Asmallstudioofsenioroperators.
We're an 8-person product engineering studio. Every person on the team has shipped production software for at least 8 years. No juniors, no hand-offs, no surprises.
We started KODEVS because we were tired of agencies that staff projects with juniors and hide behind account managers.
Every person on this page has shipped production software at companies you've heard of. We left those jobs because we wanted to build things end to end -- from the first user interview to the last deploy.
We keep the team small on purpose. Eight people means everyone works on every project. It means you talk to the person writing your code, not someone relaying messages. It means we say no to projects that aren't a fit.
We believe the best software comes from small teams with full context and full trust. That's how we work, and that's who we hire.
Valuesweshipby.
Four principles that guide every decision, from architecture to hiring.
Ship over polish
Working software in users' hands beats pixel-perfect mockups in a Figma graveyard. We ship weekly, demo constantly, and iterate based on real feedback.
Own the outcome
We don't throw code over a wall. Every project includes monitoring, documentation, and a 30-day support window. If it breaks in prod, it's our problem too.
Boring technology wins
We pick proven tools over shiny ones. Postgres over the database of the week. Next.js over the framework that just launched. Boring scales; hype doesn't.
Small team, full trust
You work directly with the people writing the code — no account managers, no telephone game. Our Linear board is your Linear board.
