Who we are

  • We’re a VC-backed start-up that has raised $9M to date frxom 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 we already work with some of the largest enterprises 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 and resourceful, 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 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 100+ 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.

What you‘ll do

  • You will work with people who raise your standards
      • in a high-performance, no-BS culture
      • on problems that don’t have playbooks yet
      • at the forefront of Big Data, Machine Learning & Infrastructure
      • contributing directly to core product decisions
      • inside a system that maps the real business world in real time
      • on your path to operating at a level most never reach.

What we value

  • We do remarkable work by building what others call impossible through breakthrough technology.
  • We’re loyal to what we’re building and to the people who build it.
  • We’re persistent in our mission, as long-term impact takes discipline, not luck.

What you embody

  • You do remarkable work through consistency, work ethic and your craft.
  • You’re loyal to the team you belong to and committed to building something that matters.
  • You’re persistent in solving what matters, moving fast so that impact compounds.

What it’s really like to work with us

  • You’ll be treated as an adult. That means real responsibility, real impact, and real accountability.
  • We work on problems that don’t come neatly defined. Part of your job is to break them down before you solve them.
  • We’re focused and we move fast. You’re stepping into a moving system, and adapting quickly to it will be part of the job.
  • You won’t be assigned “practice work.” Everything you touch matters.
  • Feedback is direct. So are expectations.
  • The learning curve is steep. The expectations are high. But so is your growth. You’ll have support, but not micromanagement.
  • Ownership here means driving things forward, not waiting to be told what to do next.
  • Staying up to date is super important to us, but using the right tool for the job is non-negotiable. We care about solving the problem well, not about using trendy tools for the optics. Often, that still means using the most advanced tools available.
  • We know from the get-go that excellence requires discomfort and it’s not going to get easier soon.

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 and solve the problems you’re working on your way.
  • Grant you the freedom and trust 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, transparent work environment where you can openly say what’s on your mind.
  • Protect your time from pointless meetings so you can focus on your work without interruption.
  • Listen actively so we can fully understand your perspective.
  • Provide guidance and actionable feedback for your further growth.
  • Celebrate your wins and give recognition for your impact.

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.
  • Design and ship production-grade components that integrate into live systems.
  • Write code that survives scale, not just local testing.
  • Investigate failures, trace root causes, and fix them at the source.
  • Take ownership of problems that aren’t perfectly defined and shape them into something solvable.
  • Reach your first production deployment within your first month, earning trust through delivery.

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 solving the challenges in the recruitment process, using any language, stack, or tools you’re comfortable with.
    • What matters is how you think, how much effort you put into truly understanding the problem, and how you structure and document your approach.
    • A sophisticated solution means nothing if it solves the wrong problem. If you define the problem poorly, everything that follows will be flawed.
    • 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, impact-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 without compromising quality.
  • Strong problem-solving and critical thinking.
  • Curiosity and deep engagement with problems you don’t fully understand (yet).
  • The ability to break down ambiguity, challenge assumptions and ask good questions.
  • Comfort with uncertainty, paired with structured execution.
  • Discipline in how you think, build, and communicate progress.
  • The drive to learn fast and ship work you’re proud of.
  • Openness to feedback and the growth mindset to improve from it.
  • A genuine interest in solving hard technical challenges at scale.
  • The persistence to push through tough moments without losing focus.
  • 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 genuinely curious about the problems you work on.
  • need constant reassurance to stay motivated.
  • are looking for predictable, low-effort days.
  • focus more on tools than on understanding the problem.
  • measure contribution by hours tracked instead of impact created.
  • prefer narrowly defined tasks over end-to-end ownership.
  • avoid feedback or discomfort (that’s where growth happens).
  • expect progress without putting in the work.
  • prefer remote work.
  • If you’re looking for comfort or just an internship, this isn’t it. If you’re looking to put in the work to grow fast, you’ll feel at home.

No point in wasting time

  • Your time here won’t just grow your technical skills. It will shape how you think, structure problems, and operate under real stakes, where your decisions have visible consequences.
  • The way we work isn’t for everyone. It’s demanding, intense, and requires real ownership. For the right people, it’s deeply rewarding.
  • We’re not looking to fill a temporary internship slot. We’re looking for students who have the potential and the ambition to become long-term members of our team.
  • We operate with startup speed and startup stakes. That means thinking fast, adapting quickly, and being willing to step in where needed.

Full disclosure

The way we work is not for everyone. And that's perfectly fine. We need to be fast as a start-up, so we expect you to be quick on your feet when it comes to making decisions and excited to roll up your sleeves to help the team in any way you can.

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

You'll be perfect for this role if you're not afraid to use every muscle and are comfortable taking on a lot of responsibility, leaving no stone unturned in your pursuit against the grain.

If you've read this far

You should be able to determine upfront whether you would thrive in a culture like ours. Having your expectations of professional growth in mind, we trust you are able to tell if this opportunity is a potential driver to your success.

First token of ownership

Here's an invitation to take your time and reflect on how much our core values and collective behaviors resonate with you and suit your style.

This way forward

And how much being a part of building something remarkable this way feels right for you going further.

If you're excited about our mission, but don't yet meet 100% of the qualifications above, we still encourage you to apply.
