Seattle engineers are among the most expensive in the US — Amazon and Microsoft alumni set compensation expectations, and startups fight for the same senior frontend and platform people. Product culture here is engineering-led: service-level objectives, observability, and sane CI matter as much as UI polish. Teams ship global products from PT and need partners who understand multi-tenant SaaS, usage billing, and storefront performance at scale. Layoff cycles pushed more talent freelance, but continuity is fragile. Jythu offers stable pods for React/Next.js work, Shopify Plus performance passes, and AI features with tracing — with overlap on Seattle mornings and documentation that survives team churn.
Jythu ships cross-platform mobile apps with React Native — one TypeScript core, native modules where they matter, and store listing polish included. We handle offline sync, push, analytics, and the release train so you are not juggling two separate native teams on day one. MVPs to dual-store launches with honest scope boundaries. For Seattle teams, that usually means fewer contractor handoffs and a partner who will cut scope when the calendar is real.
Puget Sound — cloud, commerce, and gaming-adjacent product companies on Pacific Time (PT). We tailor App development around local collaboration habits — local proof section, city case study/testimonial, timezone/response-time note.

Why teams in Seattle hire Jythu
Built for engineering-led buyers — staging on every PR, runbooks, and honest tradeoff memos on Pacific mornings, not account-manager theater or ticket queues without context.
Senior builders, written scope
Two-week sprints, staging on every PR, and deliverables your team can own — not a black-box ticket queue.
US business-hours overlap
Core standups land in your workday with async PRs ready when you log on.
AI productivity app (NDA)
A startup needed iOS and Android in public stores for a demo-day narrative — sync, offline handling, and a usable AI assist, not a prototype video. Eight weeks was the hard deadline.
Result: React Native dual-store launch on deadline with a focused feature cut and listing QA. Early App Store rating hovered around 4.8 in the first launch window.

Questions teams ask before kicking off
Do you overlap with Seattle Pacific hours?
Yes — core collab is late morning to early afternoon PT, with overnight progress toward your next standup.
Can you work inside our AWS-centric stack?
We routinely deploy on AWS, Vercel, or your chosen host — in your accounts, with IaC and secrets handled to your standards.
How do retainers work for ongoing roadmap work?
Monthly capacity with sprint SLAs, demo every two weeks, and scale-up/down with notice — typical post-launch pattern for Seattle SaaS teams.
Should we build iOS and Android at the same time?
We start with a discovery call, then a written in/out list for App development. Estimates follow constraints — timeline, stack, and who owns the repo — not a one-size quote calculator.
