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 40+ 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 enough, 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 a refined search engine for business data across all industries. Veridion takes an approach that’s similar to Google’s by providing business data enrichment with unprecedented coverage of SMBs, accurate classification and in-depth insights based on real-time updates.
  • We analyze hundreds of billions of webpages every month, then apply several AI models to break them down into usable business data.
  • This results in tens of data points associated with each company, such as the company description, alternative names, tags, business category & industry, office and retail locations.

What you‘ll do

You’ll be the go-to person for providing administrative support to the team, assisting with HR admin and recruiting-related tasks, researching various topics and managing the “backstage” of event planning, supporting the leadership team, handling office operations and facility management, coordinating with vendors and service providers, and sourcing new partners along the way.

What we value

  • We do remarkable work through breakthrough technology.
  • 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 loyal to the end goal, your team and yourself.
  • You’re persistent in your commitment and go the extra mile for long term impact.

What it’s really like to work with us

  • We don’t settle for mediocre results and set our ambition up for the inevitable delayed gratification, as excellence requires significant time and effort.
  • We use the right tool for the job. No workarounds, no cutting corners. Breakthrough technology declutters our day to day and gives us the space to channel our efforts on what can’t be compensated for — the best use of our skills and abilities.
  • We make sure there’s a fair exchange between what each of us offers and what we get in return.
  • We’re life-long learners who can’t stop, won’t stop at what they already know, striving to be better and see each other grow.
  • Forget about micromanagement. Everyone here has a strong sense of ownership (we’re like start-ups within a start-up).
  • We know from the get-go that excellence requires discomfort and it’s not going to get easier soon.
  • Our team is based in Sky Tower, Bucharest. Discussions around the office are often hilarious, mind-expanding and quick-witted. Our regular hybrid setup is 2 remote days per week after the 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.
