About us
We are Smartshore. We provide international hybrid software development teams that build custom online websites and web applications and integrations.
About that international hybrid part. Not unimportant, because Smartshore has two offices in India, in addition to an office in Utrecht. Some 60 of our colleagues work there, with whom we work very closely on a daily basis.
Our development teams consist of Indian developers with Dutch scrum masters and lead software engineers who are close to the customer and speak the same language. Combined with our tight agile processes, this gives our teams enormous power for our customers.
These processes are all about the right people. That's why we take good care of them. We deliberately choose to locate in cities like Ludhiana (Punjab) and Panaji (Goa) and not in a huge city and IT Hubs like Bangalore. Our developers therefore live close to their families and do not have to move to the other side of the country to work in an unfamiliar city where they know no or few people. So we deliberately give them opportunities close to their own families. We provide an inspiring work environment with good working conditions and invest in talent development. Moreover, all our colleagues are permanent employees. We are aware that in this way we can make a major impact on the quality of their lives and their families.
Utrecht
Smartshore has a nice workplace 10 minutes cycling distance from the center of Utrecht on a green campus and overlooking a beautiful green courtyard garden. We have a kitchen with well-stocked refrigerators, good coffee and tea and an enthusiastic colleague who will order anything you like to eat or drink. Our office has plenty of plants for fresh oxygen and with multiple meeting spaces and also two balconies for when you want to get some fresh air. We even have a large couch for when you want to hang out in comfort.
So in our Utrecht office, you become part of informal, dynamic and ambitious teams. Lines of communication are short, international and multidisciplinary. Because our developers in India are permanent employees, they are also loyal. With that, we pride ourselves on low turnover and that helps tremendously in building and improving our teams and colleagues.

You will be working in a young and inspiring environment. We have serious growth plans and are looking for fanatics who want to help build this. We offer a lot of freedom and dynamics and the team is very passionate.
