New Feature Development for Austin, TX Startups

Alta Marea embeds a senior engineer directly into your existing codebase to scope, build, and ship a specific feature end-to-end, from your backlog to production, without the ramp-up cost of a full-time hire or the context-switching cost of pulling your own team off their roadmap.
Why Austin, TX teams choose us

The one genuinely Austin-specific competitor page we found pitches itself around rescuing fragile early-stage prototypes, not shipping a new feature into an already-mature, already-live product. Even the best local page doesn't match this exact need, which leaves it open.

Timezone

Austin runs on the exact same UTC-5 offset as Medellín for roughly eight months of the year (CDT), a one-hour drift the other four (CST).

Local context

Austin's tech sector employs nearly 196,000 people, and real B2B software companies like CrowdStrike have relocated their HQ here: a mature software market, not just an early-stage founder scene.

Common questions

A contractor works your ticket in isolation. Our engineer works inside your team, in your sprint cadence, accountable to shipping it the way your own engineers would, not handing off code you then have to unpick.

It stays entirely yours. Every engagement starts with a signed NDA and IP assignment, so all code and data we touch is your property from day one: never shared, resold, or used to train external models. Access is scoped to your own systems and revoked the moment an engagement ends, so you're always in control.

Either. Ship the feature and hand it off cleanly, or keep the same engineer on as an ongoing pod member if there's more roadmap behind it.
