International crypto exchange Binance is now hiring IT specialists and customer service representatives for its operations in Romania. The top coin trading platform also collaborates with Romanian universities and authorities on a number of educational initiatives.

The third-largest city in Romania, Iaşi, will house the technology hub for Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, and it plans to hire a number of experts this year. The hub was established in 2022, and the business is currently hiring employees.

There are already openings for IT specialists in the backend, quality assurance, front-end, and mobile.  Java, typescript, iOS, Android, automation, and framework expertise are required. 

Binance Country Manager for Romania Ilie Pușcaș stated: “Binance is constantly hiring and developing around the world, and Romania, recognized for its high skills in IT and technology, is an important point on our map”.

“Last year, we opened our first technology hub in the country, in Lași, after consistent discussions with the Romanian government, and this year we are entering a natural stage of growth, in which we want to attract many talents to our new center,” the executive added.

Additionally, Binance is hiring customer service representatives for its Bucharest offices. Its global website has a list of open positions for both the tech hub in Iaşi and the branch in Bucharest.

During a trip to Bucharest in September, Changpeng Zhao, the founder and CEO of Binance, announced the opening of the Romanian office. He met with important figures while there and discussed Binance’s plans to increase direct operations in Eastern Europe.

In addition to its recruitment efforts, Binance has supported numerous educational projects in Romania. To organize courses, webinars, and training in finance and cryptocurrency for Romanians, these are carried out in cooperation with other platforms, academic institutions, and governmental organizations. The company has already held meet-ups in Bucharest, Iași, and Cluj-Napoca.

Similar projects are being worked on by the global exchange in a number of other nations in the region and the former Soviet Union. Earlier in February, Binance committed to assisting Georgia in growing its cryptocurrency industry through conferences and educational initiatives.  It started a blockchain education program in Kazakhstan in December and offered assistance to Azerbaijan with cryptocurrency regulation.
