Looking for people to join new #heavydots office in Romania #remote

Hello IH community!

I'm working on opening a branch office in Romania for http://heavydots.com/ custom development business that already exists in Barcelona, Spain.

We offer fullstack web development with PHP, Yii, MySQL and mobile development services with React Native.

I'm looking for the following:

  • IT manager role who can handle day to day management of service business and make sure team and projects are happy and on track (I love coding and entrepreneurship but organization, routine, processes, tools, not my strong point)
  • Business development / sales, either full-time, part-time or by comission, to make sure we bring in healthy clients with great budget
  • Senior developers, full-stack, backend, frontend, mobile (react native)
  • People with entrepreneur spirit such as a Indie Hacker who would like to develop and launch products / Saas, joining the team, working on client work and in paralel building a product

Why am I mentioning Romania? I'm in the process of getting a 40k EUR grant from EU to invest in local economy providing new jobs.

The vision and scope of HeavyDots as a business is intended to be global / international so we are open to bringing in people from anywhere but in case we get the grant we hope to establish a team in Romania but obviously working remotely.

So if any of the above interests you, please drop me a line at alex@heavydots.com and I'd love to hear if we can work together.

    Hey Alex, sounds like a cool company. How much are you willing to offer a senior front-end dev with 2+ years of React experience? Let's say you've done the interview and you're really happy and you're ready to make an offer. How much would that be? Cheers.

      Hi @sergeis thanks for your reply. Well, I must be sincere with you, all salaries for now must range between 1.5k-2k EUR depending on experience and responsibilities. I'd love to be able to offer more but that will depend on things such: 1) Are we working for clients with a budget that allows better pay? 2) Are we being efficient delivering the projects? 3) Are we getting other sources of income such as Saas/subscription? If those 3 points change in time I'm happy to offer more.

        Thanks a lot for being sincere! I'll refer some of my friends to this post, it really does seem like a good opportunity. Do you know at this time in which city you plan on opening the branch? Having lived both in Cluj and Sibiu, I can offer you my honest opinion: Cluj salaries are a bit spicy, they fit in your range and there are a lot of devs ready to fill that demand. Sibiu salaries are lower than your range from what I know but you won't find many developers as good as the ones from Cluj. I wish you all the best with Heavy Dots!

          Hi again @sergeis! Thanks for the feedback and for the referals. I'd be happy to hear from your friends. On the grant application I have indicated Targoviste, Dâmbovita, as the city where the office will be. But indeed I'm afraid I won't find developers in this city and will have to hire from anywhere in Romania and have them work remotely. I have just wrote an email to EU grants organization to ask for more details so I can know if I have any limitations regarding hiring people.
