Seattle startup development — for founders who escaped big tech.
Many Seattle founders came from Amazon, Microsoft, and Tableau. They know what good software looks like. RCB Software builds Seattle startup products that meet the bar those founders are used to — fixed-price.
Seattle startup founder (often ex-big tech) who has high technical standards and needs V1 built correctly
Ex-big tech founders have high expectations — and they should. They've worked in codebases where every PR has a thoughtful review, every deployment has automated testing, and every decision has a written rationale.
The challenge for Seattle startup founders: Finding a developer who meets those standards without the big-company overhead. The startup environment demands: move fast, ship soon, but don't build something embarrassing.
What RCB Software delivers for Seattle founders:
- Code that looks like it was written by a senior engineer, because it was
- Architecture decisions documented with rationale
- Deployment with CI/CD from day one
- Error monitoring before the first external user

Three steps, every time.
The same repeatable engagement on every project. No surprises, no mystery, no billable ambiguity.
Brief & discovery.
We send you questions, then get on a call. Output: a written scope with every step, feature, and integration listed.
Build & ship.
Fixed schedule, weekly reviews. No scope creep unless you change the scope — and if you do, we reprice it transparently.

30-day warranty on every launch. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer for ongoing features and maintenance.
Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
Seattle founders understand incentive alignment. Fixed-price aligns the developer with project outcomes, not hours logged.
Questions, answered.
Ex-Amazon engineers are excellent system designers. Their strength is building within large systems. Building from zero, at startup speed, with full product ownership: that's a different skill. Both are valuable at different stages.
