Based in the beautiful city of Delft in the Netherlands and with close academic and professional links to Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) which is ranked as one of the top technology universities in the world, PLAXIS’s software engineering team is involved in product definition, software development, and delivery for PLAXIS software. The team works closely together with research engineers and quality engineers in a supportive, stimulating, and informal environment. As part of Seequent/Bentley Systems, the team closely collaborates with leading software development teams from around the globe on advancing a range of cutting-edge technologies and projects. We are proud to be fully supported by Seequent/ Bentley Systems, and retain the “family” vibe which we have nurtured over the years. It is for this reason why so many of our employees have been happy to remain with us for so long and continue to develop in their careers.
