Why scaling companies choose Backstage IT
Four things that make Extended Teams® work, and keep them working.
What our partners say
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. The impressive onboarding experience and the overall collaboration gave us complete trust to build an even bigger team with Backstage IT.”
Axel
CEO at What’s Next
“We are really happy with the way the Backstage developers have integrated into our team. They bring strong skills and the right mindset to help us move forward.”
WHY MOLDOVA
One of the fastest-emerging tech hubs in Europe
Moldova has developed into one of the fastest-growing tech communities in Eastern Europe: close enough to visit, strong enough to build on.
For many partners, this helps them:
- scale their engineering team faster
- ease hiring pressure in Western Europe
- keep product development moving
- build stable teams for the long term

Real people behind the code
Developers are people, not resources. Strong teams are built around people. At Backstage IT, developers work in a professional environment where they feel supported, connected, and proud of the work they do. We invest in community, knowledge sharing, and collaboration because developers who feel valued build better software.

Professional office
A real workspace in Chișinău where your team collaborates, focuses, and feels part of something bigger.
Local bonding
Culture built around people who genuinely enjoy working together.





Developer events
Regular community events and knowledge sharing sessions across all teams.
Built for focus and collaboration
Developers who feel supported and connected build better software. That's the foundation everything else is built on.
