Description
SII Romania, a provider of technical services and IT solutions, announced the creation of 150 new positions for software engineers. The expansion is expected to involve the company's centre in Bucharest and to be completed by the end of 2021. The job creation is driven by the increase in turnover registered by the company during the past year and plans for further consolidation of its position on the Romanian market.
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company promoted the concept of “Work from Home” for its employees while for its partners it maintained the price of services, temporarily made payment deadlines more flexible and increased the level of support services provided. The portfolio of SII Romania customers covers mainly IT, Banking & Finance, Energy, Automotive, Transportation, Aerospace & Defense and other services for which the company delivers both digital software and engineering software projects for local and international markets.
In Romania, the company has a workforce of 350. The SII Group was founded in 1977 and employs over 10,000 software engineers across 19 countries.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
