What skills do you think will be most important for cloud infrastructure specialists in the next 3–5 years?

With the constant development of technologies in the field of cloud solutions and the growing interest of companies in them, specialists in this field are increasingly in demand. The migration from private infrastructures to cloud solutions requires experts who can create secure, efficient, and financially sound plans, as well as architectures that do not disrupt the availability of business products.

The market is moving towards more complex roles that combine design, cost optimization, automation, working with multi-cloud and hybrid environments, and security. This is a natural evolution of the specialist profile and reflects the long-term goals of companies in the field of cloud solutions.

Candidates are increasingly valued for soft skills that enable them to translate technical skills in cloud solutions into business value. Presentation skills and the ability to adapt content for non-technical audiences will also find increasing application in the intertwined infrastructure and business solutions in the cloud.

What approaches do you use at Paysafe to develop and retain talent in a team that works with cloud technologies?

At Paysafe, we focus on technical work in which employees see meaning, opportunities for growth and development, a positive culture, and the idea that cloud infrastructure solutions have value equivalent to that of our business products. In modern business applications to end customers, infrastructure plays a key role in ensuring fast, secure, and reliable service for our users.

Beyond the ongoing maintenance of our systems, employees work on business tasks with infrastructure dependencies that provoke technical thinking and experimentation, leading to the construction of architecture and a model for its reliable long-term maintenance, often distributed across different teams and continents. Paysafe operates in a modern DevOps-oriented environment that encourages collaboration, autonomy in decision-making, and the use of modern infrastructure tools such as code, monitoring, and telemetry.

Employees have access to a variety of resources with up-to-date technical literature and certification opportunities provided by the company.

What role do you think automation and artificial intelligence will play in the development of talent in this field?

Automation and artificial intelligence are the main accelerators of technical development for candidates in the field of cloud technologies. They help create intelligent and predictable technical solutions, with an additional key feature: the ability to automatically recognize and correct errors.

By using automation for routine operations, specialists gain more time to invest in infrastructure development and decision-making for its improvement based on feedback from monitoring tools that track systems at multiple levels and build a comprehensive picture of behaviour.

What new roles or profiles do you expect to see emerge in the field of cloud infrastructure, and how should candidates prepare for them?

With the development of cloud solutions, artificial intelligence, and automation capabilities, traditionally known roles will evolve into new hybrid ones in line with market demand.

Some of these roles are:

Cloud-native Platform Engineer – focused on creating platforms for developing cloud-based business systems

Cloud FinOps Specialist – as infrastructure grows, so does the need for cost control and optimization

SecOps Engineer – working with infrastructure as code for security control, as well as building systems for early problem detection

To prepare, candidates need to keep up with trends in the field, as well as the increasing number of products appearing in the portfolios of companies offering cloud solutions. Researching and experimenting with new technologies gives candidates visibility into new opportunities that they can use as part of their work, apply them, and improve existing infrastructure solutions.

In such a dynamic industry like fintech, how do you manage to maintain balance between work and personal life?

With the rise of new technologies, there is no longer a real boundary between work and personal life. The idealized “perfect work-life balance” is, to me, an illusion. No matter how much we try to keep them separate, the pressure of deadlines and tasks inevitably spills into our personal time, while personal responsibilities also make their way into the work environment.

I like the concept of work-life integration. I try to structure my day so that work and personal life complement each other instead of competing. Family dinners and weekends are “sacred” – the laptop stays closed. I also schedule short breaks during the day to recharge and gain a fresh perspective. This way, my career keeps progressing, and at the same time my children see me as a present parent, not just someone behind a screen.

What practices or habits do you find most helpful in building a healthy work culture?

For me, the most valuable thing is that people know they can openly talk about their workload and needs.

We are in an industry that never stops, but without transparency, stress builds up and eventually bursts out at the wrong moment. That’s why in my team I encourage flexibility and lead by example in respecting boundaries. The focus is not on watching the clock from 9 to 6, but on whether the work gets done.

We also try to keep meetings purposeful, not just “for sport.” At the same time, we don’t forget their social element – after all, we are humans first. When people feel trust and support, they give their best without burning out.

Do you have personal strategies that help you set boundaries and avoid burnout?

Saying “no” is perhaps the hardest but also the most valuable habit. I use deep work blocks (at least twice a day for 30 minutes) to maximize productivity. I also take short walks around the office or at least have a proper lunch break, even on the busiest days – the brain works better when you give it some air.

