The goal of the project is to set up dedicated teams of software engineers in Plovdiv and Sofia to work on the constant developments and improvements of the software. In Bulgaria, the dedicated teams are in the department that is responsible for the development of connectors among other things. The dedicated teams in Sofia and Plovdiv consist of highly experienced Java specialists, combining both technical and soft skills, who have developed deep domain knowledge in the payment sector.
