WE ARE

The project is focused on developing the conference room camera. That is really a high-potential direction on American and European markets now. The device will work on the latest Android OS. We will develop firmware for that particular hardware. So it would not have any issues with backward compatibility of legacy or outdated devices and features.

We are closely working with the customer and have communication on a daily basis. The customer is located in Silicon Valley, so you should expect status meetings in the evening.

We have a really good relationship with the customer and willing to continue that. From SoftServe's part, we already have 15 Software Engineers and expect you to be a part of the team.