When I feel burnout creeping in, I disconnect completely from emails and chats for an entire weekend. This is not a luxury, but an investment in my own effectiveness.

How do you think the topic of work-life balance will evolve in IT and fintech in the coming years?

We will talk more about integration rather than perfect separation. Hybrid work and automation will give us the freedom to organize our days according to personal priorities. To me, companies should establish clear rules based on delivered results, not on staying in the office or being online.

A well-rested person with clear priorities can be much more effective. As I said, it’s not balance but integration that will be the decisive factor in the battle for talent.

What are the main challenges for people in the tech field when it comes to balance?

The biggest challenge is the feeling that we need to be “always on.” The fast pace makes you think that if you stop, you’ll fall behind. Endless meetings and constant notifications eat up the time for real focus.

There is also a culture of “heroism” – working late to save a project. It happens and can be useful, but only if it’s an exception, not the rule. We need to consciously pause and reset the rules of the game.

What role do flexible work models – such as hybrid work – play in better combining personal and professional life?

The hybrid model is a huge advantage when used wisely. It saves commuting time that can be invested in family or personal projects. It gives you the choice to work where you are most productive – at home for focus, or in the office for team energy. But for it to work, there needs to be a clear framework – when it’s important to be together and when distance is the better option.

For my personal effectiveness, I prefer to be in the office. But having the flexibility to stay home when needed gives me the peace of mind not to worry about “what if.” Every worry avoided is energy I can channel into something useful.

What advice would you give to your colleagues in the sector to find a more sustainable rhythm between personal and professional life?

Decide what is important to you outside of work and protect it as a top priority. Find a way to align it with your work process. Trust your team and don’t try to be everywhere. Work smart, automate, and prioritize instead of simply piling on hours. And most importantly – don’t wait until you feel burnout to start taking care of yourself.

Neda Vacheva is the Director of Consumer Delivery in Paysafe’s product team, with over 10 years of experience in program and project management in the fintech sector. She leads a global team of program managers responsible for the execution of key B2C products and initiatives. Her role sits at the intersection of the product, technical, and business teams, connecting the vision and strategy behind the products (“why”) with the actual execution (“how”). She is inspired by the opportunity to bring people with different perspectives together around a common goal and create synergy – not just because they “have to,” but because they find purpose in it.

What skills do you think are most important for successfully working in a global company with teams from all across the globe?

The most important thing is to communicate clearly, keeping in mind cultural differences and ensuring that everyone understands the same thing. It may sound simple, but it can be a real challenge in a global team.

I have often heard “yes, I understand,” and days later realized that the person was embarrassed to admit a lack of understanding and was hoping to just figure it out later  Agreement doesn’t always mean true understanding. I have learned to always seek confirmation and to create an atmosphere where everybody is comfortable to ask for further clarification. This is not because of  mistrust, but out of respect for the complexity of the environment in which we work.

For me, successful communication also means sensing cultural nuances. “That’s interesting,” said by a British colleague may actually mean “I completely disagree, but I don’t want to argue” While the 5-minute informal “How are you, what are you doing this weekend?” in Latin America is not just politeness, but an important part of the meeting.

In my opinion, the key skills are:

• Clear communication of goals and expectations – what we want to achieve, when, who is responsible, how we will measure success. This should be a shared understanding, not just a polished presentation slide.
• Cultural adaptability and flexibility – knowing when to create a personal connection and when to return to the structure of the conversation. An approach that works for one culture may be incomprehensible or even off-putting in another.
• Trust and delegation – building trust from a distance is difficult but crucial. Good leaders know when to get involved and when to give space.

How do you organize communication and working hours with colleagues in different countries? Are there any cultural or work-related specifics that you take into account?

We currently work mainly with teams from Europe, the US, and Latin America – three time zones, three different rhythms. I structure my time so that I have slots for each location, avoiding extreme hours and relying heavily on asynchronous coordination. We actively use AI, which automatically facilitates meetings outside working hours, and the next morning we receive summarised decisions and next steps. To a large extent, this gives us a sense of participation without actually having to be physically “in the room.”

There are cultural differences, and they are mainly felt in communication – in the US, they prefer short and structured meetings, while for Latin Americans, personal connection and the “first five minutes” of the conversation are important. The British are famously diplomatic, while Bulgarians, in contrast, are super direct. Diversity is both the challenge and the charm of working in a global environment.

