Offshore software development center scaling fintech and enterprise projects
SmartDev operates as a European-managed development center in Vietnam with 51–200 employees, serving fintech, enterprise, and startup customers across APIs, mobile banking, and complex backend systems. The hiring mix—10 senior roles against 3 mid-level and sparse data/sales depth—reflects an engineering-first org in execution mode, bolstered by a newly appointed Chief Commercial Officer and active go-to-market initiatives. Tech adoption of Next.js alongside core strengths in React, Node.js, and Azure signals a shift toward full-stack modern web development.
