infrastructure
      • adding your own input on core features
      • of a groundbreaking product that’s already shaping the future
      • on your way to becoming an unstoppable force in the tech industry.

What we value

  • We’re loyal to the outcome of the positive synergy between us.
  • We’re persistent in our mission and dedicate outstanding effort for long term impact.

What you embody

  • You do remarkable work through impeccable work ethic.

  • You’re persistent in your commitment and go the extra mile for long term impact.

What it’s really like to work with us

  • You’ll be treated as an adult. No toy tasks. No mock projects.
  • We move fast, solve real problems, and expect focus, not noise.
  • Everyone here takes ownership. You’re not here to “support” a team, you’re part of it.
  • You’ll learn by doing — not by sitting through workshops or checklists.
  • The learning curve is steep. The expectations are high. But so is your growth.
  • We make sure there’s a fair exchange between what each of us puts in and what we get in return in terms of ownership, growth, impact, and compensation.
  • We use the right tool for the job. We care about solving the problem, not showing off with trendy tools. We choose technologies based on what works best for the challenge at hand — not based on hype or personal preference. Staying up to date is super important to us, but using the right tool for the job is non-negotiable.
  • Our core team is based in Bucharest.
  • Our regular hybrid setup is 2 remote days per week after the 3 months trial period, which is fully onsite.

What it should really be like to work with you

  • You’re team-centric, knowing it gets you way further than acting egocentric ever could. You don’t look the other way when it comes to helping your colleagues succeed.
  • You’re humbly aware that real growth means sacrificing the immediate gain in favor of long-term rewards.
  • You demonstrate resilience, especially in front of failure, that is always paired with pioneering work.
  • As a big picture thinker, you’re equally comfortable with zooming in on a granular level, inclined to examine things from different perspectives and question the default.
  • You hold yourself accountable to deliver at your best and are ready to have your ideas challenged anytime. You value two-way feedback as a vital part of further improvement.
  • You get excited when exploring varied thought-provoking topics and feel this kind of conversations are worth having.
  • You see the benefits of face to face interaction, spontaneous brainstorming sessions and close collaboration.
  • You enjoy hybrid work and want to make the most out of connecting with people in your professional life, as well.

Our responsibilities

  • Update you on the progress of our recruitment process
  • Validate expectations, goals and priorities with you
  • Provide the tools and resources to help you do your best
  • Give you the space to try new things out (your way)
  • Grant you the freedom to make reasoned decisions and own them
  • Share relevant information and encourage you to be an active part in discussions about what we’re building, how we’re building it and why it’s important
  • Cultivate a healthy work environment where you can openly say what’s on your mind
  • Listen actively so we can fully understand your perspective
  • Provide guidance and actionable feedback for your further growth
  • Celebrate your wins and give value-based recognition for your achievements

Your responsibilities

  • Contribute to data, ML, crawling, infra, or delivery projects based on team priorities.
  • Ramp up on unfamiliar areas through hands-on work and guided learning.
  • Build, test, and improve tools and workflows.
  • Quickly write clean, production-ready code.
  • Debug, document, and support systems you help develop.
  • Collaborate with the team on technical decisions and feature design.
  • Take ownership of well-scoped tasks with clear impact.
  • Ship your first meaningful contribution within your first month with mentorship and feedback.

Our qualifications

  • Before building Veridion, our 3 co-founders (Sorina, Florin and Mihai) worked at companies that impacted billions of users, having been exposed to diverse areas of technology that span from full stack web development to Big Data and robust Cloud infrastructure, as well as their product and business development proficiency.
  • This broad mix, critical to a true data-driven mindset, has been imprinted in our company’s culture since day one. And it massively steps up our game as engineers.

Your qualifications

  • There’s no list of tech requirements for this internship:
    • The only real requirement is being able to solve one of the challenges we’ve prepared (linked here) using any language, stack, or tools you’re comfortable with.
    • We learn to master new tools every day and we think the reasoning behind decisions is the one that counts the most. You can probably get up to speed with the rest rather quickly.
    • What matters is how you think, how much effort you put into truly understanding the problem, and how you structure and document your approach.
    • Even the most sophisticated solution is ineffective if it solves the wrong problem. Misalignment in problem definition leads to incorrect conclusions and wasted effort.
    • These challenges are very similar with the type of tasks you’ll work on once you join our team, so choose the one that you think you’ll do your best at.

What we offer

  • The chance to shape an original product in a fast growing company, backed by VC investors
  • A merit-based, no BS, value-oriented and particularly collaborative work environment
  • Groundbreaking professional challenges and the autonomy to try stuff for the very first time, no matter how experienced you are
  • Real mentoring, intense brainstorming sessions and well-informed debates guided by a regular & straight-forward feedback philosophy
  • Pioneering work at the forefront of Big Data, Infrastructure and Machine Learning that sometimes means relying on academic papers as our only formal guiding tools in moving onwards
  • An engineering business culture where you speak the same language with your leaders
  • The thrill of being surrounded by extremely smart, yet humble individuals, a stellar international team that will both enable and encourage you to leave your mark
  • Fair compensation, ESOP and upward salary growth based on performance.

What we expect from you in return

  • High speed and uncompromising quality in your work.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and critical thinking.
  • Curiosity and deep engagement with problems you don’t fully understand (yet).
  • The ability to break down problems, challenge assumptions and ask good questions.
  • Comfort with ambiguity, paired with structure in execution.
  • Discipline in how you approach problems and communicate progress.
  • The drive to learn and build fast, with high-quality output.
  • Openness to feedback and the persistence to push through tough moments.
  • A genuine interest in working on hard, technical challenges at scale.
  • Resilience in the face of challenges, and the patience to grow through them.
  • Aversion to the idea of any customer or colleague struggling with what you delivered.
  • A collaborative mindset and clear communication.

We’re not a good fit if you

  • aren’t energized about what you do.
  • need constant validation to stay motivated.
  • are looking for predictable, easy days.
  • focus more on tools than on the actual problem
  • concentrate on tracking hours vs making meaningful progress.
  • prefer fragmented tasks rather than owning the entire problem from start to finish.
  • avoid feedback or discomfort — that’s where most of the growth lives.
  • believe success happens without putting in the work.
  • prefer remote work.

No point in wasting time

  • Your time here will be an investment not just in your skills, but in how you think, solve problems, and deliver under the pressure of high stakes that define the reality of a fast-paced startup environment.
  • The way we work is not for everyone. Working here isn’t easy. It’s demanding, intense, and far from ordinary. But for the right people, it’s incredibly rewarding.
  • We’re not just looking for interns to fill a temporary role. We’ll grant this opportunity to those top-performing people who have the potential to become long-term members of our team.
  • We need to be fast as a startup, so we expect you to be quick on your feet and excited to roll up your sleeves.

Raise the bar

We need people who are zealous about revolutionary technology, highly collaborative work and raising the bar on our product as it is unfolding.

Never settle
