Cognizant Softvision accelerates expansion in Romania adding 500 new positions by the end of the year

Cognizant Softvision, a global leader in product engineering, is expanding its Romania operations to meet demand for its digital development and transformation solutions used by leading financial services, insurance, retail and travel, and other companies. At least 500 new positions are being added for creative technologist roles and are expected to be filled by the end of the year. 

With approximately 1,700 employees now in Romania, Cognizant is already recognized as one of the country’s leading technology employers.

In addition to new jobs, the digital engineering division of Cognizant plans to open design studios in key metropolitan areas Bucharest, Iasi and Timisoara. Cognizant Softvision’s global clients include Groupon, Macy’s and Mozilla.

Romania is the hub of Cognizant Softvision’s global network of more than 3,000 product, design and engineering professionals in 30 studios across 9 countries on five continents.  Softvision, prior to its 2018 acquisition by Cognizant, was well-established in Romania, having been founded in the United States more than 20 years ago. As one of the world’s leading professional services firms, Cognizant reported USD 16.13 billion in 2018 revenue. The combination of Softvision and Cognizant has created one of the world’s top digital engineering companies and a leader in software product development.

The new Cognizant Softvision brand was officially launched in August at Untold, an annual European music festival attracting more than 350,000 concert-goers this year.  As Untold’s 2019 “Innovation Sponsor,” Cognizant Softvision showcased its brand and capabilities to attendees by designing the festival’s smart assistant info point chatbot.
