# App Development Company in Austin, TX | GTS Infosoft

People move to Austin to spend less and build more — that's the whole pitch, from the missing state income tax to office space at half of what SoMa charges. Hiring like it's Palo Alto defeats the point. GTS Infosoft extends the same logic to engineering: senior India-based developers from around USD 20 an hour, building the SaaS platforms, mobile apps and AI features Austin startups actually ship.

The honest version: we're an offshore studio, headquartered in Jodhpur, India, and we've never claimed a South Congress address. What we do have is a work day arranged around yours — our early shift covers roughly 8 AM to noon Central, four live hours for standups, demos and decisions — plus a US point of contact in Kirkland, Washington for contracts and paperwork.

Sixteen years and 250-plus applications in, we've built for every stage Austin produces: pre-seed founders racing a demo day, funded teams replacing the prototype that got them their round, and established firms bolting software onto hardware businesses. ISO 9001:2015 certification keeps the process documented either way. A hundred-plus clients so far — most found us exactly the way you just did.

## What We Build for Austin Companies
- **SaaS platforms** — Multi-tenant B2B products with billing, admin and analytics on React, Node.js and PostgreSQL — architected to survive the growth your pitch deck promises.
- **MVPs on a deadline** — Investor-ready builds scoped tight and shipped fast, in Flutter or React Native when one codebase needs to cover both app stores.
- **AI product features** — LLM features, chat interfaces and document intelligence in Python and OpenAI — production systems with measurable outcomes, not demo-day vapor.
- **Hardware companion software** — Dashboards, mobile companions and fleet tooling for Austin's semiconductor, energy and device companies — software that talks to physical things.
- **Marketplace and community apps** — Two-sided marketplaces, booking systems and community products, with the payment and trust mechanics that make or break them.

## Why Austin Teams Work With GTS
- **Runway arithmetic** — A senior Austin engineer now runs USD 150K-plus a year — Bay Area transplants brought Bay Area salaries with them. Our senior rate starts near USD 20 an hour.
- **Four hours live, daily** — Central Time gives Austin the longest overlap window we offer: roughly 8 AM to noon CT with engineers on Slack and video.
- **Seniors, not a bench** — The team that scopes your product builds your product. No handoff to whoever's free, no rotating cast of juniors.
- **Certified process** — ISO 9001:2015 quality management — documented requirements, traceable testing, and handovers your future CTO will thank you for.

## Industries We Know in Austin
- **VC-backed SaaS** — Austin mints B2B software companies, and we build for that pipeline: first MVPs through post-funding rebuilds, priced so the raise lasts longer.
- **Semiconductors and hardware** — With Samsung, NXP and AMD anchoring the region, there's steady demand for supplier portals, test dashboards and internal tooling — our kind of work.
- **Clean energy** — Solar, storage and EV-adjacent companies need monitoring dashboards, customer apps and fleet software. Texas's grid drama keeps this sector busy.
- **Music, media and events** — SXSW made Austin an events town. Ticketing tools, artist platforms, festival apps and the scheduling software behind live production.
- **Consumer and creator apps** — A city this online produces consumer startups constantly — we build the mobile apps, feeds and monetization behind them.

## How We Work Across Time Zones
- **Live until Austin lunch** — From about 8 AM to noon CT, your engineers are on Slack and video in real time — the decision-making part of the day is fully covered.
- **Overnight compounding** — Work continues while Austin sleeps; you review progress each morning instead of watching it happen. Founders learn to like this fast.
- **Written by default** — Decisions, blockers and scope changes go in shared boards and weekly summaries. Six months on, you can reconstruct why anything was built.
- **Demos, not status meetings** — Every sprint ends with working software on a screen, recorded and shared. If it doesn't run, it doesn't count as done.

## FAQ

### Do you have an office in Austin?
No. We're based in India and serve Austin remotely — no Domain address, no local markup baked into the rate. Contracts go through our US point of contact in Kirkland, Washington, and our shift overlaps your morning by about four hours.

### Why hire offshore when Austin is full of developers?
Austin has great engineers — priced accordingly, since relocated tech companies pushed senior salaries past USD 150K. If your raise needs to last, USD 20 an hour for equivalent seniority is a different runway equation.

### Can you take over a codebase from a previous team?
Yes, and it's common — usually a prototype from a freelancer or an agency that stopped answering. We audit it first, tell you plainly what's salvageable, then either extend or rebuild with a fixed estimate.

### How does the time difference work day to day?
Your 8 AM to noon Central is live: standups, demos, calls. Afternoon requests get picked up on our next shift and answered by your next morning. Most weeks, the overnight progress is the part clients like best.

### Who owns the IP if we're pre-incorporation or between raises?
You do, whatever your stage. NDAs come first, IP assignment is contractual, and code sits in repositories under your control — which is exactly what your future investors' lawyers will check.
