Sr. Software Engineer

"[Smarty's] APIs are pretty responsive and met our scale needs. On top of it, their support is awesome. We had a billing issue once, and their online chat folks are super responsible and helped clear our issue in no time." 
Avinash G. 
Lead Solutions Architect

[Smarty] is my go-to geo-locating service. Their APIs are sensible and comprehensive, their data is the best available, and if you find a problem, their support will actually fix it for you." 
Sam T. 
Sr. Software Engineer

"Smarty makes address validation easy for a number of our products. And their customer service is excellent. They recently noticed that we were paying for a service we were not even using, so we canceled that service and saved some money."

Around the world, people celebrate Christmas in all kinds of ways. In Iceland, it’s tradition to read books by candlelight on Christmas Eve. Christmas firework shows are a staple in El Salvador. Families in Australia often spend Christmas Day playing cricket. At Smarty, we keep the season bright with a few traditions of our own. From wacky holiday decorating to gingerbread house competitions, we love taking the holidays to the next level. So stick around; things are about to get festive. Our favorite Christmas traditions are:Seasonal service projectsUpside-down holiday decorUgly Sweater DayThe Great Gingerbread House Bake OffAddy the Address ElfYuletide karaokeLetters to SantaGift-wrapping extravaganzaSeasonal service projectsWe like to celebrate the season of giving by giving back! This year, we participated in United Way's Sub for Santa program, where families—or Smartys 😉—sub in for Santa by donating gifts to local families in need.
Accessibility best practices at Smarty
Arrow Icon
An enterprise-level customer of Smarty’s recently shared how impressed they were with our accessibility-first approach, inquiring about how we designed our tools to function in a way that feels equitable and usable for everyone. At Smarty, one of our core values is outwardness — seeing people as people, not objects or caricatures. Every person who interacts with our tools has their own needs, wants, and objectives, and accessibility is one of the most meaningful ways we connect with people - an area we’re striving to improve.
