We are growing our team to bolster lingohub’s software localization magic

While building a magical platform solution for software localization (and rolling out some new parts of our website), we have also added to our team in Novi Sad, Serbia. Strengthening our development team and adding a market research intern will take lingohub to the next level. You will love what’s coming in the next few weeks! Say hello to three new lingohubbers:

Introducing our Novi Sad development office

This weekend, with a sense of achievement, we took a train home from our new development office in Novi Sad, Serbia. When I first saw the office, I knew a lot of work had to be done before we would call it a ‘real’ lingohub office. However, with the help from friends we were able to officially open the office on November 1st, and now it is a comfortable and creative place for our dev team to work from.

Markus and I have spent the last week there together with our developers (we’ve previously introduced Djorde and Marko in our blog) working on new features to be rolled out soon. It feels really great working together with our new lingohubbers and pushing out features. By the way, we will cover those new features in our next round-up post, stay tuned for that.

If you are ever in Novi Sad (the second largest city in Serbia) and you want to know more about lingohub or how it is to be a lingohubber: stop by to grab a cup of coffee and chat with us. We’ll gladly show you around and demonstrate our product.

Thank you to all our helpers and to our incredible team. We are super excited about where we will take lingohub next.
