Betfair Romania Development tech hub, one of the most profitable IT companies in Romania, announces that it continues its growth plans on the local market.

The software development center in Cluj-Napoca aims to increase its team by 50% by the end of 2023, reaching the threshold of 1,500 employees who develop the global products of the Flutter Entertainment group.

“It’s an ambitious plan and the steady growth rate we’ve had, including the last two years, gives us the assurance that it’s realistic. We are a center of excellence in software and shared services, the largest of the Flutter Entertainment group, with an impressive portfolio of our own products. 

We provide an attractive mix of projects, technologies and benefits that IT professionals are looking for for a long-term career, and we pride ourselves on an organizational culture that encourages diversity, creativity and flexibility. We expect to reach the threshold of 1,500 employees by the end of 2023 “, said Ioana Popa, General Manager of Betfair Romania Development.

The company has open roles for IT specialists at all levels of experience, including management, offering development opportunities on multiple specializations and technologies. The new employees will become part of the teams that develop software products in seven main areas of activity: Gaming, Infrastructure, Customer Technology, Security, Data, Marketing and Shared Services. They will receive the full package of benefits offered to employees, which also includes various options related to the place and work schedule.

Currently, any Betfair Romania Development employee can choose to work remotely, hybrid or from the office, full-time or part-time. The 4-day work week is a possibility for those who prefer a focused work rhythm. For those who want to experience a new lifestyle, the company offers the possibility for some of the working days to be made from another country. At the same time, there is the option of a “sabbatical leave” of up to 3 months for larger personal plans.

The increase in the number of employees of the company comes in the context in which the center of excellence in Cluj-Napoca will take over new business lines within the Flutter Entertainment group, for the PokerStars, FanDuel and SportsBet brands. Cumulatively, the group’s brands have over 18 million customers globally.
