Uruit 2nd Office For Product Development in Colombia<\/span><\/h1>\n

At a sunny and cheerful WeWork in the Chic\u00f3 Norte region of Bogot\u00e1 is located the new Uruit office in Colombia<\/a>. The main reason why we d<\/strong><\/span>ecided to expand to Bogot\u00e1 is due to the city\u2019s size and its vast pool of talented professionals in different areas of product development outsourcing.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“During these years working with nearshore software development in Colombia, we\u2019ve had the opportunity of receiving job candidates from Bogot\u00e1. Some of them are part of our team today, while others aren’t, mainly because they couldn’t move to Medell\u00edn.<\/span><\/p>\n

From our experience, we realized that there are great profiles in Bogot\u00e1 with strong skills in English and technical areas we’re interested in, such as Data Engineering, UX, Devops, and Machine Learning.\u201d says Marcelo Martinez, Uruit Colombia Country Manager.<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides being a technology and innovation pool in Latin America, Bogot\u00e1 also offers more airline connections, especially to and from the USA, UruIT\u2019s main market since its inception in 2007.<\/strong> We started operations in Montevideo, Uruguay, and in 2016 opened a development center in Medell\u00edn<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

“<\/span>Being in Bogot\u00e1 will allow us to tackle bigger and more ambitious projects, as well as to add more value to our existing clients, complementing their projects with new capabilities,” explains Martinez.<\/span><\/p>\n

Planning the Colombian expansion<\/h3>\n

The first time Bogot\u00e1 was considered as an expansion option was at the end of 2018, when the executive team was discussing strategic plans for 2019. Around six months later, two Human Resources members spent a few days in Bogot\u00e1 to get to know the city and analyze office real estate options.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The cowork is beautiful and it has our style. Each company has its own office, but there are also collaborative spaces for networking and exchanging ideas with different professionals. The installations are inspiring and they offer attractive benefits that are part of the perks we offer at Uruit, mainly because they foster sharing and collaboration,\u201d says Alejandro Ochoa, Uruit’s People Care Champion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since September, a developer has already been working from the new office, receiving constant visits from his Medell\u00edn colleagues. UruIT Colombia expects to fill the room quickly by hiring developers with experience in the company’s main technologies: Angular, .NET, React, Node, and Django. You can learn more about the open positions <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

On October 15th we had an opening event at the WeWork, wherein a couple of developers gave talks on NodeJs and React. <\/span>Also, Marcelo and Alejandro presented Uruit, our projects, work culture, and open positions. Around 80 professionals from Bogot\u00e1’s tech community attended.<\/p>\n

We’re thrilled to be in this new city and to keep offering great product development outsourcing options, from product strategy<\/a> to product growth<\/a>. And we’re excited to always be growing our highly skilled team of developers, designers, Product Owners, and more.<\/p>\n