Can you recall a situation where cultural differences led to a misunderstanding? How did you overcome it?

I wouldn’t say that cultural differences in themselves lead to misunderstandings. Rather, it’s a lack of clarity. When teams know why they are involved in a particular project, what problem they are solving and for whom, and responsibilities are clearly assigned, then location doesn’t matter.

Yes, there are cultural peculiarities, but they carry enormous potential for innovation, as long as we perceive them not as differences but as additions. Diversity brings energy and vitality.

What are the biggest advantages of working in a multicultural environment? How does it enrich you professionally and personally?

The biggest advantage is that you step out of your own ” bubble” and realize that there is no one truth – there are many ways to achieve good results.

Working in a global team has taught me to listen more, to ask questions instead of making assumptions, and not to take my own perspective as the measure of the world.

Professionally, I believe this makes me a better leader. Personally, it has made me a more curious person.

How do you maintain a sense of teamwork and belonging when working with people you rarely see in person?

Face-to-face meetings are difficult to replace, but you can build trust and a sense of closeness even from a distance. I personally believe in the power of small things– helping without being asked, sending a GIF at just the right moment when someone needs a break. It is also important that meetings are not always simply focused on metrics but that there is space for conversations on a more personal level, talking  about favorite places, experiences, hobbies. From virtual cafes to online toasts – there are many options, as long as there is a desire.

What best practices would you share with someone who is going to work in an international team for the first time?

Above all, listen more than you speak. Don’t make assumptions. Ask questions if you don’t understand the context – you’ll be surprised how often others don’t understand the same thing. Be punctual and respect other people’s time. Use video whenever possible. And most importantly, be yourself – people can sense when you’re being sincere, and that’s what builds trust.

Konstantin Drenski, Senior Software Engineer

Konstantin has been a senior software engineer at Paysafe since 2021. In addition to the financial industry, his professional career to date includes experience on several large software projects in the telecommunications and energy sectors. In his free time, he enjoys sports, traveling, and experimenting with new technologies.

Alexander Petrov, Software Engineer

Alexander is a software engineer with 5 years of experience in Java, Spring Boot, and microservices architecture. Outside of work, he has a strong interest in electric vehicle platforms and battery technology. He often applies his engineering mindset to his hobbies, whether it’s home automation, energy efficiency, or smart solutions for everyday life.

Stoyan Stoyanov, Junior Software Engineer

Stoyan has been a Software Engineer at Paysafe since 2024. He holds an engineering degree in mechanical engineering and transitioned into the field of software engineering about four years ago. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family and actively engaging in various sports activities.

What do you like most about your job as a software engineer?

Konstantin: What I like most is the opportunity to solve complex problems through technology and create solutions that have a real impact.

Alexander: I like that I can create something useful, from an idea to a real working product. I feel satisfied when I see how the solution I have worked on makes others’ work easier or contributes to a better experience for end users. In addition, my profession constantly challenges me – there is always something new to learn and improve upon.

Stoyan: I like the fact that by writing code, we actually solve problems and create value. The work combines logic and creativity, and the greatest satisfaction comes when I see something I’ve worked on being used in real life—especially on a large scale, as I’ve seen with my previous employers and now at Paysafe. Technology is constantly changing, which keeps me curious and engaged – it’s never boring.

When you encounter a technical challenge, how do you approach solving it?

Konstantin: When I encounter a technical challenge, I first analyze it thoroughly, break it down into smaller parts, and systematically seek a solution through research, testing, and collaboration with the team.

Alexander: First, I try to really understand the problem– what exactly is not working and why. Then I develop a clear plan of action – step by step. If necessary, I look for information, consult with colleagues, or try out different options. I believe that with patience, logic, and good communication, every challenge has a solution.

Stoyan: I usually start by understanding the full context – not just what’s broken, but why, and what should be happening. I break the problem down into smaller steps and look for confirmation through logs, tests, or observing the behavior of the system. If I’m stuck, I don’t hesitate to ask a colleague for advice. My work so far has taught me that asking the right question at the right time saves a lot of time and effort.

What is the most important lesson you have learned so far in your career?

Konstantin: The most important lesson I have learned so far in my career is that effective communication and collaboration are as key to success as technical skills.

