The company has signed a five-year lease for two floors totaling 2,000 m2 of floor space in a new office building close to Vitosha Metro Station and Paradise Center. The development center in Sofia became Ocado Technology’s fourth location outside the UK, alongside two offices in Poland and one in Spain.
The company currently employs 60 employees and plans to expand its staff. The Sofia team will work on Ocado Technology’s world-class systems and solutions in the areas of robotics, machine learning, simulation, data science, warehouse control, warehouse management, and more.
