We’ve opened a larger, state-of-the-art Chișinău office as our Moldovan team continues to play a central role in our expanding international footprint.
Our new development hub in Chișinău spans 500 sq. m., replacing the original 125 sq. m. premises we opened in 2024, which quickly reached capacity as our Moldovan team continued to grow. The larger, more collaborative workspace is designed to support our next phase of growth — and marks another major milestone in our international expansion.
The expansion comes as our Moldova team has grown to more than 90 employees, a significant increase since we first established our presence in Chișinău. During the same period, we’ve almost doubled our global workforce, increasing headcount from 75 to 140 employees across Ireland, Moldova, Gibraltar and New York.
The new office was officially opened during a visit from our senior leadership team from Dundalk, with colleagues from across the business coming together to celebrate the evolution of the Moldova operation from a growing technology hub into one of our principal international offices.
One of Our Principal Product and Technology Hubs
Today, the Chișinău office plays a central role in delivering products for clients across Europe, combining technical excellence with a strong product mindset and a collaborative, cross-functional culture. Far from functioning as a satellite engineering centre, our Moldova operation has evolved into one of our principal product and technology hubs. The team brings together expertise across product management, project delivery, software engineering, quality assurance and AI-driven solutions, working alongside colleagues across the business to own products from initial discovery and strategy through development, testing, deployment and continuous improvement.
“When we opened our first office in Chișinău, less than two years ago, we knew we had found something special. What we perhaps didn’t anticipate was just how quickly the team would grow, and how central Moldova would become to The Unit’s success. Our colleagues here are integral to our operations, helping to shape our products, work directly with clients, and collaborate with teams across every part of the business.” — Paddy Casey, Co-Founder of The Unit
Investing in Moldova’s Growing Tech Community
The investment further demonstrates our long-term confidence in Moldova as one of Europe’s emerging technology hubs. Home to a highly educated, multilingual workforce and a thriving software development community, the country continues to attract international technology businesses seeking world-class engineering talent.
“The growth we’ve experienced over the past two years has been incredible. Today we’re much more than an engineering centre. We bring together product managers, project leaders, engineers and QA specialists who work closely with colleagues across The Unit to deliver products from concept through to launch and ongoing optimisation. That’s something we’re incredibly proud of.” — Artiom Bazirca, Managing Director of The Unit Moldova
Building One Global Team
The expansion forms part of our long-term commitment to Moldova as one of our key talent hubs, enabling us to recruit exceptional new colleagues while creating stronger opportunities for existing employees to develop their careers. The new hub has significantly enhanced the onboarding experience for new hires, encouraged greater collaboration between teams, and fostered more knowledge-sharing and mentoring across the business.
“One of the things we’re most proud of is that The Unit operates as one global team — whether someone is based in Dundalk, Chișinău, Gibraltar or New York, they’re part of the same conversations, solving the same challenges and building the same products. There can still be outdated perceptions about technology hubs outside some of Europe’s larger cities, but anyone who visits this office quickly realises the quality of the talent, the professionalism of the team and the environment we’ve created. It’s a workplace that rivals any technology company anywhere in Europe.” — Alan Bruce, COO of The Unit
We continue to expand our portfolio of specialist product development services, including frontend and backend engineering, native mobile development, AI module development, Web3 smart contract engineering, UI/UX design, technical consultancy and dedicated development teams for betting and iGaming businesses worldwide.