Alexander: My most important lesson so far is that at work, especially in a team, it is not only important to find a solution, but also how you present and communicate it. A good software engineer is not someone who knows everything, but someone who knows how to work effectively with others, share knowledge, and create clarity, not confusion.

Stoyan: I have learned that communication is just as important as writing good code. There have been cases where better coordination would have saved hours of debugging. Another important lesson is that good planning and design at the beginning can save a lot of headaches in the end – something I have also seen in larger projects in a corporate environment.

How do you maintain and develop your skills in the dynamic world of technology?

Konstantin: I maintain and develop my skills through continuous learning. I follow new technologies, participate in online courses, read specialized literature, and engage in practical projects that challenge me to step outside my comfort zone.

Alexander: I try to regularly find time for learning, sometimes through online courses, sometimes through real projects, or by setting myself new challenges. I keep track of what is changing in our field, I like to experiment and ask myself the question: “Can this be done better?” For me, development is a continuous process.

Stoyan: To be honest, my free time doesn’t always allow me to keep up with everything new, so I try to get involved in a variety of tasks and projects at work that allow me to learn new technologies. This way, I learn practically – “on the go,” through real problems. This helps me develop naturally, without losing touch with the real context.

What do you think makes a team of software engineers successful?

Konstantin: In my opinion, a successful team of software engineers is built on open communication, mutual trust, clearly defined roles, and shared responsibility for the end result.

Alexander: A successful team is built on trust, respect, and open communication. Everyone should feel free to share ideas and concerns. When people help each other, learn from each other, and work together toward a common goal, the results are really good. And last but not least, a good mood in the team is always reflected in the quality of the work.

Stoyan: Clear communication and a culture of mutual trust are the foundation. In a strong team, people help each other, are not afraid to share uncertainties, and give each other feedback. In my opinion, teams are most effective when everyone is clear about how they contribute, but is also open to getting involved in things outside their comfort zone if necessary. I have seen this in practice – good teams are immediately recognizable by the way they communicate and take responsibility.

How do you enjoy working from an office in nature from two huts in Vitosha? 

Variety in daily life is an important part of the rhythm of work, not only because it improves emotional stability and health, but also because it naturally unlocks human creativity. Because our work in the IT department is not trivial and we don’t always know in advance the steps that will solve the problem at hand, some of the idea generation happens in unconventional places, often away from the computer. In this line of thought, we appreciate very much the flexibility that Paysafe provides us, to work in nature for part of the time, to enjoy the sun, greenery and fresh air.

What are the main advantages for you when working in the mountains compared to working in a traditional office environment? 

Working outdoors in the mountains activates alternative parts of the brain that often get left behind in a predictable office environment where everything looks the same, day after day. In fact, some of our boldest ideas have been generated outside of the regular office environment and the effect on team spirit is unparalleled.

How does this change in environment affect you – do you feel a difference in concentration, motivation or work-life balance? 

I have noticed that after a day like this, all colleagues are extremely energised and I am sure that even after they go home, the feeling remains and they are able to share it with their loved ones. This is the magic of fresh air, open skies and the living forest. For me personally, the feeling after such a day, no matter how busy it was in terms of operational tasks, is like coming back from an outing with friends.

How often do you take this opportunity and does it happen that you work from the hut together with colleagues? 

We use this opportunity the most in the warm season, when the weather is suitable to stay outdoors all day. This means that we open the season from the beginning of June and close it after mid-October when late autumn starts. So far, I have never gone to work from the hut alone, we are always together with colleagues – it is so much more fun, and more productive. Many times we have used these days out to organize workshops with the teams in order to generate ideas, solve a particular problem and bring the team together.

How do your family and friends react when they find out you work from a cabin in the mountains?

Some of them, who are not used to the concept, are surprised, even asking me, “Well, how come? Do you manage to do good work from there?” I answer this question with a smile, assuring them that some of our most significant results have been achieved precisely through the unconventional approach, encouraging them to try it too, if of course their employer offers them such flexibility. I have also shown them photos of workshops in nature, where the mood and commitment of the participants is evident. After such a discussion I leave everyone with a curiosity and willingness to try and give something new and different a chance.

What place do nature and the mountains have in your way of working and taking care of yourself?

No matter how advanced we are as a society and technology, nature remains our natural habitat. I am personally of the opinion that without regular contact with it, true and complete human health and happiness is unattainable. That’s why I’ve given this type of activity a central place in my life, taking every possible moment to be outside in the woods or a nearby park. As for outdoor work – it inspires me, refreshes me and brings me new perspectives.

