First Derivative, a managed services and consulting company, said on Monday that it is opening a new office in Lodz, Poland amid ‘significant’ customer demand. According to the press release, the growing demand trend comes from regional and international verticals.
A new office has been opened in Toronto, Canada, following the expansion of the company’s Toronto office and continued expansion of its Newry, Belfast and Dublin offices.
First Derivative has committed to hiring more than 1,000 highly-skilled engineers in Poland, across fields such as data engineering, software development, cloud and analytics. Also, First Derivative will offer graduate training through partnerships with local universities, echoing its relationship with leading academic institutions in other key markets around the world.

The new office will be led by Szymon Kaczmarczyk. Before joining First Derivative, Kaczmarczyk worked for digital transformation consultancy GFT Group. He brings a strong background in IT, finance and capital markets to the position.
“We have ambitious plans for Poland, and Łódź is the perfect location to expand our presence in engineering and strengthen our solutions. Under Szymon’s leadership, we are focused on building out our infrastructure, hiring talent at both graduate and experienced professional levels and marketing our services. We see Poland becoming a key location for us, especially in the areas of software development and Client Lifecycle Management,” David Collins, the Managing Director at First Derivative, commented.
