Software development for Seattle companies
Headcount won't arrive this quarter, and the order process spread across six systems still stops halfway whenever one step times out. Our senior engineers, the ones you meet, design and build the platform with durable workflows underneath, so a process that runs for days resumes where it stopped. In Seattle that's an online retailer running Kent Valley warehouses, an aerospace supplier in Everett, or a Ballard maritime company.

Serving
Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Tacoma
Cloud software on the Eastside, commerce at global scale and the aircraft Boeing assembles in Everett and Renton, the very abstract and the very physical in one metro. Whichever side you work on, governance, evaluation and what a system costs to keep running tend to come up in the first meeting rather than the last.
AzureTechFabric is a Databricks partner with an award-winning Databricks engineering team, 80 of them Databricks-certified, and a Temporal partner. Where a system reaches past the workspace we build on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud.
What software development covers
Web applications
Applications built to be changed safely years after the original team has moved on. That means tests that mean something, seams where the business logic can move, and a deployment nobody is afraid of.
Mobile applications
iOS and Android, built as products rather than as ports. The maintenance story is decided at the start, while it is still cheap.
APIs and integration
The seams between systems, done once and properly. Most of the expensive failures we are called into are integration failures wearing another name.
Data platforms
The layer underneath the application, on Databricks, Azure, AWS or Google Cloud. If the reporting and the application disagree, the platform is the reason.
Modernisation of what exists
Often the work arrives as something already built that has become hard to change. We would rather read it and tell you honestly whether it is worth keeping than sell a rewrite you may not need.
Durable, auditable workflows
Processes that take days, call several systems and must never half-complete. Getting that right is a different discipline from getting a request handler right, and it is where we spend most of our time.
App development in Seattle
Commerce and supply chain apps here span six systems and multi-day processes: an order that ships, returns, refunds and reconciles. We build the app as a client of a durable workflow, so the process finishes.
Mobile app developmentDynamics 365 consultants in Seattle
Aerospace suppliers around Paine Field, ecommerce sellers and maritime and logistics firms at the Port of Seattle use Dynamics 365 Business Central for inventory, fulfilment and multi-entity finance. We implement it with Dynamics 365 CRM and connect it to marketplaces, carriers and the Azure services they already run.
In Washington, a shopping basket can be health data
Seattle sits under Washington's My Health My Data Act, which reaches well past hospitals to the online retailers of South Lake Union and the warehouses of the Kent Valley. Infer a health condition from a shopping basket and you hold consumer health data, which needs consent to collect or share and must be deleted on request, backups included. Consumers can sue under the state's Consumer Protection Act.
Most commerce estates can't prove a deletion, because nobody knows how many copies of a customer exist. There's the order table in the warehouse, a marketing extract, a feature store for recommendations and three analysts' notebooks. We won't call a deletion done until lineage can list every table that held that customer, and the run that removed them has left a record of its own.
The first two weeks map copies. We switch on Unity Catalog lineage across the estate, tag the columns that could reveal health information, and run one real deletion request end to end, timing each step through to the Delta VACUUM that removes the old files. What breaks becomes the backlog, and the migration is planned around it.
Clients we have done this for
Online orders end in a warehouse, where software has to keep pace with physical work. At Funko, the warehouse management system was built to cut operating expense, reduce reliance on manual work and double throughput efficiency, and operational efficiency doubled.
Warehouse management
Funko
Funko consolidated its distribution into one Arizona warehouse and needed the system running it to keep up. Our engineers went on-site and sat with the warehouse and operations teams, extended the module Funko already had instead of starting over, and the warehouse doubled its operational efficiency.
How an engagement runs
01
A technical conversation
Not a sales call. An engineer, asking what you are trying to do, what has been tried and what it will actually take. Where the work needs them, product and design people join the same conversation.
02
Two weeks, fixed fee
A short assessment ending in a written plan with a scope, a sequence and a number. You own the document whether or not you carry on with us.
03
Build with your team in the repo
Senior throughout, and no pyramid with one architect over a floor of juniors. The person in your standup is the person writing the code.
04
Run it
We stay on the pager. Nobody designs a fragile thing they will personally be woken by, which is most of why this arrangement produces different software.
Two weeks, fixed fee, and a written plan whether or not you build it with us.
Tell an engineer what you want to build
A senior engineer reads it and replies within one business day, usually with the questions that decide the first two weeks.
Around Seattle
Swift in Ballard, Java in Bellevue
Seattle Xcoders, the city's long-running Apple developer group, holds socials at Bale Breaker in Ballard on most first and third Thursdays and talk nights at North Seattle College a few times a year, recently on Swift and WASM and on CI with GitHub Actions. SeaJUG has met since the mid-1990s and rotates between host offices downtown and in Bellevue.
A Java group that's met for three decades has watched plenty of frameworks arrive and leave, which is a fair test for any stack a proposal names. The Allen School's Professional Master's Program meets one evening a week at the Paul G. Allen Center, built for engineers already in work. For a process that runs for days across several systems, we build durable workflows that resume where they stopped.

User group · Roughly monthly, weekday evenings
Seattle Java User Group (SeaJUG)
Three decades of meetings means SeaJUG has seen frameworks come and go, a good test for any stack a vendor proposes to you.
Volunteer organisers. Rotates between host offices in Seattle and Bellevue.
User group · Socials on most first and third Thursdays, talks several times a year
Seattle Xcoders
Talks on CI with GitHub Actions and on Swift and WASM make Xcoders a practical room for anyone shipping an iPhone app alongside a web platform.
Volunteer organisers. Socials at Bale Breaker, Ballard; talks at North Seattle College.
University · Ongoing part-time degree programme, evenings
Professional Master's Program (PMP), Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering
Since the Allen School's part-time master's targets engineers already working, it signals where local teams are building skills next.
University of Washington Paul G. Allen School. Paul G. Allen Center, 185 E Stevens Way NE, University of Washington.
User group · Roughly every two months, weekdays
Global AI Seattle
Built for developers working with AI, these meetups help a platform team judge what adding a model to its roadmap will really take.
Volunteer organisers, Global AI Community. Rotates between Seattle and Bellevue.

FAQ
Software development in Seattle: common questions
Do you work with Seattle companies?
Yes, and with companies across the United States. Arizona does not observe daylight saving, so from March to November we are on the same clock as you and from November to March we are an hour ahead. Either way the working day overlaps almost completely.
Do you have an office in Seattle?
The office is in Gilbert, Arizona, with teams in Amsterdam, Dnipro and Hyderabad. Delivery is remote or hybrid, and we travel for discovery, workshops and the opening weeks of a build.
How do you handle deletion and retention across a commerce estate?
As a platform capability rather than a policy page. Retention rules and deletion requests act on the event log and the projections derived from it, so a deletion is a real operation with a record rather than a job somebody runs and hopes about.
What kinds of custom software do you build?
Web applications, mobile applications, APIs and the data platforms underneath them. The work we do best is the sort that has to be governed and auditable, where a wrong write is expensive and somebody has to be able to explain afterwards what changed and why.
Do you take over an existing codebase?
Often, yes. A good part of the work arrives as something already built that has become hard to change. We would rather read it and tell you honestly whether it is worth keeping than sell you a rewrite you may not need.

What else we build for Seattle companies.
AI consulting and development in Seattle
An agent that demos well won't reach production until someone can show how it's governed, how it's scored and what it costs to run all day.
Databricks consulting in Seattle
Auditors keep asking where every copy of a customer lives, and with duplicates across the warehouse nobody can prove a deletion.
