Aligned Code specializes in creating production software for teams that require precision due to complex data, external APIs, or regulated processes. Established in 2013, our senior-led teams deliver projects in two-week sprints, overseeing everything from architecture to production implementation. In terms of custom software development, we collaborate closely with founders and product leaders on SaaS platforms, marketplaces, and internal tools. Notable projects include enhancing API boundaries and improving release speeds for a growing sales-enablement SaaS (ClosedWon) and recovering a multi-runtime platform when the previous team left with no deployable source code (SquareFoot: Rails, React, Next.js, WordPress). Our work in FinTech, Trading, and Market Data includes automation, scoring engines, and research portals designed to ensure execution safety and reliability with auditable results. This includes idempotent order handling across broker APIs (Edge Navigator), a seven-factor stock scoring system using live OHLCV feeds (Sticky Trades), and 50 years of housing indicators presented with sub-second chart latency (Norris Group). We employ institutional patterns from BCT (65+ exchanges), Vault (hybrid banking core), and Serenity (risk analytics related to the Talos acquisition). In the realm of AI and data-intensive products, we focus on analytics and automation based on deterministic pipelines rather than just demonstration AI. For instance, FriendlyData's natural language query engine was acquired by ServiceNow. We also develop streaming, lakehouse, and query layers, particularly when history and scalability are vital. In mobile and OTT, we create cross-platform applications and streaming interfaces, including major OTT projects reaching over 1 million users. Our approach involves fixed senior squads with direct access to team leads and transparent project estimates. Engagements generally start at $25,000 and can extend into multi-month product development partnerships. Since our inception in 2013, we've successfully launched over 100 products. Our company has received accolades including Clutch’s Top Software Developer, Mobile App Developer, and App Modernization badges, along with strong verified client feedback on Clutch and Upwork.
