EstateGuru opens technology hub in Armenia
EstateGuru has opened a new technology hub in Yerevan, Armenia.
The European peer-to-peer lending platform said that while its product and innovation hub has always been in Estonia, its team in Armenia and neighbouring countries has grown to 25 staff members and it has incorporated technology talent from companies such as EPAM and Energize Global Services.
The platform said the core of its business model is digitisation with 90 per cent of the firm’s core processes being digitalised.

“We will continue to innovate and invest into our ambitious technology roadmap and, of course, the best talent,” said Marek Pärtel, co-founder and chairman of EstateGuru.
“We use the latest cloud technology to ensure scalability, resilience and flexibility. Our top-notch product and innovation hub has always been in Estonia, in the homeland of unicorns.
“At the same time, we already found the requisite technical talent in Armenia as far back as 2013, and by now the industry is really booming there so we’ve decided to open the back-end focused tech hub in Armenia.
“Our team there has grown rapidly and consists of 25 professionals already. We really appreciate the high-quality infrastructure and the high concentration of the IT-talent both from Armenia and its neighbouring countries.
“We also really appreciate the gender-balance we have there, as it’s not that typical in the industry. Our proprietary technology and superior customer experience are evidenced in our Trustpilot rating of ‘excellent’.”

“Our team consists of 25 talents both from Armenia as well as neighbouring countries Jordan, Syria and Iran,” said Ararat Yuzbashyan, chief technology officer of EstateGuru.
“Armenia’s position in the region, as well as the infrastructure to attract talent, is solid and I’m happy to say that we’ve incorporated technology talent from companies such as EPAM and Energize Global Services. Security and data-driven innovation are at the core of our IT roadmap looking into the future.
“The security of our technology infrastructure is continuously reviewed and tested by an independent third-party security team that monitors our systems and scans for vulnerabilities.
“And we have the best talents of the region in our data science team to support our development deliveries.”
