Custom software for San Jose teams, built to survive production.
We build web platforms, internal tools, and business software for San Jose and Bay Area companies, designed, built, and operated by the same senior engineers in Django and Next.js. Remote-first, with a Bay Area presence.
Three situations we see at the start of every engagement
Bay Area startups who've validated an idea on Streamlit, Bubble, or a quick script and now need a real production system before growth stalls, without a full rebuild that takes a year.
Tech companies that need senior engineers immediately, not in six months after a hiring cycle, and won't get them from an agency that swaps in a junior team after the proposal is signed.
Established Bay Area businesses running on software built years ago that now creates security exposure, slows every release, and has accumulated technical debt no internal team wants to own.
Recent work
Ailyze had built a qualitative research analyzer on Streamlit. We converted it into a secure, production-grade Django SaaS with proper user management, integrations, and a product UI built for real research teams.
Read the case study →Setera's existing portal was slow and worked against the team. We built custom software with an interface designed around how their business actually operates: complex data flows, clean UI, no compromises.
Read the case study →ResInnov was losing users to slow load times and downtime under load. We rebuilt the platform for speed, mobile performance, and resilience. The kind of work that compounds over time.
Read the case study →How we work
A defined problem with clear deliverables. We scope it, build it, and hand it over with documentation. Right for greenfield builds and well-understood migrations.
A named team of senior engineers embedded in your product cycle. Works well for ongoing development, high velocity requirements, or products that are never fully "done."
One senior engineer inside your existing team, aligned to your tools and processes. No separate agency relationship, no context-switching tax.
Same model as our full software practice: engagements typically start at $25,000 · embedded engineering from $6,000/engineer/mo · discovery & scoping from $1,500. Pricing in USD. INR billing available.
Why San Jose companies work with Shubpy
The offshore dev shop pitch sounds the same as ours until the project starts. Here is what is actually different.
What to expect from the engagement
Do you actually work with San Jose and Bay Area companies?+
Yes. Remote-first with a San Jose presence for in-person time when the project calls for it. Senior engineers who stay on the engagement, not a rotating roster.
How does the timezone overlap work day to day?+
Our engineering team is in Gurugram, India, with a San Jose office for partnership. We keep a 9am–1pm PST overlap window: real-time collaboration when you need it, not a 12-hour lag on every question.
Do you work with early-stage startups as well as established businesses?+
Both. Whether you're building an MVP or extending a mature platform, the same senior team scopes and builds it. The engagement model adjusts, the quality doesn't.
Can you work alongside our existing engineering team?+
Yes. Embedded engineering is one of our standard engagement models: one or more senior engineers working inside your team, on your codebase, in your tools, without managing a separate agency relationship.
Do you travel to San Jose for workshops and kick-offs?+
Yes. We use the San Jose office for kick-offs, design workshops, and architecture reviews. We won't fly to every sprint ceremony, but we're available for the sessions that warrant it.
