2004: Bogdan and Radu made their first jump together. Immersed in the world of technology and passionate about well-done work, we decided to Jump to the next level together and provide holistic web design and web development services for Litera Publishing House, our first client. Times flies, both companies grew and changed a lot, but our collaboration became even stronger and we are proud to work together, even after this many years.

2007: eJump was officially launched. After a few years of independent and sometimes joint projects, we celebrated eJump in its first rather modest office. Bootstrapping the business, the first two and only eJumpers shared the rent of an office at the 7th floor of what you couldn’t really call the fanciest building in the world. Nonetheless, we made great projects happen there.

2008: our first big project together Soon after the launch, a huge project (at that time) came our way. With 24 people involved, we had to create and develop interactive content for a complex e-learning platform for Siveco (a leading Romanian software house) through Litera Publishing House. It was a fun and interesting challenge, which catalyzed our growth and development, as a business.

2009: the first eJumpers. When our big project ended, some of our collaborators joined us on a permanent basis, increasing our team to five members. It was a happy and productive crowd that grew bigger every year.

2013: revamped our office. We wanted to make our awesome office even more awesome so we added an aquarium and we revamped the kitchen to be a proper one with an espresso machine. We adorned the terrace with flowers and generally made the eJump working space more comfortable and inspiring. Nobody wants to go home anymore. Is this normal?

Also we became platinum members on 99designs. Our primary playground launched the „Platinum Members” feature and we were among the first users to be hand-picked by the platform to be part of this special program, based on our excellent track record (i.e. best ratio for contests we won).

2014: reached a team of 10 members. Our team is getting bigger by the year. In 2014 we celebrated our tenth team member with a total headcount of 3 web designers, 5 developers and 2 managers. A big happy bunch, but we don’t plan to stop here.

We celebrated our first weekend retreat. The Great eJump. We planned an adventurous weekend and went camping in the nearby mountains and had a blast. After hard work comes hard fun.

1.    February 2015: moved into a new, bigger office. We made a big step and moved into an even fancier office, twice as large as the old one and located in a proper office building. We’re getting ready to host a bigger team of around 20 hard-working, talented and skilled people. Excited!

1.    March 2015: we attended our first student recruiting event. We managed to organize a big recruiting event in ASE, one of the top universities in Bucharest. Hundreds of students came and we had the chance to offer some friendly and useful advice and tell the story of eJump, which led to attracting new young talent in the company.

1.    May 2015: we received more than 100 applications for one of our open internships. Wow, eJump is becoming popular! So a job ad for one of our internship positions received a ton of awesome applications which makes us really happy and a little worried about the logistics. I guess our efforts of becoming popular are paying off.

June 2016: our team proudly launched our official website in a whole new light!  Some clients even shared their „Oh, I want a website like yours!” thoughts during our conversations. And we did. 

1.    October 2016: two projects we had worked on were nominated for the Webstock Awards. The next step would be to actually win once and get on that stage to thank our fans, family and God. Although we still prefer to work behind the scenes and let the clients be the stars.

1.    Spring 2017: Inovium officially emerges in the IoT world to help companies innovate their business through optimal automation! Long story short, here’s a magic mix of nerdy, fun and friendly software engineers skilled in cutting-edge Internet of Things tech. See their magic here: www.inovium.ro. Meanwhile, the eJumpers got their new ally – the first dedicated Project Manager!

Summer 2017: made beer for the first time. Yup, at the office. Here’s the entire story behind the eJumpiness experiment, a beer which refreshed our summer vacation at the seaside. Our guys and girls made it from scratch – from preparation to bottling and even labeling! 

We have started working on a funny and creative internal gamification system, integrated in our management app, Gândăcel. There’s a lot of work on the entire concept, designs, content and the implementation of it, so there will be a big blog announcement for it!

1.    Winter 2017: Part of our smart coders have been working on the Shiptech app, major management system for the international shipping industry for quite a few years and all the joint work paid off: the first big order was officially made!

1.    Summer 2018: The year of all possibilities. From projects involving Internet of Things and smart apps to Kinect-based, fun platforms to international projects from all areas (gambling, fashion, medical, travel, consulting, renting), we’ve been busy and together. We’re talking about at least 31 new web and mobile projects, and 17 completed projects on 99designs.

1.    Fall 2018: Pac-Man is here! Now, you get to catch the infamous Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde and win the game faster than Flash, to become a hero in our Wall of Fame – or better yet, in our crew! Without further ado, check the eJump version of the well-known game in our Careers section.

1.    Winter 2018: We continued the eJump tradition and made personalized t-shirts for each of the eJumper on their birthdays, wohoo! They were many, since we had 5 interns on board this summer (two of them officially part of our team). 2018 was also the year of taking more care of our wellbeing thanks to weekly coaching sessions for the crew. We continue to improve our soft and hard skills, learn how to deal with unhealthy stress and feel more productive. We’ve learned a lot more about how our mind works and about our reactions.

1.    Summer 2019: eJump is the place to be! We had 7 interns this year, some of them decided to hop on board and further develop those cool projects they started. The Internship Experience at eJump is always open to new interns. Our crew will take care of anyone and help accommodate them in no time, while lending a hand for you to discover the work, but also the fun of being in a great team and in this profession, after all.

This year we also decided to take over the design and implementation work for a new pro bono project, upgrader.biz – this is a platform aiming to strengthen and help the growing community of passionate and creative entrepreneurs in Romania.

1.    2019: we continue to grow each year and we are thankful for all that this great year has brought us. We launched the fabulous Gandacel Rewards module, which was very well received here at the eJump HQ, we play to win & we upgraded our office with an air purifier. It’s all so fresh and cool around here!

Our crew got some great new allies, which helped us deliver over 40 great & exciting projects. All of this, of course, while continuing to take care of our dear older projects.

Have you heard that saying: ‘Aim for the stars!’? Well, we thought what better way to end the year than training for this? And we did so, in our LogOut at Calibru9, we had a blast!

1.    2020: We’re expanding the eJump headquarters! The year has just begun, and we’re back with lots of energy and lots of plans. From having a new floor dedicated to the eJump crew to creative ideas to implement to make our client’s life easier, but we have fun too, so we’re already planning our next awesome weekend retreat. Also, we have a new Gratitude Challenge going around in the office. What a great start!
