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

  • Passionate about data, technically adept, and client-focused, you thrive on bridging the gap between complex technical challenges and client happiness. You prefer direct and effective communication and are energized by overcoming obstacles rather than deterred 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.
  • With a proven track record of high achievement in your academic, professional, or extracurricular pursuits, you enjoy the complex interplay between various domains related to your work and how they impact end results. You’re driven by your relentless curiosity and the desire for collaboration and knowledge sharing with some of the best minds in the industry.

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 will actively engage with potential clients through personalized and multi-channel communication strategies, working closely with Account Executives to understand and promote our data products in the Procurement landscape.
  • You will qualify leads, analyze sales data, and work closely with our dedicated Commercial team, while effectively collaborating with PreSales, Marketing and our Core Tech team to optimize lead generation strategies and exceed monthly and quarterly targets.

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.

  • You’re loyal to the end goal, your team and yourself.

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.

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.
  • Inclined to examine things from different perspectives and question the default, you’re willing to adapt and adjust, ensuring that the team operates cohesively and efficiently, keeping the end goal in sight.
  • 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 the pioneering work in deep tech.
  • You have excellent listening, negotiation and presentation skills and demonstrate the ability to communicate and influence all levels of the organization, including executive and C-level.
  • 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.
