Software Development Companies in Serbia

Devtech was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in London, with offices publicly listed in London, San Francisco, Toronto, Belgrade and Novi Sad. Its headcount is reported at roughly 200 people, and it serves customers in more than 20 countries.

Its specialism is cloud enablement and channel and marketplace enablement for Telcos, CSPs, ISVs and MSPs, including Teams-as-a-Service. That specialism is the thing to settle first, because it decides most shortlists on its own: it is a narrower and deeper capability than general product engineering, and firms that have it are not interchangeable with firms that do not.

Best for: an ISV being onboarded to a hyperscaler marketplace, a CSP building out channel enablement, and buyers whose procurement requires the contracting counterparty to sit in a UK or North American jurisdiction rather than in Serbia.

HTEC Group was founded in Belgrade in 2008 and its global headquarters is now in San Francisco. It reportedly operates 29 locations in 12 countries, and its range spans software, hardware and product design rather than software alone.

That combined range is genuinely uncommon. Very few suppliers anywhere can carry a programme that has hardware, product design and software inside the same scope, and fewer still can do it under the governance that regulated industries require.

Best for: programmes that span hardware and software, deep work in regulated verticals, and buyers who need several sites staffed at once rather than a single team.

Levi9 is headquartered in the Netherlands and reportedly employs around 450 engineers across two Serbian delivery centres, in Novi Sad and Belgrade.

That structure is the point of it for many buyers. The commercial relationship, the contract and the escalation path sit with a Netherlands-headquartered company, while the engineering capacity sits in Serbia. For a European buyer whose legal and procurement teams would rather contract inside the EU, that split is a feature rather than a compromise.

Best for: buyers who want an EU contracting entity, and specifically a Dutch one, with substantial Serbian delivery capacity behind it.

Quantox was founded in Čačak and is headquartered in Belgrade. It states 500+ dedicated professionals working from 13 development centres in 7 countries, with public reporting naming those countries as Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ukraine, Romania and Germany. It also states 200+ completed projects and 50+ active in a year.

Sources disagree on its founding year, so this page does not state one. The figures above are the ones Quantox publishes about itself.

Best for: absorbing a requirement that arrives large or arrives suddenly, where a small supplier would simply run out of people, and for delivery that has to be staffed from more than one country.

StepTo is in Belgrade, Serbia, and has been building teams since 2014. It is a 15-20 person in-house engineering team working from one office, so a team can be assembled and productive in 2-3 weeks, with NDA, DPA and IP assignment signed before any work starts. Everyone works CET, which gives 3-4 hours of daily overlap with the US East Coast and a full shared day with the EU and UK.

It is the only company on this page that publishes rates: $25-85/hr by seniority, and $15K-25K/month for three engineers. That is possible because the engagements are narrow and similar in shape, which is a consequence of being small rather than a virtue in itself.

Best for: buyers who want a meaningful share of a small supplier's attention, every engineer in one room, and a budget they can build before they make contact.

StepTo is the wrong choice for a thirty-person ask next quarter, or for a hardware-plus-software programme. A 15-20 person company cannot staff either one, and those requirements belong with the larger firms on this page: HTEC Group for hardware and software together, and HTEC Group, Quantox, Symphony or Vega IT for volume.

Symphony was founded in 2007 and states 800+ experts worldwide across four continents. It describes its footprint as engineering hubs in Southeast Europe and LatAm plus consulting centres in Western Europe and the US, and Belgrade is one of its engineering hubs.

The consulting-plus-engineering split is what distinguishes it here. A buyer gets a senior counterpart inside their own timezone and business culture, with the engineering capacity carried elsewhere, which is a different proposition from buying engineering capacity on its own.

Best for: buyers who want a consulting presence in the US or Western Europe sitting alongside offshore engineering capacity, under one supplier.

Vega IT is based in Novi Sad and reportedly employs 500-1,000 people across six cities: Novi Sad, Belgrade, Zrenjanin, Niš, Podgorica and New York. It reportedly serves 200+ clients across sectors including FinTech, HealthTech, InsurTech and retail.

It is one of the most established names in Serbian software, and the sector spread is the practical consequence of that: a supplier with 200+ clients has almost certainly built something adjacent to whatever you are building, and can staff from a hiring pool across six cities.

Best for: buyers who want an established large Serbian firm with broad sector coverage and a long client list behind it.
