UiPath, the leading enterprise Robotic Process Automation (RPA) software company, announced today the opening of its second office in Romania. The decision to create a new RPA development hub in Cluj was prompted by the acquisition of the Smart Data Platform technology from Recognos, the well-established Cluj-based software company founded more than 18 years ago.

The Cluj office will be built around a team of people that contributed to the development of the Recognos Smart Data Platform, and will be led by Andrei Roth, former manager of the local Recognos office.

Andrei has ambitious hiring plans for the next months and he has already begun searching for Cluj-based senior .NET developers as well as RPA developers. The future Cluj-based UiPath .NET team will develop core activities for the UiPath Platform, while the RPA developers in the Cluj office will focus on supporting UiPath’s implementations and partners in the German-speaking countries.

To give more information about the company’s plans in Cluj, the UiPath HR team will welcome applicants and answer questions at the company’s booth during the DevTalks Conference in Cluj on May 16th.

UiPath’s Cluj office is the latest addition to our expanding global operation, and it made perfect sense to open our second Romanian office here as we will tap into an impressive IT talent pool. As our fourth product development hub, the smart minds of Cluj will work in a truly global team alongside our developers in Bucharest, Bellevue - US, and Bengaluru - India, declared Daniel Dines, CEO and Co-Founder of UiPath.

I believe that the talented resources of Cluj fully deserve the exciting and envelope-pushing work environment and company culture that UiPath offers. RPA is reinventing the very concept of work, and UiPath is a visionary company at the forefront of this global phenomenon. Smart and dedicated professionals are the trailblazers of UiPath on almost all continents, and I know that our local team will significantly support the growth of our first unicorn, said Andrei Roth, the manager of the Cluj office.

The use of the Smart Data Platform within UiPath RPA Platform will allow for a simpler and faster information extraction from unstructured data sources.
