Build your AI-ready Extended Team®

Experienced developers in Moldova who already work with AI and become a full part of your team.

Trusted by software companies across Western Europe

THE CHALLENGE

AI is changing how software is built

Many software companies face the same situation. You want to move faster, build smarter, and integrate AI into your product, but adapting your team takes time.

Evolving Workflows

Modern collaboration requires a fundamental shift in how teams approach daily operations and strategy.

The AI Divide

Competitive advantages are shifting as the technical gap between legacy and AI-integrated teams widens.

Skill Expectations

Mastery of AI-driven tools is no longer optional for developers; it is now a core requirement for efficiency.

Project Friction

Operational bottlenecks occur when teams lack the proper training to integrate new intelligent frameworks.

THE SOLUTION

Your Extended Team®, built for how modern software teams work

Backstage IT helps companies across Western Europe build extended development teams in Moldova, developers who already work with AI. These are not freelancers or outsourced resources. They become a real part of your company.

Your company

You stay in control: of the work, the processes, and how AI is used in your product.

Real experiences from our partners

Sjoerd de Kreij

Co-Founder & CEO at Typetone

“Backstage IT has helped us a lot in finding the right talent for our project. Because we were and still are a startup working in the AI industry, we needed a young, flexible professional who would not only understand how AI works but also be excited about it. Also, another important thing for us was soft skills, and because of their amazing expertise, we found the perfect candidate that aligned with our company’s vision.
