The greatest demand for experts to work on software for the automotive, banking sector, logistics, healthcare
The good education of our experts and the quality of delivery are the greatest advantages of the Serbian IT market and many large global companies are competing to offer domestic engineers and developers better conditions. One of the global IT leaders, Luxoft, part of the global IT giant DXC Technology, recently opened its office in Serbia. Luxoft, that has been declared the best IT company in many countries around the world in which it operates, offers domestic experts all the advantages of working in a global corporation.
“Currently, Luxoft has over 300 open positions. We currently have 800 employees and will permanently have open positions for programmers in Serbia, as we plan to triple the number of employees by this time next year. Our biggest response expectations for the newcomers are in Belgrade, however since Luxoft works mostly remote, we have no restrictions on hiring candidates from any part of Serbia.” says Mihajlo Poštić, Managing Director of Luxoft Serbia.
Luxoft operates in 25 countries worldwide and delivers state-of-the-art software solutions to over 450 clients globally. Working in international teams on projects for the world’s most famous brands, cooperation with the world’s leading experts and unlimited opportunities for career development – are just some of the advantages of working at Luxoft. The experts of this company develop the latest software for the world’s most famous car manufacturers, banks and other financial organizations and numerous Fortune 500 companies from other industries.
Engineering Director Anton Bardyshev emphasizes that the automotive industry is very demanding and challenging for development however he firmly believes in the potential of the Serbian IT market: “Software development for the automotive industry is still in its infancy in Serbia, and Luxoft is an excellent opportunity for the experts who are interested in it. Faculties in Serbia provide an excellent base for this field, primarily C, C++ and C embedded programming languages, and we provide a unique upgrade of knowledge in practical work.”
Bardyshev also points out the great advantage of Serbia as a location: “Serbia’s huge advantage is that it is in the middle of Europe, and by coming to this location, Luxoft got physically closer to the big European car manufacturers it cooperates with. The fact that the hardware itself, i.e. cars for testing, is now more available to us, significantly increases the speed of delivery of solutions.”
Alexey Kosintsev, director for the cross-industry solutions in Serbia, also highlights projects in the field of retail, telecommunications and logistics: “We develop platforms that enable companies to monitor and control risks related to the supply chain. Also, our top application security team develops security solutions for one of the world’s largest telecommunications companies”
Healthcare projects also take an important role in the Luxoft portfolio, says Aleksander Zhirma, who is in charge of healthcare & life sciences projects: “In the field of dentistry, Luxoft is working on, I can freely say, revolutionary projects that will change the current orthodontic practice.” Our growing team in Belgrade is developing a state-of-the-art orthodontic platform that includes all stages of the process – from scanning the jaw with 3D technology to a 3D print showing the final appearance.”
“Certainly, as a country, we still have to work on a higher volume of education for IT experts, so that the capacity meets the great demand. For example, only Luxoft can employ all software engineers who graduate from Belgrade University,”stated Mihajlo Poštić.