Would you recommend this model of work to colleagues and why?

Not only do I recommend this model of work to colleagues, I directly encourage them and go with them when commitments allow. I have repeatedly recommended working from the mountains to my fellow managers as an excellent prerequisite for running successful team workshops, and quite a few of them have already been convinced by personal experience. I would like to tell everyone who reads these lines not to hesitate and get up in the mountains, try the homemade breakfast softies, open their laptop and see what wonders their mind will create in this environment free from office barriers.

Amidst the billions of dollars being invested in AI technology and the confidence that tech giants are heralding towards it, the lay off trend in #tech business continues in 2024.

This past March, dozens of companies laid off employees, struggling with challenging market conditions. While the losses that tech firms have suffered since the beginning of January have been many times less than previous years, curbing inflation and an improving economic picture are not enough to end the layoffs.

Below you’ll see a list of companies that laid off employees in March, some of which have permanently suspended operations, TechCrunch reports.

ChowNow

ChowNow has laid off 20% of its staff following the acquisition of sales platform Cuboh. This isn’t the first layoff for the company, which laid off 100 people in 2022.

Nintendo of America

The company everyone knows is restructuring its testing department, at the expense of the employees it’s made up of. A Nintendo spokesperson told Kotaku that the changes will put an end to some tasks, but will result in the creation of new full-time positions. However, whether the hopeful plans for employees will come to fruition remains to be seen.

Dell

Dell has reduced its global workforce by about 6,000 jobs, according to a 10-K filed with the SEC. The filing reveals that the company has cut 13,000 jobs over the past year.

Synctera

Synctera also makes the list of companies that have entered the lay off trend. A Fintech Business Weekly report said the layoffs affected 17 people, or about 15% of the company.

ShopBack

ShopBack has eliminated 195 positions in an effort to become more sustainable, CEO Henry Chan wrote in a blog post. The layoffs affect nearly a quarter of the company’s employees.

Airmeet

Airmeet has cut 20% of its total workforce in its second restructuring in the past year.

Chipper Cash

CEO Ham Serunjogi announced in a blog post that he has made another round of cuts affecting 20 employees.

Textio

Texito has reportedly made 16% of its staff redundant in a strategic move to support its Textio Lift product.

Stash

The company has laid off about 25% of its employees. According to Axios, the layoffs affect about 80 people.

Phantom Auto

Phantom Auto has ceased operations after failed attempts to secure new funding, TechCrunch reports. The remote driving startup, which laid off employees last year, employed just over 100 people.

IBM

IBM also made the list of companies that laid off employees in March. This time, the company laid off its marketing and communications workforce. Earlier, IBM announced a strategy to replace up to 8,000 jobs with artificial intelligence.

Inscribe.ai

Inscribe.ai has laid off just under 40% of its staff, the company confirmed to TechCrunch.

Turnitin

Turnitin is another company that laid off around 15 people earlier this year, following comments from CEO Chris Karen that the company would be able to cut 20% of its staff again thanks to artificial intelligence.

Sorare

Sorare has laid off 13% of the people working in its New York office. According to claims from a source via TechCrunch, the reason for this is that fantasy sports platform Web3 is focusing on its Paris headquarters.

Project Ronin

Project Ronin has carried out a mass layoff that has affected around 150 employees. The reason for it is the winding down of the company.

Huang’s opinion doesn’t seem to have changed much. He is still of the opinion that you don’t have to be a programmer with excellent C++ knowledge to be successful. What engineers need to succeed is to be fast.

“You just have to be a fast engineer. And who can’t be a fast engineer? When my wife talks to me, she’s a fast engineer,” he replies.

“We all have to learn how to cue artificial intelligence, but it’s no different than learning how to cue the people on your team,” he adds.

He says these skills can be vital for young people entering the job market at an opportune time.

“Artificial intelligence is a new industry – that’s why we say there’s a new industrial revolution. In the future, almost all of our computing will be generated,” he said.

Some time ago, Jensen Huang was harshly criticized for statements in which he argued that it should not and does not make sense for young people today to devote time and attention to coding because artificial intelligence will do it for them.

He said this time should be invested in developing expertise in industries such as agriculture, biology, manufacturing and education. He stresses that upskilling can be key to making progress by helping people better understand how and when to use AI programming.
