Senior teams that ship whole software products

Zendev is a Swedish-Bosnian software development agency founded in 2016 by engineers from Chalmers University. 

Our headquarters is in Gothenburg, with engineering teams in Mostar and Sarajevo. Today we're 100+ people.

We start with the business problem, then scope the build around it. When a cheaper or faster route exists, we say so.

That approach comes from running our own products, including Avidnote (70,000+ researchers across 100+ universities such as Princeton and Cornell) and the e-commerce brand Hidroxa.

Our Story

Nikola and Senad met at Chalmers 20 years ago. Two Balkan engineers who bonded over basketball and how software actually gets built. Both spent time around Silicon Valley and saw the engineering talent back home in Bosnia was just as good, but nobody had built the bridge. In 2016, Senad went back to Mostar and hired three people. Today we run tech teams for some of Scandinavia's biggest brands. 100+ people across Gothenburg, Mostar, and Sarajevo.

Meet the Team

Haris Husejnovic

Haris HusejnovicGrowth Manager

Haris leads growth at Zendev, with a focus on logistics and industrial companies. 15+ years in marketing and SEO, including 7 years of running a 30-person agency. A Bosnian in Gothenburg, and often the first person new clients talk to.

Nikola Mirkovic

Nikola MirkovicCo-founder / Co-CEO

Nikola co-founded Zendev and runs it as co-CEO. A former software engineer who thinks like a CFO, he talks about technical debt, staff augmentation, and what both really cost. He turns a rough idea into a business case worth investing in.

Nermin Marić

Nermin MarićChief Technology Officer (CTO)

Nermin leads engineering at Zendev as CTO. With 10+ years in the field, he sets the architecture, keeps the codebase healthy, and builds teams, whether that's a small backend unit or a full nearshore department for a client.

What Sets Us Apart

We run engineering hubs for big corporations

We're ICA's IT Country Partner in Bosnia, building and staffing a 50+person team across their retail, banking, and insurance operations. Few nearshore agencies operate at that scale for a brand of that size.

We own the products we build

We don't only build for clients. We own and run our own software, including Avidnote, used by 70,000+ researchers at universities like Princeton and Cornell. We build your product the way we build ours.

We turn work down

If we don't think a project will succeed, we say so before you spend the money. That honesty is a big reason our average client stays with us 5+ years.
