About us
Established in 2006, Eau de Web (www.eaudeweb.ro) is a Romanian company specialized in web development and digital content publishing. The four founders of our company have been actively involved since the beginning in the core business as managers and/or solution architects.
The organizational structure of Eau de Web is simple but efficient, centred around customers, contracts and technologies. Project teams are led by highly qualified senior consultants, having solid experience in both software development and project/people management, or by project managers with solid software development know-how.
Most of our work is open-source and some of our code is re-used by other communities. Our team includes contributors to Drupal and Plone core and add-ons.
The areas covered by Eau de Web’s specialists vary from requirements definition, software architecture and system design, modern user interface design, accessibility and usability audits, development of web-based applications, component and system integration, system and data migration, application management, system maintenance, web hosting, helpdesk and support, training services and materials, all done using Agile practices.
The management’s policy towards professional careers is to maintain a highly collaborative work environment which encourages employees to constantly improve their skills and remain up to date with modern tools and technologies, by means of:
- Encouraging individual contributions to open-source projects and civic initiatives;
- Sponsoring active participation in relevant national and international conferences, events, workshops and training courses;
- Supporting long-term education plans for each employee career development;
- Providing performant hardware infrastructure;
- Maintaining an environment-friendly workplace for the team.
Instead of aiming for a broad range of technologies, we decided to narrow our preferences and focus on high quality and high efficiency in Python (Django, Flask, Plone), PHP (Drupal), HTML5 and JavaScript (Node, Vue, React), Linux and Docker. We have adopted since the beginning an agile delivery model complemented by PMBOK or PM2 project management practices and the use of modern tools, both free and paid, to support the quality assurance and automation. Our tools, knowledge and efficient internal processes allow us to deliver projects faster and using less resources than other vendors, while maintaining high quality standards.
Eau de Web’s know-how and solutions are the result of an extensive international software development experience, comprising of technological platforms for over 20 public EU and UN agencies, used by millions of citizens worldwide.
Eau de Web is ISO 9001:2015 certified for our quality management system and ISO 14001:2015 certified for our environmental management system.
The name
Eau de Web is a paraphrase of eau de parfum, meaning a fragrance of web, close to its essence.

Work with us
The office is located near Arcul de Triumf, in a quiet neighborhood,
some of us even bike to work. There’s a fully equipped kitchen, also an
espresso machine with the best italian coffee, and an exquisite
selection of teas. We don’t cut corners on office furniture and IT -
dual monitors and your choice of linux, windows or mac.
We use any excuse to organize a social evening with poker and board
games. The company pays for gym membership and the odd wine party. We go
to conferences and regularly order technical books.
You may send a resume to [email protected].
Over time we learned to work profesionally. All code is under version
control (EEA’s GitHub repository, our github
account), we write unit tests, any important change goes
through peer code review, and we pair program when it makes sense.
Deployment to staging and production is automated, and we have
specialized people for testing and system administration. We also have
close, long-term relationships with our clients , and we work in
small iterations with quick feedback.
