WE ARE

SoftServe is a global digital solutions company headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded in 1993. Our associates work on 2,000+ projects with clients in the USA, Europe, LATAM, and APAC. We are about people who create bold things, make a difference, have fun, and love their work.

We are cooperating with a client that is a US-based company that owns a platform delivering unmatched value for contractors, providing greater control, deeper insights, and enhanced service to their customers. Together with the client, we are transitioning from a legacy monolithic PHP application to a modern, headless architecture powered by a REST API and a new React-based frontend.
