UK-based digital transformation specialist Amdaris is making Bulgaria its next tech hub, expanding its presence into Eastern Europe.
The new site in Sofia, one of the emerging IT hubs in Eastern Europe, adds to Amdaris’ five other corporate offices in the UK, Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, and Dubai.
The Bulgarian branch will create new job opportunities for the growing pool of tech talent in the country. The firm is currently looking for more than 50 IT professionals seeking to develop their skills.
Amdaris will also offer various mentorships and internship programmes for the next generation of tech talent in the country.
As part of its new pledge, the new Amdaris centre will also offer employment opportunities for developers, QAs, project managers or other people with relevant skills who have fled Ukraine due to the ongoing conflict in the country.
“Amdaris is thrilled to open its doors in Sofia, another leading technology hub in Europe,” said Andy Rogers, co-CEO of Amdaris. “It’s our pledge to support those who have been displaced to have employment security for as long as required, with no employment obligations, growing one of the best tech centres in the world.”
Vesela Nikolova (pictured), who previously co-founded an e-commerce startup and 180 Degrees Consulting Sofia, a Sofia-based NGO, while spearheading business development and finance for esports.com, has been appointed as the Bulgarian centre director of Amdaris.
Nikolova expressed her excitement about joining the firm's senior leadership team.
“I knew right away that Amdaris was an exceptional company to be a part of and serves as the perfect opportunity to put my passions into action,” Nikolova added. “I am looking forward to building a pioneering office in Sofia and working together with the other five Amdaris offices to make a difference in not just the software development space but in the world around us as well.”
