Custom software development company in Seattle

No. We have no US entity, no Washington office and nobody on the payroll in the United States. SpiderHunts Technologies Ltd is UK-registered, with a registered office in London, and the whole team works remotely. We work with Seattle clients remotely, by video, and schedule calls, demos and reviews in your Pacific Time working hours.

Usually for capacity on work that keeps losing to customer-facing priorities, or for a specific skill you do not want to hire permanently, such as machine learning, data pipelines or a one-off integration. We work to your standards, inside your repositories and review process, and hand back documented code your team can own. If you need neither capacity nor a specific skill, we will say so.

Yes, and we prefer to. Work lands in your repositories through pull requests, runs through your CI pipelines and goes through your review process, following your conventions for testing, branching and releases. Engineers get named, least-privilege access you can revoke at any time, so nothing about the codebase or infrastructure depends on us once the work is handed over.

Projects are quoted in pounds sterling and invoiced in US dollars at the rate agreed in the quote, so both sides know the dollar figure before work starts. Invoices are raised by SpiderHunts Technologies Ltd against a written scope with milestones, and we can complete a W-8BEN-E for your accounts payable team. Payment by ACH, wire or card. Your legal team is welcome to work from your own master services agreement rather than ours.

In your accounts, not ours. Seattle teams commonly choose AWS us-west-2 in Oregon, Azure West US 2, which sits in Washington, or Google Cloud us-west1 in Oregon, all a short network hop from the city. Code goes to your GitHub, GitLab or Azure DevOps. Engineers get named, least-privilege access you can revoke at any time, and production data stays out of development environments unless you ask otherwise.

They can. Washington has a biometric privacy law covering identifiers enrolled for commercial purposes, and the My Health My Data Act, which reaches consumer health data well beyond hospitals, including some app and website data. In general terms that means clear notice, consent before collection or sharing, and honouring deletion requests. So we build consent records, data maps and deletion jobs that actually run. Whether either law applies is for your counsel.

On the commercial software side, yes: configuration control, certificate and inspection records tied to each part, supplier quality tracking and the evidence a customer audit asks for. We cannot take work that requires US persons, such as some projects controlled under ITAR or EAR, because our team is not based in the United States. We say so on the first call, so your export-control team can decide what is in scope before anything is shared.

Yes. Puget Sound supply chains run from the terminals in Seattle and Tacoma through Kent Valley warehouses to the customer’s door, and the data rarely lines up. We build visibility that merges carrier, terminal and warehouse feeds, scheduling for berths, docks and labour, and stock positions that agree across channels. Integrations are built defensively, with retries and reconciliation, because a feed will eventually send a malformed record overnight.

That is usually what we recommend. Puget Sound manufacturers, distributors and retailers often run an ERP that is embedded in purchasing, quality and finance, and a rip-and-replace is where most of the money and most of the risk goes. We build the layer above it instead: scheduling, traceability, quality records and reporting that reads live data without a six-figure module. Our note on integrating with an ERP rather than replacing it covers the approach.

We build to the technical safeguards HIPAA expects: encryption in transit and at rest, unique user identity, role-based access, automatic logoff, integrity checks and audit logs of who saw which record. We will not call the result HIPAA-compliant, because compliance covers your policies, training, contracts and physical controls as well as the software. Whether a business associate agreement is needed is a decision for your counsel. Clinical integration is normally through HL7 or FHIR interfaces your own team controls.

You get a written quote after a free scoping call. As typical ranges from our service pages: an internal tool or MVP is £8,000–£20,000 over 4–8 weeks, a business web application £20,000–£45,000 over 2–4 months, and a larger platform or modernisation £45,000–£80,000+ over 3–6 months. A focused machine learning model is £8,000–£25,000 and a single-purpose AI agent £5,000–£12,000. Those are quoted in pounds and invoiced in dollars; cloud and third-party licence costs are separate and stay in your own accounts.

No. We are fully remote, so meetings and day-to-day work happen over video, Slack or Teams and a shared board. Where a project would normally open with an on-site workshop, we run it as two or three shorter video sessions in your Pacific Time working hours instead, which works better over video than one long day does.
